A mix of ammonia and the distinct odor of urine swirls inside the air in your home. It rapidly spreads into the house, seeping into the soft surfaces in the environment and gripping into the air circulation pushing out into the confined space. Normally, cats are fairly trained animals that are proficient in utilizing their litter box for their bathroom needs. However, accidents can occur whether the cat is experiencing some type of medical ailment that leaves them unable to make it to or use the litter box or the cat is acting out due to some outside reason such as moving, new animals in the environment, or even new additions to their home. What can be done once your cat accidentally or purposely urinates in your home? Finding the perfect solution for removing cat urine is difficult but we are going to discuss the key steps to implement to completely remove cat urine odor.

Why Is My Cat Peeing in My House?

There can be several reasons as to why your cat is spreading their urine throughout your home, rather than in their litter box. Some owners may conclude their cat is peeing outside their litter box because they are “acting-up” for some reason. But the likely motive for this unfortunate odor mess is that your cat is trying to tell you something. The first thing you need to do is to rule any medical problems your cat may be suffering from, these medical issues can include a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and feline lower urinary tract disease. After you have ruled out any medical issues, the next area to focus on is behavioral. A cat’s behavior can change and lead to the urinary issues. This can sometimes be a very easy fix such as adding additional litter boxes around the home, scooping frequently to remove waste, or moving their litter box to a new area in the home.

Cat Urinary Problems

A major issue commonly associated with cat urine accidents in the home is cat spraying. While some cats squat and urinate on bare floors, carpets, furniture, and other horizontal surfaces, others will spray urine on vertical surfaces around the home. Spraying is usually associated with unfixed males that spray to mark their territory, and unfixed females that spray to let tomcats know they are ready to mate. To avoid the potential of spraying from occurring, it is suggested that male cats are neutered, and female cats sprayed at six months.

How to Get Rid of Cat Urine Odor in House

People often say that cat urine is the worst, an odor that will permeate throughout a space quickly and completely. After a cat urinates, acting quickly is necessary, as the longer the cat pee sits, the worst the problem becomes inside your home. Bacteria will build-up, and the urine can seep deep-down into the surface. What can be done to clean up the cat urine from the surface? Well, before you start working your way through deodorization methods that you believe to be effective, you may want to read below because there are several cleaning methods that should be avoided when deodorizing and cleaning the cat urine odor, these methods include the following:

• Bleach: One of the first cleaning items that we will grab for after a cat urine accident occurs is bleach. However, bleach is unable to kill the odor of cat urine. Bleach disinfects, rather than eliminates the odor leaving your home’s air to continue to reek of cat urine smell. Also, this cleaning agent is harmful to breathe in and can be toxic to pets.
• Ammonia: Ammonia is a cleaning agent that you do not want to use to clean cat urine. Why is that? This is because cat urine has an ammonia odor, therefore adding ammonia will just make it smell worst. Also, be sure never to mix bleach and ammonia together, it is a very dangerous mixture to human exposure.
• Vinegar/ Baking Soda: Common household items such as vinegar and baking soda can work to help eliminate the odor, but it will not eliminate the smell completely.
