Cat urine has a strong and persistent smell due to ammonia, urea, and proteins that undergo a chemical reaction when drying. Many cleaning products only mask the odor instead of breaking it down.
Common mistakes include using chlorine, bleach, all-purpose cleaners, or vinegar, and not cleaning deeply enough, causing the odor to linger in floors, grout, or textiles.
The right approach: Use an enzymatic odor remover such as UF2000 4Pets by Ecodor, which breaks down odor molecules at a molecular level and is safe for humans and pets.
Step-by-step guide:
Blot excess urine with paper towels.
Apply UF2000 generously to the affected area.
Let the product work for at least 24 hours and air dry.
Repeat if necessary.
Why does a cat urinate outside the litter box? Possible reasons include a dirty or inaccessible litter box, stress, changes in the home, or medical issues such as bladder infections or kidney problems. If in doubt, consult a veterinarian.
