Do you need to know how to clean cat urine? Anyone who has owned an inside cat understands that knowing how to clean cat urine is part of the package. Unfortunately, over-the-counter products as well as products purchased from a veterinarian’s office or online merely mask the odor of cat urine. Since the Ancient Egyptians first domesticated the cat some 4,000 years ago, cat owners have been subjected to the wrinkled noses of guests, and the knowledge that their homes smelled like cat.

Cleaning Cat Urine Is Easier Said than Done

In animals, urine is used to mark the animal’s territory. In order to do its job properly, cat urine requires a strong odor. For an outside cat, that’s not much of a problem, but it can be a serious problem when the cat resides inside your home.

When cat owners do their best to give their cats everything they could possibly want, food, water, snacks, treats and toys, and are rewarded with urine on the carpet, a natural feeling of disillusionment follows.

Cat urine is made up of three ingredients:

• Urea, the sticky component
• Urochrome, which gives the urine it’s amber color
• Uric acid, the crystals that carry the scent

Desperate cat owners will go to any length to remove the odor of cat urine from their homes. Unfortunately, most products can remove the first two ingredients in cat urine, but uric acid is almost impossible to remove. Even the products that contain enzymes billed as urine eaters do not work as effectively as one might believe.
