cat urine on sofaGet Cat Urine Odor Out Of Sofa

So the cat peed on your sofa. You mopped it up as best as you could, you may have even used some cleaner that you boought, or even used some homemade remedy or just a regular cleaner...

 

 

 

 

 

But...

Your couch still smells. What to do? How to get that cat urine odor out?

OK, so let's look at this from a practical perspective. Obviously it is hard to clean the sofa because rinsing it is not an easy job. You may dab on the surface with a cleaner but what about the urine that soaked deeply into the cushions?

There are 2 issues here.

  • You have not adequately cleaned the spots you are aware of, and:
  • There are urine stains on places unknown to you.

Finding every stain is really important not only so that they can be cleaned and to remove the cat urine smell, but also to eliminate the cat urine completely which will reduce the chance of Kitty re-offending.

As long as there is even a trace of cat urine smell remaining, your cat is likely to urinate on the same spot again.
