The main ways to remove the odor of cat urine are to choose cat litter that absorbs more odor, clean the cat litter box in time, use white vinegar and 84 disinfectant, and use beer to remove the odor of cat urine. In addition, you can also give your cat more water to dilute the concentration of the cat's urine, so that the taste of the cat's urine will also be diluted. If the cat often urinates everywhere, you should also pay attention to whether the cat has other urinary abnormalities, seek medical treatment in time, and then solve the problem from the root cause. For example, if the cat urinates everywhere because of estrus, you need to go to a pet hospital for sterilization surgery.

1. Choose a more odor-absorbent cat litter

If the smell of cat urine in the cat litter is relatively strong, the owner can choose to change the cat's litter to a more odor-absorbent cat litter, or in the cat litter Add a certain amount of activated carbon to the litter, and pine cat litter and tofu cat litter are both better choices. In addition, you can also buy some cat urine deodorants, cat urine decomposers, cat urine covering agents and other items, but the overall effect is not so ideal.

2. Clean the cat litter box promptly

The smell of cat urine is very strong. If the owner does not clean it in time, the smell of cat urine will become stronger as time goes by. Therefore, when a cat is found urinating, the owner should clean it up in time.

3. Use white vinegar and 84 disinfectant

If the smell of cat urine on the floor at home is too severe and stubborn, the owner can spray white vinegar on the place where the cat has peed to eliminate the smell. Then use 84 disinfectant to mop and disinfect the floor. For the smell of urine on the bed or clothes, you can also put a ratio of water and vinegar in a spray bottle, spray the spray bottle on the areas with urine stains and odors, and then throw them into the washing machine for normal cleaning.

4. Use beer to remove the odor of cat urine

The special molecules when beer evaporates can neutralize the odor, so the owner can first wipe the area where the cat has peed with clean water. Then pour some more beer, wait for the beer to evaporate for a while, and then wipe the floor clean with a mop. If it doesn't work once, you can wipe it several times to remove the cat urine.

5. Remove cat urine from the source

First of all, it is recommended to ensure that the cat drinks enough water every day. Only when the amount of drinking water is sufficient can the cat’s urine be sufficiently diluted. The smell of cat urine is greatly reduced. If your cat doesn’t like to drink water, it is recommended to feed it some canned food, vegetables and other foods in moderation. Secondly, if the cat urinates everywhere because of estrus, it can be done after the estrus is over.Then he was taken to a pet hospital for sterilization surgery. If the urination is caused by resentment against the owner, you need to improve the relationship with the cat.
