You may love your cat most of the time, but there are times that you may get really upset with them and wonder why you ever got a cat, especially when you sit down on your couch and realize that they have peed on it. While that may show that you have a sick cat or one who is really mad at you, those are things that you will have to worry about at another time. Right now, you have to worry about how to get rid of the smell on your furniture. That's because they will continue to pee in the same spot over and over unless you can clean it up. So, what can you do?

Enzymatic Cleaners

One thing that you can do is to use a cleaner that is designed to handle pet urine smell. Those cleaners generally have enzymes in them that can break down the chemical markers that cause the smell and that will attract your cat to keep peeing in the same place. Usually, you have to get to get to the spot as soon as possible, but cleaning off the spot, even if it is dried, will do some good. If you are able to catch the spot while it's still fresh, then you want to first make sure that you soak up as much urine as possible. Use paper towels or rags that you are willing to throw away. When you have done that, then you can follow the directions on the cleaner and work on that spot. 

Home Remedies

There are several things that you can use that you already have around the house. One of the ingredients is baking soda, used for several reasons including the fact that baking soda acts like a deodorizer. It can soak up the smell and help get rid of it. Make sure that you soak up the urine and then put some baking soda on the spot and let it sit. Then spray it with a mix of water and vinegar and let that sit for a while. Once you have let that sit for a while, start cleaning it up, and hopefully the smell will go away. You could also spray it with a mix of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap. The H2O2 will help break down the organic parts of the urine and get rid of the smell. 

You can love your cat and still be really frustrated that they peed on your furniture. If everything you have tried doesn't get rid of the smell, you can always work with a professional company like Steam-All Restoration to clean your upholstery.
