How to Neutralize Cat Urine?

Blot up as much urine as possible with paper towels or a clean cloth

Rinse the area with cool water

Apply an enzymatic cleaner made for pet urine

Let the cleaner sit for the full recommended time

Blot or air-dry the area completely

Repeat the enzymatic treatment if odor remains

For hard surfaces, wash with mild soap and water after cleaning

For carpets and upholstery, test any cleaner on a hidden spot first

Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners

Avoid steam cleaning until the odor is fully removed

Wash washable fabrics in cold water with an enzyme detergent

Add white vinegar to the wash if appropriate for the fabric

Sprinkle baking soda on dry, odor-free areas to help absorb residual smell

Vacuum up baking soda after several hours

Replace or clean items that cannot be fully deodorized

Clean the litter box regularly to prevent repeat marking

Use an odor neutralizer designed for pet stains if needed
