Blot up fresh urine immediately with paper towels; avoid rubbing
Wash affected fabrics (bedding, blankets, washable covers) in hot water with an enzymatic pet urine cleaner
For carpet/upholstery, saturate the area with an enzymatic cleaner; keep it wet for the full dwell time on the label
After dwell time, blot and allow to fully dry
If odor remains, repeat with an enzymatic cleaner and re-blot
Use an enzymatic cleaner labeled for cat urine (not just deodorizer)
For hard floors, scrub with enzymatic cleaner, then rinse if the product label allows
For sealed surfaces, clean with enzymatic cleaner first; then rinse/neutralize per label directions
Remove and clean affected padding if urine soaked through; treat both carpet and pad with enzymatic cleaner
If urine is old and deeply embedded, use a carpet extractor after enzymatic treatment (only if label allows)
Sprinkle baking soda after the area is dry to help absorb residual odor; vacuum thoroughly
Avoid ammonia-based cleaners (they can attract cats back to the same spot)
Avoid vinegar as a sole solution for urine odor (use enzymatic cleaner instead)
Prevent re-soiling by blocking access to the spot and cleaning any surrounding traces
Use a blacklight UV lamp to find hidden urine spots; treat each spot with enzymatic cleaner
If the smell persists after repeated enzymatic cleaning, consider professional deep cleaning or replacing severely soaked materials
