Sometimes the pleasure of owning a pet comes along with the joy of cleaning up after it. Here's how to handle what your cat leaves behind.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Put on some rubber gloves.
Step2
Remove any solid feces either by picking it up with paper towels or a plastic bag or by gently brushing it into a dustpan or wastebasket. Be careful not to push it further into the fabric.
Step3
Blot the stain and any remaining liquid with damp and folded paper towels, applying gentle and steady pressure.
Step4
Sponge the area with a specialized bacteria/enzyme digester such as Outright Pet Odor Eliminator, following the directions suggested on the label.
Step5
Cover the affected area with a plastic bag to help the digester stay moist. Leave the digester in for several hours or the time recommended on the digester's label.
Step6
Sponge the affected area with carpet shampoo if any stains remain.

Tips & Warnings

  • Treating the stain as soon as possible gives you the best chance of completely removing the stain.
  • If you have any doubts or concerns about the stain removing liquid you will be using, we recommend you try it on an inconspicuous section of your furniture first.
