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.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Put on some rubber gloves.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Blot the stain and any remaining liquid with damp and folded paper towels, applying gentle and steady pressure.

  4. Step 4

    Sponge the area with a specialized bacteria/enzyme digester such as Outright Pet Odor Eliminator, following the directions suggested on the label.

  5. Step 5

    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.

  6. Step 6

    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.
