Many people love their indoor cats, but nobody likes the cat urine smells and stains that they sometimes leave behind. Only a high-quality cat urine remover will truly get rid of that rancid smell. Regular stain removers will not---they will only mask it. There are many different types of cat urine removers, so how do you select the best one? There are five things you must keep in mind when shopping for a cat urine remover.

    How to Select a Cat Urine Remover

  1. Step 1

    Select only unscented cat urine removers. You want to remove an odor, not cover it up. Urine removers that have fragrance will only cover the odor for a few hours. Once the fragrance fades, the urine smell will remain.

  2. Step 2

    Select a cat urine remover that is easy to apply. Do not choose a product that requires extensive vacuuming and a long process. You want something that you spray, wait a while and spray again if need be.

  3. Step 3

    Select a nontoxic cat urine remover. Do not purchase a remover that contains harmful toxins that will be around you, your family and your pet. You do not want to breathe in toxic fumes that could harm you.

  4. Step 4

    Select a bacteria/enzyme urine remover. Select a cat urine remover that clearly states that it eliminates bacteria and uric acid crystals. These are what cause the smell to linger, so you definitely want a product that gets rid of them.

  5. Step 5

    Select a cat urine remover with a guarantee. A product that guarantees removal of everything the cat urine caused is more likely to perform what it says. Otherwise, customers would complain of false claims and give the company a bad reputation.

Tips & Warnings
  • Purchase a cat urine remover online if you cannot find one in stores.
  • The older your cat urine stain is, the more difficult it will be to remove.
