How to Remove Cat Urine & Odor from Carpets using Baking Soda

This is an easy, inexpensive, green way to eliminate cat urine and odor from carpets. It is very easy and does require a little patience, but so worth the effort! Even after having the carpets professionally cleaned, when it would get humid in the house I could smell the urine that had been in the carpet. This is no longer a problem and it also lifted out the stain from the urine.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baking Soda
• Spray bottle
• Paper towels
• Vacuum Cleaner

1. If it is a fresh (not yet dried) soaking of cat urine, blot with paper towel. Remove as much of the urine as possible. If necessary stand on paper towels to absorb as much urine as possible.

2. Mist the area with water from a spray bottle. This includes if the area has been dried already. You want it to be damp. The moisture will help draw the urine out of the carpet.

3. Sprinkle baking soda over entire area. You want a good layer - don't be stingy!

4. Let dry. As the carpet and baking soda dries you will notice that the baking soda turns yellow. This is pulling the urine into the baking soda.

5. Once completely dry, vacuum area well.

6. Repeat the process until the baking soda stays white. It make take 2-3 times. But the stain and the smell will be gone. Even when it gets humid out!

Tips & Warnings

• Please remember to let area dry thoroughly before vacuuming.
• If urine has been dried you may have to repeat 4-5 times, depending how much urine there was.
