If your cat is like my cat Jessy when we first bought her, you are probably suffering from a cat problem. That is, your cat has decided to use your favorite floor or furniture as a litter tray and you are looking for a home remedy for the smell of cat urine.
There is something very different about the smell of cat urine. It’s very powerful and you immediately know when you walk into a room if a cat has urinated. Unfortunately for you, if not treated correctly, the odor can linger for weeks. This is unsanitary and very embarrassing when friends show up!
Fortunately, there are some home remedies for cat urine that will work in the short term to get rid of the stink. Before trying any home remedies, you should soak up as much urine as possible to make sure it doesn’t seep deep into your carpet, concrete, or furniture.
A widely used home remedy is to place an onion in the affected area. The onion will absorb odors, leaving no onion odor. Another option is to apply a mint mouthwash, being careful not to stain or ruin rugs or furniture with this method. Another option some cat owners use is to mix baking soda or baking soda with a touch of vinegar to clean and mask the odor. Once again, watch out for stains.
