If you are a cat owner than you probably know how bad the smell of cat urine can actually be. If you have been searching for ways to get rid of the cat urine smell there are several different methods that you can try. Most people will probably give you various options when it comes to removing the cat odor form your floor. I have found however that there is one thing that has been proven to work and surprisingly enough not too many people use it.

All you need is a disposable cloth and some bleach. Make sure that no one else including the at is in the room when you are cleaning the floor. Obviously you only want to use the bleach if you are cleaning a linoleums or hardwood floor, never on carpeted areas. You don't want to just dump a ton of bleach on the spot. What you first want to do is place some bleach into a spray bottle. About half the bottle is a good amount. This way you will always have enough handy just in case your cat decides to use your floor as a litter box once again. Do not place any water in the bottle with the bleach. It is best to use one hundred percent bleach in order to get the odor to go away.

Then you can spray a very small amount of bleach on the spot where the ursine was located. If the stain has been there for a while you may need to let the bleach sit on the stained area for a few minutes. Use the cloth that you have to gently rub the bleach around the spot for about one minute. Then use another cloth and soak with water. Then wipe down the area with the watered down cloth. Allow it to dry and you are all done. One reason why the bleach works so well on the floor is because it not only gets rid of the horrible smell immediately but it also disinfects the area. Another benefit is that the odor left behind from the bleach will deter your cat from revisiting that spot again. Just make sure that after you have cleaned and rinsed the area you allow it to fully dry before letting one back into the room.

Did You Know?
Of course you can always purchase some of the store bought urine cleaners, but I have found that many of them smell just as bad as the urine smell.

I learned that one yesterday. I know better than to mix bleach and ammonia, but not thinking, I was in a hurry and pored straight bleach (usually I dilute it) on some dried cat pee. There was tons of bubble and the most horrible odor. I turned on the fan and opened window, and hopefully did not do any seroius damage to my lungs. I

be careful using bleach on cat urine. cat urine contains ammonia. When bleach and ammonia are mixed, toxic fumes are produced.
