    Natures Miricle...it has enzymes to break up the wee. Cat pee is different it’s oil based, not water waste. That’s why you need the enzymes. Soak the area well, cover with plastic one gallon size ice cream bucket lid or plastic wrap. This will keep the cleaner doing it’s thing, and will remind you not to step there.

    Try spraying the area with one part white vinegar and one part water. Then mix a teaspoon of clear, mild, nonbleach laundry detergent into 4 cups of water and apply to the stain. Rinse with clear water and then press a clean cloth over the area to absorb the water. Repeat these steps until the spot is gone.

    I always just use straight vinegar, it can cut oily things and also deodorizes, taking away the cat urine horrible smell. The odor may take a couple of tries, but should do the trick. Check whatever surface you as cleaning to make sure that whatever you are cleaning with won't harm the finish, texture or color.

    I use a pet enzyme cleaner to remove the urine and deodorize. I get the Jackson Galaxy Pet Stain and Odor Elminator in the tablets, works so much better than the stuff you get already mixed, much better odor removal..... https://www.amazon.com/Jackson-Strength-Eliminator-Fizzion-Tablets/dp/B07D42BXNF/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1536369930&sr=8-6&keywords=jackson+galaxy+pet+stain+and+odor+eliminator+by+fizzion this will last you more than a year even with the naughtiest cat.

    I used this for all my clients pet accidents, and if the cat is spraying you will need the black light flashlight, cause the urine floresces in the dark, so your sure to get it all.... https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_15?url=search-alias%3Dpets&field-keywords=cat+urine+black+light+detector&sprefix=cat+urine+black%2Cpets%2C221&crid=1SAHU28819F3O

    I've never been able to totally get rid of it forever!

    I've usually painted over it

    If it is on something that you can put into a washing machine, use regular detergent and hot water. Put Nature’s Miracle in the fabric softener receptacle and run a regular cycle. Leave the items sitting in the machine overnight and then air dry or put them in the dryer. This works for duffle bags, gym shoes and towels

    Sorry for chiming in a bit late to the discussion mate, but I really feel like I need to add my 2 cents.


    Cats don't just pee on floors and beds because they're in pain - could be a multitude of other reasons! Most common is that male cats feel the need to mark their territory.


    As for myself, I finally found something that works for the cat pee smell in my home! A herbal mixture of sorts! I now recommend it to everyone because it works so freakin' well and we save SOO much money!


    You should definitely check it out, we don't even buy Odorban and the likes any longer :)


    What a relief to finally have gotten rid of the horrible cat pee smell, and for a decent price as well.


    Registered an account only to say this:


    One of my 2 cats (both neutered males) had taken to painting all of my walls, furniture, and anything else he could reach. I was horrified when I got a UV light. He never did that in all of the 9 years I've had him and didn't when I got him a buddy (they love each other and did so right away) but when a strange black cat started showing up outside both of my cats went nuts and the older one (9) started his wall painting, as well as the curtains out in the kitty room. I couldn't keep up with it.


    My cats are indoor cats so it's not like the stray is actually going to get in here but they both hate him (and he is weird...my neighbor's cats hate him too). I've tried cleaning with a pet urine enzyme and then spraying some "No More Spraying" but that hasn't worked.


    He's a sneaky little bugger too; he waits until he thinks I'm not looking and then does it. He's learned that the minute I see him backing his butt up to something he gets yelled at. It wasn't until I found "Cat Spraying No More" that I was able to finally get rid of this tiresome behavior. Now my house doesn't smell like a litter box anymore :)


    To be honest, I don't know too much more about it so I did a quick Google search and here's a description of the spray with a long review as well: http://12.nomorecatpee.com


    No I have not been paid for this post nor do I make any commissions off of it. I really just want to help you guys out. I hope you don't mind.


    I'm based in Sweden, by the way, so you should be able to get it too.


    Good luck with the odor! It really lowers your quality of life, doesn't it?
