Why is it important to properly remove cat urine odor?

Not only can the smell of cat urine be very strong and unpleasant, but if you don't completely remove the odor, it can also lead to health problems for you and your family. This is because cat urine contains bacteria and allergens. In addition, cats tend to pee in the same spot repeatedly if the smell of cat urine isn't completely removed.

In addition, urine particles also get under floor tiles and behind walls, where the odor settles. These so-called urine deposits must be removed thoroughly. Otherwise, the unpleasant smell of cat urine will be noticeable to both humans and cats for a long time.

Therefore, it's important to completely eliminate the smell. This is how you can easily and permanently remove cat urine.

Why does cat urine smell so strong?

Cat urine has such a strong odor due to certain proteins and high ammonia content. When the urine dries in the air, these proteins decompose and create an unpleasant odor. The urine of unneutered male cats is particularly odorous because it also contains sex pheromones .

When does cat urine stop smelling?

The proteins and ammonia in cat urine linger for a long time. Stains on the sofa or carpet often still smell after several months. The only way to stop cat urine from stinking is to properly clean the affected area. The miracle cure for this is the Bactador Cat Litter Box Odor Remover, tried and tested a million times over. You can spray it onto both the litter box and the entire cat's surrounding area. Thanks to the high-quality microbiological ingredients, the extreme odor is truly eliminated permanently, as the source of the odor is eliminated deep down.

Pheromones in cat urine

Cat urine contains pheromones, or natural scents. Your cat uses these to communicate with other cats without facial expressions or gestures. Cats use the pheromones in urine to mark their territory. It's important to properly remove this scent. Otherwise, it could encourage your cat to urinate in the same spot again.

Pheromones in urine also create a feeling of relaxation and well-being when looking for a partner. They therefore have a stress-relieving effect.

Is your cat stressed and you want to help it relax? And do it naturally without pheromones? Then try Felisept . Natural, genuine catnip (Nepeta cataria) helps your cat calm down and regain balance. You can use Felisept for more than just scratching and biting, urine marking, and anxiety.

Tensions and conflicts in multi-cat households can also be resolved. Furthermore, socialization, playfulness, and your cat's well-being are naturally encouraged.

How do you get rid of the smell of cat urine?

To get rid of the smell of cat urine, the problem must be addressed at its root. Cat urine cannot simply be removed superficially and the smell simply masked, as is the case with home remedies or chemicals. With the high-quality Bactador microbiology, the urine is removed down to the deepest, finest pores, truly permanently.

Special tips for smooth floors

You can also remove cat urine from smooth floors, such as laminate, tiles, and wood, with our Bactador Cat Litter Box Odor Remover . Alternatively, you can also use our Bactador Odor and Stain Remover Concentrate for mopping. Use Bactador instead of any other mopping products and mix the concentrate with water in the specified ratio.

By the way: With our Bactador microbiology, you can remove more than just cat urine odors. You can simply use the concentrate regularly for wiping, for example, and it will also remove other odors, such as general pet odors, vomit, or saliva in the home and around pets.

Special tips for washable textiles

If your washable textiles, e.g. your clothes, pillows, blankets or removable covers of the scratching post smell of cat urine, there is a tried and tested tip:

Use Bactador Laundry Rinse. The popular Bactador Laundry Rinse is specially formulated to permanently remove strong odors like cat urine, vomit, or feces from your laundry. Simply add it to the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine along with the detergent.

Before washing, check the washing temperature instructions on your fabrics. The good news is: Bactador Laundry Rinse is suitable for all washing temperatures. Just don't tumble dry the laundry afterward to ensure the microbiological ingredients remain active.

What to do if the cat urine has already dried?

It's no problem if the cat urine has already dried! You can simply spray the area with our Bactador Cat Litter Box Odor Remover or wipe it with the Bactador Odor and Stain Remover Concentrate . Then dry the area thoroughly and let the Bactador microbiology work. If the odor is still slightly present after 24 hours, you can repeat the process.

Special cleaning products: Enzyme cleaner against cat urine odor

There are special cleaning products available for removing cat urine. Enzyme cleaners are often used. Conventional enzyme cleaners contain artificial, synthetic enzymes designed for specific cleaning tasks. However, these products cannot permanently remove odors.

With our Bactador microbiology, things are different. While the Bactador cat litter box odor remover can also be classified as an enzyme cleaner, Bactador contains probiotic microorganisms that produce enzymes. These break down dirt and odor particles until the source of the odor is neutralized deep down and thus permanently removed. This way, you can truly permanently remove the smell of cat urine.

Home remedies for cat urine smell: Do they really work?

Soap and vinegar cleaners, alcohol, mouthwash, citrus fruits, baking soda, activated charcoal—the list of home remedies touted online as the secret weapon against cat urine is long. Some cat parents also resort to chemical cleaners. However, these products only remove the urine superficially and merely mask the odor. After a short time, the persistent cat urine odor can be detected again. Furthermore, some so-called home remedies can even be harmful to your cat.

Most household remedies also lead to unsightly edges, e.g. on your carpet or sofa, or bleach the fabric.

But don't worry! With our products, you can not only permanently remove the smell of cat urine. The Bactador microbiology is also suitable for both animals and humans and dermatologically certified "very good." This is how you can remove the smell of cat urine .

Which cleaning product for cat urine?

Only special cleaning agents can combat cat urine, as otherwise the persistent odor is only temporarily masked. Bactador microbiology truly removes the cat urine odor from many surfaces and various materials, permanently and deeply. Whether as a spray , concentrate , or rinse .

Why does my cat pee in my apartment?

There can be several reasons why your cat pees in the house. Stress, health problems, or a sudden change in their environment can lead to this behavior. It's important to determine the exact cause. Only then can you find the right solution.

If you notice the smell of cat urine, you can easily remove it permanently with Bactador Microbiology. However, it's always a good idea to take preventative measures to avoid such situations.

5 Tips for Preventing Cat Urine Odor in the Future

  1. Have your cat examined by a veterinarian regularly. Frequent or strong-smelling urination may indicate health problems.
  2. Pay attention to your cat's diet. This can have a significant impact on the smell of their urine, as some foods can make their urine smell stronger.
  3. Encourage your cat to drink more. This can help dilute the urine and reduce the odor.
  4. Train your cat properly. A well-trained cat will be less likely to urinate outside the litter box.
  5. Always keep the litter box clean. Cats prefer a clean environment, and if their litter box isn't clean, they'll look for another place.

Our tip for unpleasant-smelling litter boxes: Spray the litter box regularly with our Bactador Cat Litter Odor Remover . This also extends the shelf life of the cat litter.

When should I see a veterinarian?

If you notice that your cat's urine has an unusually strong odor, this could indicate a health problem. Signs of illness can include frequent urination, blood in the urine, or visible pain when urinating. In these cases, you should consult a veterinarian immediately.

Sometimes a change in diet can also change the smell of the urine. If you're unsure, it's always best to consult a professional. Remember that early treatment is often the best solution to maintain your cat's health.

Conclusion

  • If cat urine isn't thoroughly removed, it can lead to renewed territorial marking, especially in multi-cat households.
  • Conventional enzyme cleaners contain artificial, synthetic enzymes that cannot permanently remove odors.
  • Household remedies and chemicals do not clean deeply and lastingly, which is why the residues are only covered for a short time and then continue to stink permanently.
  • Bactador Microbiology truly removes cat urine permanently and deeply from many surfaces and materials. Whether as a concentrate, spray, or rinse.
  • Proper nutrition and regular litter box cleaning can prevent cat urine in the home. A veterinary checkup can rule out disease.

This way your home will stay truly odor-free!
