When cat urine seeps through carpet, into padding and down to
the floor beneath, it can give your home an unpleasant aroma (to
say the very least!). In almost all cases, cat urine is the
worst perpetrator of pet stains and pet odors. If you own a cat,
it's important for you to know how to clean cat urine stains.
The color of cat urine and its staining potential will often
depend on dietary habits, age and sex of the cat, whether the
cat is on medication, and the health of the cat. Urine can
saturate absorbent materials such as carpet and padding,
upholstery and mattresses well beyond the surface area that can
effectively be cleaned. It is extremely difficult to remove all
of the urine from inside of these materials. Even after a
thorough cleaning, stains and odors often remain.
