Urine Odor Removal in 5 Easy Steps



For anyone who has owned a pet, cracking the secret that is urine odor removal may seem like an unachievable task. What products should you use? Should you scrub or blot? How can you get rid of that lingering odor once the stain is gone?

The Secret to Urine Odor Removal in 5 Steps

  1. Determine the type of surface or fabric that requires cleaning. Carpet and other porous materials can trap odors and stains and make them difficult to remove.
  2. Determine how fresh the stain is. The sooner you get to a urine stain, the easier it will be to clean. If the stain is fresh, begin by blotting it with a paper towel or clean washcloth. If the stain is old, pour a small amount of cold water on the spot and spray enzyme cleaner over the area.
  3. Blot, blot, blot. Continue blotting the area and adding water as needed until all traces of the urine stain are gone.
  4. Apply a towel to absorb the cleaner. Once you feel that the stain has been removed, lay a dry clean towel over the affected area and press down to absorb excess water and cleaning fluid.
  5. Evaluate the severity of the situation. Cleaning the home of a person who owns 1, 2, even 3 pets that have occasional accidents on the floor is one thing. Cleaning the home of a person who compulsively collects animals is quite another. The urine odor in the home of an animal hoarder is often overwhelming and can breed bacteria if not properly remediated.
