Nothing can ruin a carpet quite like cat urine. If not treated quickly and correctly, your carpet can become your cat’s new permanent litter box. If your cat has an accident on the carpet the faster you can treat it, the better.
If the urine is fresh and not yet dry, liberally cover the affected area with regular cornstarch. If the urine has dried already, simply wet the area down using lukewarm water and let it sit for a few minutes before applying the cornstarch. Next, press the cornstarch into the carpet using your hand or the bottom of a Tupperware container. The cornstarch will begin to pull the urine out of the carpet.
Let the cornstarch sit for an hour or so, or until it turns yellow and crusty. When it hardens, you can vacuum up the cornstarch. You will then want to treat the carpet with an odor absorbing carpet deodorizing powder. It’s important to keep the cat away from the area while you are treating it. The smell of urine could entice cat to repeat the offense.
You can repeat this process if you have an extra stubborn stain, or if you can’t get rid of the odor on the first try.
Can you still smell cat urine but don’t know where it’s coming from? Cat urine glows when viewed under a black light. A small investment in a black light can save you hours of frustration trying to locate hiding cat urine, and it could save you money on professional carpet cleaning or carpet replacement.
