How to remove cat urine smell?
The cat peed randomly again. Before solving the problem of messy urine, the smell of cat urine is really frustrating! And it's very stubborn. No matter how much perfume and disinfectant are sprayed, the air is filled with a faintly sour smell. If you try to cover the smell of cat urine with disinfectant or perfume, it would be too stupid. Because these odorous liquids can only cover up for a short period of time, they cannot eliminate the decomposition of urine, and sometimes produce a strange smell of scent.
Cat urine is mainly composed of these components: urea, urobilin/urobilinogen, uric acid, sodium, creatinine, pheromone, other electrolytes, bacteria-usually 5 different strains. When cat urine is dry, it will be broken down by bacteria, making it smell like ammonia. With further decomposition, mercaptans are released that make the smell worse. Among them, urea, urobilin/urobilinogen, creatinine and pheromone are water-soluble, and can be removed by traditional household cleaning agents or cleaning methods such as baking soda and white vinegar. However, these methods do not work for the uric acid in the urine! The main enemy that keeps the smell of urine for a long time is it. Uric acid is insoluble in water and can be tightly combined with any contact surface. It is because uric acid causes cat urine to have a half-life of 6 years.
So how to deal with cat urine smell?
Like almost all stains, no matter what the material is, the key is to erase fast. If you can erase as much pee as possible from the first appearance, then you are halfway through. Next, apply a detergent containing biological enzymes. Protease molecules can effectively decompose uric acid in urine and make it evaporate, so that it is possible to completely or try to eliminate the smell of urine.
