Having a pet is great, but the smells are not. This article comes from Good House Keeping.
How to Get Rid of That Cat Pee Smell on Carpets
When you notice a not-so-pleasant surprise in your house, work quickly to remove the stain and smell.
Carpet
An enzyme-based cleaner is your best bet for cleaning carpets and area rugs. Before using, soak up — don’t wipe! — as much of the stain matter as you can with a paper towel or rag.
Spray the product (which also removes stains and smells from feces, vomit, and blood, FYI) on the trouble spot until the area is thoroughly saturated.
Gently rub the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove as much of the stain as possible.
Cover the spot with a damp towel and let sit for up to 12 hours.
Upholstery
If the cushion covers are washable, stick them in the wash ASAP or take them to the dry cleaner.
For stains that have set into the sofa cushions, use an enzyme-based cleaner and follow the same steps above.
If worst comes to worst, call J & R’s to deep steam your couch cushions and pillows to remove the odor.
Ceramic Tile
Unless the urine has spread to the grout, you simply wipe up the mess with a paper towel and clean with a tile cleaner.
If the tile isn’t glazed or the liquid has spread to the grout, use a kitchen and bath cleaner to remove discoloration.
To remove odor, make a thick paste with water and baking soda, rub into the grout, and wipe once dry.
Pet odors can be a tricky thing to remove from your carpets, upholstery, or tiles, but it is important because the smell will linger for a long time if you don’t act quickly.
