Remove cat urine from carpet – permanently neutralize odor

Cat urine on carpets is a common problem that poses unique challenges when it comes to odor and stains. Carpet fibers absorb urine like a sponge, the liquid penetrates into deeper layers and the urine can even seep through the carpet into the screed underneath, which can cause long-term damage and mold growth.

Immediate measures for fresh cat urine on carpets

When it comes to fresh cat urine, every minute counts. Immediately absorb the liquid with kitchen paper without rubbing. Then the following home remedies are available:

• Vinegar solution: Mix vinegar and water in a ratio of 1:3, apply, leave to act for a few minutes, pat dry
• Baking soda: Apply generously, leave to act for several hours, then vacuum
• Hydrogen peroxide: Only for colorfast carpets – test in an invisible area first

SMELL OFF MICROB DUO combines a powerful cleaning formula with biological components that break down odors at the molecular level.
