This is a great article with great tips. However, it is also a lot of hard work. Having 4 cats, trust me I know first hand the horrible stink of cat urine. I have one cat that is getting old and doesn’t always make it to the litter box. I clean the area as best as I can, but as you all know it doesn’t get rid of the smell.

I work for a cat shelter, and recently someone donated an air freshening system that has been a total God-send. It kills the odors and has a very mild scent — we have the “christmas” scent, smells like a forest, basically. There’s a dial so you can control the strength of the scent. The company is Air Q. Check it out.

I have tried everything including White vinegar when my upset cat kept using our sofas as a toilet, on my last trip to myvets with our new kitten they had a product called Wee-away. I removed all my sofa cushions washed them but spayed the solution down the foam on each side of the seat cushion and let it dry. The smell as vanished it was £5.99 a bottle.

I have found that Borax used with baking soda and any good laundry detergent works to remove cat urine odor from just about anything that can be laundered, either by hand or in a machine. You might have to allow the articles to soak for a couple of hours, but it is rare that I have had to wash anything twice. I have successfully done this with towels, throw rugs, couch cushion covers, and soft luggage. However, one of my cats (if I knew which, he or she might be booted out) has recently urinated on my favorite unique and very expensive recliner, and, since I can not launder that (I have thrown out the cushion padding) I am still trying to eliminate the stink. I tried the KOE mentioned by Crystal (April 2008), but it did not work. Maybe I needed to make a stronger solution.
