The smell of a cat is associated with urine. It is not so easy to get rid of an unpleasant odor in the house.
How long does the smell of a cat last in the house
As a rule, for the smell to spread throughout the apartment, urine stains in the apartment must have been present for a very long time - more than six months.
This is also why experts do not recommend trying to eliminate the smell using various means for more than 2-3 months.
How to get rid of cat smell in the house
If you have old cat urine stains in your home that won't come off, use hydrogen peroxide 3%.
Pour hydrogen peroxide over the stains and leave for 10 hours.
After this, the stain should be washed with a wet cloth and soap, rinsed with water and dried.
Thanks to this method, the unpleasant smell of cat urine should go away.
In addition, another available remedy for eliminating the smell of cat urine is lemon juice or citric acid.
To cleanse, apply freshly squeezed lemon juice or citric acid solution to the urine stain and leave for 1-4 hours.
Before this, the surface or item can be washed with soap.
In addition, you can use baking soda, vinegar solution, and alcohol to eliminate the unpleasant odor from your cat.
You can refresh the smell of your apartment using essential oils of lavender, pine needles, mint, tea tree, and citrus.
Also, try to wet clean the house and ventilate the rooms as often as possible.
