If you are here, then you are wondering how to get rid of cat urine smell. Cat pee smell is a strong odor that is hard to remove. So, this post will show you how to remove the odor for good with a Homeright steam machine.

How to Get Rid of Cat Urine Smell
Cat pee smell has a strong urine odor. Cat urine is odorless, but when it transfers through the kidney's under normal circumstances, it becomes concentrated and comes out with a strong ammonia smell. It doesn't take much urine for the smell to be intense. If your cats urine is strong and they are urinating outside of the liter box or in areas they should it can be an indicator that something is wrong. Take them to the vet just to make sure they are well.Locate the Cat Urine
If you start smelling the cat urine odor begin by finding where your kitty has gone. Typically they will go in the same spot over and over.

Clean up the Urine
Now that you know where your kitty has gone take some toilet paper, remove and soak up the mess. Once it is visibly gone throw the toilet paper in the toilet and flush and let's remove that kitty urine smell.Vinegar and Water
My first plan of attack is vinegar and water. I use this step only when I know the urine has been there for minutes. If it has been there a long time then this step may do nothing. Take and mix one part vinegar to three parts water and put it into a spray bottle. Shake the bottle until you feel it is mixed together.

Homeright SteamMachine
Steaming is my heavy duty step. Sometimes you need to go to the tough guys to get the job done especially if you cannot reach the odor. Because cat urine likes to seep into grout, cracks, and crevices, you will need a Homeright SteamMachine.

Prepping the Space
Make sure everything is out of the way. I cleared out the table so I could easily get to the areas where my cat had gone.
Apply Natures Miracle
Next spray the Natures Miracle generously on the floor and along the baseboard. If the urine went under anything spray the stain remover wherever you think there is urine. Let the Natures Miracle sit while you get the steamer ready.Steamer
Next, make sure the steam machine is unplugged. Fill the steamer with 40 oz. of distilled water. Do not to overfill with water.
Clean with No Attachment
First, do not attach any attachments. Pull the trigger and let the steam flow onto the baseboard. Steam 12 inches down the baseboard at a time and take a clean washcloth and whip up the baseboard.
Clean with Jet Nozzle Attachment
Now put the straight adapter on the steamer gun nozzle and then the jet nozzle. Then begin where the smell begins and direct the steam under the baseboard right along the crack where the floor and base meet.
Clean with Triangle Steam Mop Attachment
You are almost finished. Attach the mop attachment and pad and begin steaming the floors.

Inappropriate urination and strong smelling urine can also be a sign of the kitty having some urinary problems/infection. Looking into that may keep you from having to repeat the cleaning procedure. Win-win…

I have two kittens and they are always urinating on our carpets and wood floor. The urine smells and stains got so bad that I had to have a local carpet cleaner come and fix it. But, we just moved into a new place and the kittens have already made a mess again! I followed your process but used a different steamer, and I was surprised at how well it removed the urine smell! Thank you for your help, Linda!
