Nobody really wants cat wee all over their house, no matter how natural spraying might be! In this post I’ll explain how to go about cleaning up your cat’s sprayed urine, as it’s not as simple as you might think!

To start with, you’ll want to detect the exact area in which your cat has deposited urine. This is best achieved using a black fluorescent light, under which the urine will show up as yellow. However, sprayed urine is a more complicated substance than you may expect and cleaning it thoroughly will require more than just soap and water. Although you can buy commerical products designed for the job, you can also use basic household items to achieve the same result.

Firstly, you will need to remove the proteinous parts of the urine by using a warm solution of water containing biological washing power – the enzymes in which will break down the protein. Next you should rise the area with cold water and allow it to dry naturally before finally spraying an alchohol-based product, which will break down the fatty deposits. Once complete, ensure the room is totally dry before allowing your cat back in.

An alternative method is to combine one part white vinegar with two parts warm water to create an anti-spray-spray, or a cocktail of hydorgen peroxide (approx. 15 ounces), baking soda (approx. 2 tablespoons) and liquid hard soap; apply this solution and then wash away using warm water.
