Like some
homeowners have to deal with pet odors, Cat Urine Odor one of these. In fact, some believe that
cat urine odor is one of the strongest odors of all pets. However,
this does not mean that this odor cannot be removed, as there are known methods and
products that are capable of getting rid of cat urine odor for you. The
enzyme/bacteria method is believed to be the most effective method of removing cat urine
odor, as it gets down to the root of the
problem. This is because of the fact that the enzyme/bacteria process is
capable of getting to deep areas where cat urine may be
deposited.
Cause of Unusual Cat Urine
Odor:
Among several factors that could affect the cat urine odor
intensity, it is the diet and sex of cats that can be pinpointed. It is
said that male cats have strong urine odor than female cats. This is
because of the diet being high in protein, coupled by the male hormone in
their bodies. Next in odor intensity would be female cats, and then dogs.
Another important factor that causes stronger cat urine odors is the
age of the animal. This is because of the fact that the older an animal is
the greater the chances are of its kidneys not functioning
properly.
Locating Cat Urine:
The
most common method employed includes black light that usually reveals a
glow where cat urine is detected. Usually, one will find male cat urine
deposits on furniture and areas that they find convenient for marking
their territory. However, their urine may also fall on carpeted areas and
ones from where it is difficult to remove it. Females prefer to use open
areas in contrast to the males that prefer depositing their urine in
smaller amounts to mark their
territory.
Cat Urine Odor Removal:
The
process of removing cat urine odor includes employing the enzyme/bacteria
method. This includes introduction of an enzyme/bacteria agent that set to
work on the urine content immediately.
The enzymes in the agent
favor bacterial action, and cause bacteria to multiply rapidly, thereby,
increasing the breakdown of the urine contents. Once all the urine
contents are broken down, the source of odor diminishes, and the cat odor
removal process terminates.
Safety of the Enzyme/Bacteria
process:
Often, the process by which the enzyme/bacteria process
operates is questioned with regard to safety. Yes, this process is
believed to be safe to use at home even if there are children in the
house. This is because of the fact that agent used in the process of
removing cat odors breaks down once the process is over. It breaks down
into Carbon Dioxide and Water. These are harmless substances that pose no
threat to anyone. However, as a precautionary measure, it is best to keep
children away from the agent while it is still working. This would mean
keeping children away from the area of treatment until the prescribed
period for cat urine’s odor removal has expired.
