What to use for cat urin smell?

I’ve gone through the house once with bleach. Anything else I should do? He’s getting fixed right now and I want him coming home free of that scent

I was in a relationship with a woman that had a cat and had the same problem. Because she had carpets, we steam cleaned them all, then would use Nature's Miracle Cat Advanced Stain & Odor Removers For Cat every time it happened again. There are some powdered things you can get to sprinkle in and then vacuum up as well. But it is difficult to get rid of the smell even using bleach because of an enzyme in their urine that lingers forever it feels like. Hope this helps.

@Soramarie Then you might want to try mixing a little vinegar and water for that. For some reason that seems to work better than bleach. Not sure why, but it's what we did in the kitchen, bathroom or hall if it happened there.

@Soramarie 😆 Might be a good idea, good luck and you might want to look up what proportions to make it, it's been so long I barely remembered that remedy. I do hope it works for you.

[@honestly I did half and half with the bleach cause I’m freaking tired of it and have brand new furniture lol

@Soramarie Might not want to do half and half with the vinegar, that has it's own powerful aroma. lol One I'm not crazy about if too strong, but that's me.
