So the good news is - I'm getting more hours AND it's with the clients I already have rather than new ones 30 miles in the opposite direction.

The bad news is - their house reeks of cat piss and gives me a bad headache and no matter what I do, I can't get rid of the smell. And now I have to deal with it for an extra two days.
I love these people and am ever so grateful for the hours but wtf can I do about the smell of cat piss???

Are they not cleaning the boxes or the cats not using them?

If it’s the latter, they gotta clean with enzyme cleaner all the spots the cats are going. It’s the only thing that works.

@SwampFlower The people who own the cats physically cannot change the box so the aides do it but the smell never leaves the house.
I really don't think the cats go anywhere other than the box.

@Tumbleweed See if you can find Angry Orange and clean the whole area where the boxes are. Wash out the boxes with it too, every other litter change. If that doesn’t help at all, you might need to replace the boxes or check that they aren’t peeing outside of it somewhere

@SwampFlower Thank you! I'll try anything!!

@Tumbleweed There’s also scented baking soda you can add to the litter between changes/during scoops that will help absorb the smell.
