It seems the internet, and the vet are in love with enzymatic cleaners. The idea is that the enzymes 'eat' the pee away. This is the brands I tried:
Urine Off:
I think it does the job if you want to get rid of the smell for human nostrils, however it seems my cat could either still smell his pee, or was attracted (and not in a good way) to the product, because he would come back and urinate on the spot.
Nature's Miracle:
Does the job. From the odours coming out during processing time, I would say it annihilated the pee and anything beyond. I was glad to see the textile hadn't melted away. There was no residual smell either.
The main problem is that it is hard to find, and quite expensive if you live in the UK.
Simple Solution:
This is the one sold by my vet. I think it does the job, but it leave a 'fresh' smell afterwards, and your cat may be bothered by it.
Home Brew:
Ok. This is not a brand but my own magic mix, which turns out cheaper. No point saving the cushions, if you can buy new ones for the same price!
- For washables:
- if the stain is still wet: mix biological washing powder (no liquids or gel) with 30° water in a bucket, a sink, or a bath tub, depending of what you have. Let the fabric soak for 3 hours, then rub and press on the fabric. Rinse at least 4 times, and let it air dry.
