The reason for the sharp odor of cat urine
First, you need sort outWhy urine has a pungent "flavor". There is nothing complicated, all the reason in its composition. Here are the components of cat urine:
- urea,
- urochrome,
- Urinova acid.
Of urea after drying the urine becomes sticky. Urochrome gives it color. A reason that the urine produces pungent odor which is very difficult to deduce a Urinova acid, which accelerates the crystallization process.
If you have thoroughly washed the stain left after the cat marks or cat, you only remove the two first material composition. A Urinova acid remained on the shoe. Completely it is almost impossible to remove. Odor resistance and its toxicity depends on its quantity in the urine. It is also important and the material on which it fell. The more it absorbs moisture, the smell will be more difficult to bring.
Deodorization of the shoe means at hand
The easiest way remove the smell of cat urine of the shoe, which is made of a fabric, it includes, for example, running shoes, sneakers or sneaker. To do this often use:
- laundry soap,
- glycerol,
- solution of potassium permanganate.
Before you apply soap, shoes should first soak in waterAnd only then they wash out. Glycerin is one of the most effective methods to combat odor. The fact that it destroys just those crystals that are formed using Urinova acid. It is possible to apply any detergent which includes glycerol. Including glycerine soapWhich can be used, as well as economic. If you use potassium permanganate, then the shoes are best to soak in it for about half an hour.
Thereafter, if the user allows the care of footwear, it is possible to wash out in the washing machine. And to secure the success of rub vodka. By itself, it can not cope with the smell. But it can scare a cat from the action of repetition. Pungent smell does not like pets.
With the smell of leather shoes to handle more complicated. After the urine is absorbed well into it. But even here the means are available. Help from the persistent smell all the same potassium permanganate, but in this case it also add 15-12 drops of iodine per liter of solution. If the shoe that has marked your cat from a light skin, in this case, hydrogen peroxide helps. But to use the colored material should be careful not to stain remains. The first step is to conduct an experiment on a small inconspicuous area.
Vinegar is most effective way remove cat urine odor from leather shoes. It is diluted with water in proportion 1 to 3 and their surface are treated boots or shoes. In addition, vinegar, as well as vodka, protects the shoes from repeat such actions. However, these same properties and citric acid.
With suede and nubuck even more difficult, because this shoe may be stained from both urine and from its treatment against odor. It is best to use in this case glycerine soap for treatment of odors from the inside and a weak solution of lemon juice to the surface.
The most difficult to remove the smell of fur boots. First you need to remove them from the insole. They are unlikely to need you have. Then they need to be treated with one of those methods, which are explained above. can be used vinegar, citric acid, potassium permanganate. Boots is followed to fill the paper and take them to ventilate with fresh air.

Personally, I do not believe that something can benefit from the cat smell. He too pungent and steady. Perhaps until the boots or shoes are dry, they do not smell. But once they start to re-use, they heat up or they will get wet, and that's when the smell will return. The best option of all - it's just to say goodbye to your favorite shoes, and do not try to wash it in different ways. It will be a waste of time and money.

And I was advised to use a penny pharmacy means Formidron. Ostensibly it kills all the bacteria that are to blame for the formation of a persistent odor. Initially I wanted to use vinegar, once I tested. But now that's in doubt that you first try. However, no matter what will help, but to get rid of the smell. I'll start all the same with vinegar, which seems to have helped me once. But I used the last time almost immediately, wiping his boots. And this time they I had stood a few hours. But I hope that one of the two tools I still help.

This is where all the writing that you can get rid of the smell of cat urine in the shoe. But these lovely creation is marked not only shoes or boots. Often suffers clothes, bedding, bags and so on. D. And where His Majesty the cat will deign to make their dirty work the next time, and it is known only to him. Therefore, I believe that every human being, in whose house lives a cat, have to be health tool to help fight odors. I, for example, it is always there.
