1️⃣ For Fresh Cat Pee (0–1 Hour Old): Bio-Enzymatic Cleaners
When you’re lucky enough to catch the accident fresh, you’re in the best spot to stop the smell before it becomes permanent.
✅ How to do it:
- Grab a bio-enzymatic cleaner—which is a specialized bacteria that breaks down the proteins and urea in the pee.
- Brands that work well: Anti-Icky-Poo, Nature’s Miracle, Hepper or Rocco & Roxie.
- Next, blot up as much liquid as possible with paper towels.
- Then, soak the area with the cleaner and let it work its magic for at least 20-30 minutes.
- Finally, blot again and allow to air dry.
No harsh chemicals, no fuss—just let the enzymes and bacteria do the work!

2️⃣ For Older Stains: Start with an Oxygen-Based Cleaner
If the stain’s had time to set, it’s a little more complicated—but still totally fixable!
✅ How to do it:
- Use an oxygen-based cleaner (look for sodium percarbonate or even hydrogen peroxide). These break down organic matter and loosen up the uric acid crystals that cause the lingering smell.
- Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes.
- Next. blot up the moisture with towels or a wet/dry vac.
- Don’t skip this step! Because, it sets the stage for your bio-enzymatic cleaner to work properly
3️⃣ Finish the Job: Bio-Enzymatic Cleaner for Deep Cleaning
Once the area is pre-treated with an oxygen cleaner, it’s time for the final (and most important) step: bio-enzymatic deep cleaning.
✅ How to do it:
- Apply your trusted bio-enzymatic cleaner again to the damp (but not soaked) area.
- These cleaners thrive in a moist environment and will eat away any lingering pee particles.
- Next, let it sit for as long as possible—some need a few hours to fully work.
- Blot dry or use a fan to help air dry.
This final step ensures the smell doesn’t come back and your cat won’t be tempted to re-mark.
Final Thoughts:
With these three simple, chemical-free steps, you’re not just masking the smell—you’re breaking it down at the source. So, next time your kitty misses the litter box, don’t panic , just grab your oxygen-based and bio-enzymatic cleaners and show that carpet who’s boss!
