Just recently my little kitty (male 2 years old first time accident, yes I sill call him "my little kitty") has made my futon his new box and very recent such as this morning at about 6 A.M. and I was wondering if the ‘GET SERiOUS! Pet Stain, Odor and Pheromone Extractor’ was worth getting or if there’s a much better product? It was quite a bit of urine and I blotted just like you would do to help rid most of the wetness and smell, I’ve even used Febreze and a generic Disinfectant Spray by Quality Care, and the smell actually has gone (or so I think, you never truly know, now do you?) and the spots where he made his accident just smells like… hay, or grain feed for horses. My mother seems to think that he is the "dominant male" of the household and that the smell of my boyfriend is peeving him and he had to "reclaim his territory" as she put it… Apparently I am that territory.
P.S. It even got all over my sheets, all of them and both of my pillows any tips for removing the smell there too?
He is neutered and we live in California. So the summers occasionally get humid, and I want to make sure that doesn’t make the smell return.
He is neutered and we live in California (the Valley to be more exact). So the summers occasionally get humid, and I want to make sure that doesn’t make the smell return. I also need tips to remove the smell from my sheets and pillow, because both me and my boyfriend will not be happy about sleeping on them or under the soiled sheets.
I’ve taken in a couple male strays that weren’t fixed when I brought them in (they certainly are now!) but they sprayed whenever I wasn’t looking.
I used Natures Miracle for Cats which is supposed to be much better taking out cat urine smells. Since I got them neutered they’ve stopped marking and pee only in the box.
You can also put some Catattract in their litter. It attracts them to the box rather than where it’s inappropriate.
If he’s not neutered yet, get that done too. You’d be surprised just how fast those "dominant" hormones go away!

make a paste with backing soda and water. Rub that in to the spot that has the urine. Then spray some white vinegar on it. leave that fore 10 min. then blot it of with a towel. If you still smell it you can do it again!
Hope this helps!

Baking Soda works miracles. if your can remove the bedding and washing them with baking soda, it had intrsutions on the box for laundry care but I would add more than suggested since it is cat urine

thornezoo hit the nail on the head. I use both Nature’s Miracle and Cat Attract and they work wonders, especially the Cat Attract cat litter!
Nature’s Miracle was recommended to me by several friends who work at Petsmart and Banfield. It is what they use to clean up pet urine and it works great.
I started using Cat Attract a few months ago and, provided I regularly clean their litterboxes, my cats never urinate outside their boxes anymore.
It’s also important that the cats have their own litterboxes. Many cats will not share a litterbox with another cat.
Good luck, I know what a pain that can be!
