If you have a dog and a cat, you know that sometimes accidents happen. Unfortunately, one of the most common accidents is when your cat pees on your dog’s bed. Not only is this a smelly mess, but it can also be difficult to get rid of the smell. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to get cat pee smell out of your dog’s bed.
The first step is to remove the bedding from the bed. If the bedding is washable, you should wash it in hot water with a strong detergent. If the bedding is not washable, you should discard it and replace it with new bedding.
Once the bedding is removed, you should vacuum the bed to remove any remaining cat pee. Be sure to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to ensure that all of the cat pee is removed.
Once the bed is vacuumed, you should use an enzymatic cleaner to remove any remaining cat pee smell. Enzymatic cleaners are specifically designed to break down the proteins in cat pee, which helps to eliminate the smell. Be sure to follow the instructions on the cleaner to ensure that it is used correctly.
Once the enzymatic cleaner has been applied, you should let it sit for at least 15 minutes. This will give the cleaner time to work and break down the proteins in the cat pee.
After the enzymatic cleaner has been allowed to sit, you should use a wet/dry vacuum to remove any remaining cleaner and cat pee. Be sure to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to ensure that all of the cleaner and cat pee is removed.
Once the bed is vacuumed, you should use a deodorizer to help eliminate any remaining cat pee smell. You can use a commercial deodorizer or you can make your own by mixing one part white vinegar with two parts water. Spray the deodorizer on the bed and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Once the deodorizer has been allowed to sit, you should vacuum the bed again to remove any remaining deodorizer and cat pee. Be sure to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to ensure that all of the deodorizer and cat pee is removed.
Finally, you should use a fabric refresher to help eliminate any remaining cat pee smell. Fabric refreshers are specifically designed to help eliminate odors from fabrics. Be sure to follow the instructions on the refresher to ensure that it is used correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to get cat pee smell out of your dog’s bed. It may take a few tries, but eventually the smell should be gone. If the smell persists, you may need to replace the bedding or the bed itself.
