- To remove fresh cat odors, begin by soaking up as much urine as possible. Once you have removed as much as you can, rinse the area thoroughly with cold water. Finally, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area and rub it in. Allow the area to dry. Then vacuum up the baking soda.
- For cat odors coming from an old stain, begin by flushing the area with water. Next, use an enzymatic cleaner on the area. Enzymatic cleaners are designed to target organic sources of staining and odor. You might need to repeat the process more than once, according to the authors of the book "Planet Cat."
- For cat odors coming from old stains in carpets or hardwood floors, there is a chance that normal cleaning will not remove them. If the odor is coming from the carpet padding or from within the wood, removing the damaged materials and replacing them could be the only way to get rid of the odor completely.
