If you have a cat, you know that sometimes no matter how much you clean the litter box, your house can still have that uninviting pet odor. And you also know that if the litter box isn't up to kitty's cleanliness standards, she'll likely decide to go to the bathroom elsewhere. When that happens, removing the odor from your carpet, hardwood floor or even bedding can be a nightmare. Or maybe you have a cat who feels he needs to "mark his territory" on anything and everything in your home. Well, if you're like most cat owners, you've tried every odor eliminator on the market to get that bad smell out of fabrics, furniture and litter boxes. There are sprays, gels, plug-in air fresheners, scented liners even black lights with sprays to help combat the displeasing pet odor. Unfortunately, most of these products only mask the odor. Plus, if the urine has soaked into your carpet or fabric, a spray simply isn't going to be able to get all the way down to the source. Also, a lot of those chemicals are bad for the environment. Many cat owners have found relief through using all-natural odor eliminator products. Look for a cat urine odor remover that is made of all-natural mineral granules that eliminate pet odors naturally and effectively, as opposed to masking odors for a few days. Currently, there are products on the market that allow you to sprinkle granules on your carpet and have them do the tough work overnight; all you have to do the next day is simply vacuum the spot. Voila! You'll be rid of those odors once and for all. You can also find the same type of granules that can be sprinkled into your cat's litter box to not only remove odor but also to prolong the life of the cat litter. All of these benefits will make you, your guests, your planet and your cat much happier.
