Anyone who owns a cat knows these furry creatures are loyal and loving. Because they’re self sufficient, they’re the perfect pet for the family who likes to get away for a week-long or weekend trip. However, self-sufficiency doesn’t keep a carpet clean. If not handled promptly, pet stains and smells can permeate your home.

Cats may seem like tidy little animals on the outside, but in all actuality, litter box odors, combined with the smell of past pet accidents, can advertise to all who enter your home that you have a cat. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this kind of embarrassment.

It’s important to clean up after cat accidents, immediately and thoroughly. If left to languish, stains left behind by cat urine or cat vomit can become embedded in carpet fibers or discolor a wood floor. In addition, the smell can embed itself into those fibers, rendering it almost impossible to remove. There are highly touted products on the market geared towards removing cat odors, but the reality is that they don’t do more than cover up the smell. To thoroughly remove the odor, you need oxygen technology.

Oxygen technology products such as PAWS (Pet Accident Washup Solution) and Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate, use Bubble Up Technology to penetrate deep into the stain, getting to the root of the problem.

Oxygen technology products don’t mask cat odors, nor do they make the stains merely fade away; they clean thoroughly and effectively. Best of all, these products leave your floors, carpets and upholstery smelling clean and fresh. Because they’re odorless, there’s no overpowering pine or floral scent left behind. Since oxygen technology seeps deep down inside the stain, there’s no danger of it coming back to haunt you. It disappears forever.

Products such as PAWS and Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate are simple to use, too. As soon as the pet accident occurs, clean up any solid matter with a paper towel and throw away. Blot the liquid stain gently with a clean, white, absorbent cloth. Once you’ve lifted as much of the stain as possible, spray the affected area completely with an oxygen technology product such as PAWS or Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate. Leave on for about 5 minutes, allowing the oxygen bubbles to get to work. When time is up, blot until the area is dry. That’s it! No scrubbing, no rubbing, no renting a steam cleaner from the supermarket.

Oxygen technology is great for cleaning out the litter box, too. When the box is empty, spray PAWS or Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate into the empty litter box, let sit for a few minutes and wipe clean. A fresh, clean, odor-free litter box is yours in minutes.

The last thing you want is for your home to have the tell-tale scent of cat odors. Pets should be seen, not smelled! If cat odors are an issue, try oxygen technology. You’ll never have an odor problem again!
