The biological cleaning solution in bottle 2 is used because the enzymatic agents in washing powder/liquid is very effective at breakage down proteins and fats that form components of the chemical signals deposited by cats. Surgical spirit held to remove remaining traces of odour chemicals.

Urine odours will continue to accumulate because one round of cleaning will never be enough to remove all of the odour. Each spot should therefore be cleaned several times each week, until it has not been soiled at all for at least 3 weeks. This will remove all odours and reduce the chance of further soiling if the cat has a relapse.

The owner should draw a diagram of all of the sites in the house where urine and faeces have been found. At the start of treatment, the client should be instructed to clean all sites in a single day, and then repeat this within 2-3 days. A single round of cleaning is not enough to remove all scent, but two house-wide thorough cleaning sessions will usually be enough to substantially reduce odours. This increases the likelihood that other scent-based methods, such as the use of synthetic pheromones, will be likely to be effective.<br>

 

Owners should then continue to check and clean all sites at least weekly until no urine or faeces have been deposited for several weeks. New deposits should be cleaned immediately, using the same method.
