How to Get Cat Urine Out of the Upholstery

Cats are a source of companionship and affection for many people, but they can, however, upset owners by soiling carpets and upholstery with urine. This may result from a cat neglecting to use a "cat box" or the animal having a health condition and losing control of its bladder. Upholstery that is stained with cat urine can be treated. The process involves thoroughly cleaning the urine from the upholstery, removing moisture and applying the proper stain and odor remover.
