Help My Laundry Room Constantly Smells approaching Cat Pee and Faintly of her Poop as powerfully?
I have a pretty big laundry room but with no window or filter system and I'm obsessed with cleaning. My cat litter is in nearby. For a while It was smelling up and I needed it changed. So when I fianlly got the chance to be in motion shopping I bought new cat litter and exspensive air freshners for the entire house. I mopped the laundry room and then wash out the cat littler box and filled it again with new cat litter. For the first few days it seem the smell was gone. I also put baking soda in it as well. later all of a sudden the smell came back. So I fixed to mop the floor with a vinegar solution and let that dry. The floor smelled fine but the room still smells like * pee and poop. So after I cleaned the cat litter again in one week with vinegar and the room still smells. What do I do. I've searched everwhere and everything is verbs. i'm so close to giving my cat away. I'm a clean freak and cant deal near smells.
The cat litterbox requests to be changed EVERYDAY!! I also use the arm n hammer cat litter. My bathroom is very tiny and I have 2 cats I regulation the boxes everyday sometimes twice a day and you cant even smell it. Just change the box everyday and by change it i expect scoop the poop and pee out, so there is litter remaining, just dont dump the undamaged box of litter in. After you scoop the poop and pee out, add more litter ontop of the ripened. But dont add to much litter just enough or possibly a little more then what you scooped out.
Use this stuff. It is made to take away the smells from the litter box... it works amazing!

Answers: Just cleaning is not enough. You need to go to a pet store and buy an odor and stain remover near enzymes in it. You will need to spray this on the walls and under the baseboards and even lower than or behind the washer and dryer. That should fix your problem. Also get an enclosed litter box,
they give support to contain odors.
You don't utter what KIND of cat litter you got! Is it clumping/scoopable cat litter, or plain clay litter? The clumping kind is the best for keeping the litter box from smelling..AS LONG AS you CLEAN it AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY! When you use clay litter, the poop stays on top and the pee soaks to the bottom and stays! With the clumping litter, you can scoop the poop AND the pee, and dispose of them.
No thing how many times you clean the floors, with or lacking vinegar, or use the expensive air fresheners..the litter is what smells, and if you don't pick the poop up often plenty, it WILL smell!
Since this is your laundry room.let me tell you what I've done with my litter boxes! Next to respectively one ( I have 7 ), I set the bucket that the Scoop Away Litter for Multiple Cats came in, subsequent to the litter pan, with the lid on the bucket. Inside the bucket, I put a plastic bag and a dipper. Every time I find a "deposit" has been made, I scoop, toss, and put the lid rear legs on the bucket! No muss, no fuss, no SMELL!! A plastic bag will hold about a weeks worth of poop AND pee, then toss surrounded by the garbage (outside), and replace with another plastic bag. This works extremely well for me..
Hope this helps..Don't toss your cat, get some scoopable litter and try my "solution" first. It's not your cat's condemn, unless it's peeing and pooping ON THE FLOOR. If that's the case, it needs to be checked by a vet.to see if there's a medical problem.
Good luck...
vinegar helps cut the smell
look behind washer/dryer anywher the cat can fit. she may have gone somewhere else. cats are fussy finiky beside litters you cant keep changing them they get used to one you entail to stick with it, or gradually change by mixing older with new.( i know this for a fact cuz my cat did this. i have one a finer granual one ... i bought one it was a little cheaper and a rougher grain, she woudnt use it. she would shift behind the curio cabinet and the china dresser..i switched back and now she is jsut fine. the animal that she is.lol.
anyway back to yours...make certain to stick to one type and brand...
check all cubby holes and areas she can get into and make certain she didnt go there if she did verbs it up for yourself as you would ...and if she did if possible make it so she cant achieve back there anymore.
then do your typical clean up again.also maybe instead of using vinegar...use something more flowery smelling..like pinesole...
Here's a few things that i do and it help. I buy the cat litter that help with the smell. They also sell a cat odor powder you can pour over the cat litter that will also hold on to the smell down. Mostly what i do that helps with the smell is everytime i change my cat liter box. I other wash the box out with lemon fresh pine-sol. I rinse it out with hot sea real good and dry down the inside of the box and then teem with the litter. I always clean the cat box a couple of times times a week. It perchance a little more trouble but it is worth it. I changed the cat food to a healthy brand with hairball treatment. This alone be a total difference in the smell. Good luck !
