CAT URINE IN YOUR SOFA? WE PUT AN END TO IT.
Cat urine penetrates deep into upholstery and cannot be removed with ordinary cleaning products. Uric acid crystals remain active and keep producing odour. We use professional enzyme treatments that break down the urine at a molecular level. Permanent results, no returning smell.
Why cat urine is so hard to remove from your sofa
Cat urine is fundamentally different from other stains. It contains a much higher concentration of uric acid than dog or human urine. Once cat urine dries, uric acid crystals form that resist most cleaning products. When exposed to moisture or heat, these crystals reactivate and the smell returns. On top of that, cat urine soaks deep into the filling and frame of your sofa, far beyond what the eye can see.
- Uric acid crystals are insoluble in water and survive ordinary cleaning
- The smell intensifies in humid weather or warmth as crystals reactivate
- Cat urine soaks through the upholstery into the filling and sometimes the frame
- Spraying behaviour in cats contains extra pheromones that make the odour more persistent
- Cleaning products containing ammonia make the problem worse because cat urine contains ammonia
- Residual odour attracts the cat to urinate in the same spot again

When do you need professional cat urine removal?
Cat urine in the sofa is a common problem. In these situations, professional help is the best choice:
How we permanently remove cat urine
Our proven three-step approach against cat urine
UV detection and analysis
Using a professional UV lamp, we map all urine spots, including those invisible to the naked eye. This tells us exactly where and how deep the urine has penetrated. We often discover spots you did not know existed.
Enzyme treatment
We treat each spot with a professional enzyme cleaner that specifically breaks down uric acid crystals. The enzymes literally consume the uric acid molecules rather than just masking them. This treatment works deep into the filling.
Deep extraction and neutralisation
Using powerful injection-extraction equipment, we remove all broken-down urine residues, enzymes and moisture from the upholstery. We then neutralise the pH of the fabric so no odour remains and your cat no longer recognises the spot.
Why home remedies do not work against cat urine
What to expect after our treatment
Honest advice: what we can and cannot do
We are always transparent. Very old cat urine stains may have permanently damaged the fabric fibres, meaning discolouration may remain visible despite complete odour removal. If a cat has been urinating in the same spot for months, the urine may have soaked into the frame. In that case, we sometimes recommend replacing the inner cushions for the best result. We are honest about this during the inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
