Understanding and Tackling Cat Odours

In the house, odours from cats can originate from a few important spots, the most prominent of which are the litter tray and any accidents that occur outside of it. It is necessary to first have an understanding of these sources before attempting to successfully solve the issue. There is a considerable relationship between the sort of litter that is utilised, its absorbency, and its ability to control odours, and the degree to which odours are handled. Similarly, addressing incidents in a timely manner and completely helps prevent odours from settling in and remaining for an extended period of time. In the next part, we will go into these factors and provide insights on how to stay on top of these standard sources of smell.

Optimal Litter Tray Practices with Breeder's Choice and Breeder's Choice PLUS

A critical aspect of controlling cat odours is appropriately maintaining the litter tray. Choosing the suitable litter can make a significant difference – this is where Breeder's Choice comes into the picture. Known for its high absorbency and excellent odour-control properties, Breeder's Choice litter can help minimise unpleasant smells. Breeder's Choice PLUS with Probiotics takes odour eating to another level. An all natural probiotic has been added into the litter that feeds off the bacteria in your litter tray, helps eliminate bad smells, and helps you maintain a fresher-smelling home. And of course, regular cleaning of the litter tray is also essential. This involves daily scooping of waste and periodic changing of the entire litter.  

The Role of Enzymatic Cleaners

When it comes to deep cleaning areas affected by cat accidents, enzymatic cleaners are your best bet. These cleaners break down and neutralise ammonia and other compounds in cat urine, vomit, and faeces. This chemical action makes them far more effective than traditional cleaning agents for eliminating the root cause of the odour, rather than just masking it. It's essential to follow the instructions carefully, as different surfaces may require other treatment methods. For instance, treating carpet stains might differ from cleaning upholstery​​​​​​.

Regular Cleaning and Grooming

In a home that has cats, it is really necessary to keep up with a consistent cleaning schedule. The removal of cat hair, dander, and litter particles can be achieved through regular vacuuming and dusting. It is possible to improve the elimination of allergens and smells by using a vacuum that is equipped with a HEPA filter. Keeping your cat groomed on a regular basis is an important part of the process, along with cleaning the house. Grooming helps to reduce the distribution of oils and dander, both of which are contributors to unpleasant smells. It is important to keep in mind that if a cat is well-groomed, it is less likely to leave behind substantial scents.

Natural Odour Control and Ventilation

When it comes to cleaning, there’s another method to odour control that is made by mixing common home ingredients - baking soda and vinegar. As well as cleaning, make sure your house has enough ventilation. Simply opening windows and allowing fresh air to circulate can do the trick. If you are going to use air fresheners or perfumes, first check to make sure that they are safe for pets so that your cat does not have any respiratory discomfort.

A clean home is a Happy Home

And that's a wrap on our fragrant feline odyssey! Tackling those pesky cat odours is like being a scent superhero in your own home, and guess what? You've got a super sidekick in Breeder's Choice litter.

But remember, maintaining a fresh-smelling lair isn't just about combating odours – it's about creating a palace fit for you and your whiskered royalty. Regular spa sessions for the litter tray, using enzyme cleansers for those little 'oopsies', and sticking to a grooming schedule worthy of the fluffiest monarchs, are your tools to keep your castle smelling divine.

And let's not forget the magic of fresh air and nature's own deodorizers to add that final, refreshing touch to your home. Keep those windows open and let the breezy charms work their wonders.

In our scented tale, if the whiffs of mystery linger, it might be time to play detective and delve deeper, as sometimes they can be sneaky signs of your cat’s health needing a check-up. Regular vet visits are the secret potion to keeping your furry friend in purr-fect health.
