Why is your cat going to the bathroom on the floor instead of the litter box?

Repeated use of any formula on your carpet will over time destroy your carpet, this is a fact.  Pet Stainoff is an amazing product for removing pet stains and odors but if your feline companion is habitually using your flooring as a bathroom you need to address the root of the problem.  Cats are difficult animals to understand but here are some top reasons for why most cats use the you floor as toilet:

• Cats are very in tune with their surroundings, any dramatic change in your cats daily life can be very upsetting to them.  Cats have their daily routine and one of these routines is going to the bathroom, by disturbing this routine your cat may be just be simply protesting.

• Does you cat spend a lot of time going back and forth to its litter box or spend long periods in it?  If so, your cat could have a urinary tract infection.  If your cat does have an infection this can be very painful for your cat.  A cat with a urinary tract infection will go to the bathroom any chance it gets whether its in its litter box or not.  If you see these signs you should take your cat to the vet immediatly. A $100 vet bill is much cheaper than purchasing stain products on a regular basis  or you night even end up replacing your carpets.

• When is the last time you changed your litter box? Cats by nature are clean animals and would prefer to go to the bathroom on your nice clean floor over using a dirty litter box.  Change your litter box on a regular basis and your cats will not only love you but will love your flooring as well.

• New baby or pet in the house?  Cats don't like it when the attention that they used to get from you  is now being given to someone else.  Your cat could be protesting, make sure to give your cats lots of attention.

 Finding the cat stains

Sometimes finding where you cat is going to the bathroom is the hard part. As with all pet stain solutions Pet Stainoff will only work to get rid of the stain if it comes in contact with stain.  Cats are habitual and in most cases return to the same spot to urinate over and over again, in a sense a common urinating spot becomes a new litter box.  Monitor your cats closely and pinpoint the areas they are using as a bathroom.  Another great tool for finding pet stains is using an ultra violet light.  Organic stains will glow when you shine an ultraviolet light on them.  Ultra violet lights are included in our 2 pet Stainoff kits located on our pet stain remover online store.

 Marking the pet stains

After finding the stains take masking tape and mask a border 6" around the stain.  We do this so that we introduce Pet Stainoff to the stain in a precise manner.  Once you have marked all the stains its time to begin the mixing and activating process.

 Mixing and activating Pet Stainoff

Pet Stainoff is a blend of highly concentrated mutant bacteria that eats cat urine and fecal matter.  Enzymes are activated by introducing them to hot water and Pet Stainoff has a dilution ratio of 4 to 1 (4 parts water to 1 part Pet Stainoff.  For smaller stains we recommend mixing 1/2 cup Pet Stainoff to 2 cups hot water from your tap.  Once the product is mixed pour it into a spray bottle that can produce a steady stream.  Next it's time to apply the formula.

 Introducing the formula to the stain

If there is fecal matter in the stain remove as much as possible before applying the formula.  Spray the formula from the outer edges of the stain inward to the center. 

 Injecting the formula into the carpet backing

Using a carpet syringe push the plunger all the way down.  Submerse the needle in the formula and draw it into the syringe by pulling up the plunger.  Inject the Pet Stainoff formula into the stain working from the edges of the stain toward the center.  You should inject 60cc's of formula per 5"x5" stain.

 Prolonging the active period of the enzymes

In order to keep the enzymes working we must keep them warm.  Place a moist warm towel on the stain and change repeatdly every half hour for up to 6 hrs.

 Let the area dry

After using the moist towel let the formula dry naturally.  Once the area dries the stain will be gone.
