10 Best Cat Urine Odour Removers in the UK — 2024 Reviews & Top Picks

The UK certainly doesn’t have a shortage of pet cats—with 12 million¹ of them occupying millions of households across the country. Of course, each cat was once a kitten, and kittens are notorious for accidents. While you go through the journey of training your kitten to use their litter box, you might have to do a lot of cleaning up after them—and adult cats sometimes have accidents too. If your kitten or cat has urinated on your furniture, on your carpet, or in any other area, you may be stuck with a strong-smelling odour. It is not their urine that smells so bad but rather the ammonia that is released as the pee decomposes.

Thankfully, there is something you can do to rid your house of urine odour, as there are many different urine odour removers on the market. However, finding one that is non-toxic and safe for your pet while still being effective is the challenging part. Below are reviews of our top urine odour removers in the UK.

2. Dr. Beckmann Pet Stain & Odour Remover – Best Value

An excellent product to remove old stains and odours is Dr. Beckmann Pet Stain & Odour Remover. It has an applicator brush head that can be used to scrub out tough and stubborn messes on your carpets or upholstery without causing damage to it, but you might need to repeat the application a few times over. Unfortunately, it isn’t safe to use on bedding or clothing.

It leaves behind a fresh fragrance that doesn’t cover the strong smell of cat urine but instead replaces it. It does such a good job at removing the odours from previous accidents that it prevents re-soiling. This product has been developed to use around pets and their messes and is cat-safe. For everything that it offers, this product is the best cat urine odour remover for the money.

3. ANGRY ORANGE Pet Odour Eliminator – Premium Choice

Our choice of premium cat urine odour remover is the ANGRY ORANGE Pet Odour Eliminator. It is expensive, but it works wonders at removing strong and stubborn odours from a majority of surfaces and fabrics. Thankfully, this product is long-lasting because only a little bit is powerful enough to destroy odours from your home. Just shake the bottle and spray the product on the spot where your cat urinated.

This odour eliminator is non-toxic and the wonderful fragrance is citrus smelling because it is derived from real orange peels. Although non-toxic, cat owners have reported that their pets experienced an allergic reaction after coming into contact with the applied product, so if you have a sensitive cat, keep them away from the area you applied this spray to until it is completely dry.

4. Stressnomore Professional Strength Cat Urine Destroyer – Best for Kittens

Kittens are sensitive, and only the safest products should be used in areas that they occupy. Stressnomore Professional Strength Cat Urine Destroyer is a product that is safe to use for kittens and adults, so you don’t have to change to a new product when your kitten becomes an adult.

This urine odour remover is made in the UK and meets their high health and safety standards. It was formulated by experts and is an enzymatic cleaner. It has a jet spray option used to target tough stains as well as a mist spray option that covers a wider area. It prevents re-soiling and has a good scent, although many customers wish that it was stronger. The bottle doesn’t last long in homes with accident-prone kittens and can be quite pricey to replace often.

5. Bactador Odour & Stain Remover Spray

Bactador Odour and Stain Remover Spray is an enzyme cleaner that removes cat urine odours and pet stains from multiple surfaces and is used in veterinary facilities, pet boarding houses, and homes. This product has biological microorganisms that are effective at absorbing the mess from accidents and digesting it, leaving your once stained and smelly area clean and fresh.

It’s safe to use in your cat’s environment and even on their bed. However, allow it to dry before letting your cat sleep on it. This odour remover is natural and environmentally safe. You may need to use it on stubborn stains and odours a few times over for the best results.

6. envii Pet Fresh

Another cat urine odour remover that has the power to remove stains is envii Pet Fresh. This easy-to-use spray leaves behind a fresh mint smell after every use and is suitable for all surfaces. Stains and odours are removed by the bacteria and enzymes used in this product, and it’s safe for both pets and children. It is also 100% natural.

To use this product, spray it onto the area where your cat urinated and leave it to work for 10 minutes. If the stain is stubborn, spray more of the product onto the area and leave it to work for an hour. You can then blot the area. Unfortunately, you may need to use a lot of this product to get tough stains out. If you don’t, you may find that your cat keeps urinating in the same spot.

7. Dirtbusters Pet Odour Eliminator Spray

Dirtbusters Pet Odour Eliminator Spray uses a unique fragrance in its spray, which is of wild fig and cassis. This spray isn’t a stain remover but works hard at neutralizing odours at the source. It can treat pet smells, vomit, spillages, urine, and poop smells. It is safe to use on carpets, rugs, and upholstery that is made of wool, synthetic fibres, and natural fibres.

Dirtbusters is a family-run business that makes its products in the UK. Their products are environmentally conscious and are animal cruelty-free, vegan, non-toxic, biodegradable, and free from harmful chemicals. They even run their factory on solar energy. This product is a safe formula that is suitable to use around your family and pets. However, their packaging could improve as customers have reported the spray bottle arriving with liquid all over it.

8. Simple Solution Extreme Cat Stain & Odour Remover

Specifically formulated to tackle cat stains and odours is Simple Solution Extreme Cat Stain and Odour Remover. Because this brand knows how tough cat urine odour is to get out of fabrics, they use a 3X pro-bacteria and enzymes formula, making it stronger and more effective than some other, weaker formulas. It erases the mess so well from the affected area that cats are discouraged from repeat marking.

This product can be used on carpets, bedding, fabrics, upholstery, clothing, toys, and water-safe surfaces. It’s available in 500ml and 750ml bottles, but you do have to use a lot to soak the stains and odours, so you may get through a bottle quite quickly. It’s comfortable to hold when using, but some bottles have slight lever flow back problems that can leave your hand wet, which isn’t ideal. You also have to wait 24–48 hours for it to dry. Only once dried will the stain and odour be completely gone.

9. Catit Magic Blue Ammonia Buster

For something a bit different, we have Catit Magic Blue Ammonia Buster which removes cat urine odours in the form of filter pads and not a spray. This product is designed for your cat’s litter box and not for accidents on a carpet or other surfaces. You can attach these pads to the top of your cat’s hooded litter box, and it’ll last for up to a month.

A litter box is often the primary source of cat urine odours in the house, but this product has been created to absorb most of the ammonia gasses that are released without you having to treat the area on a daily basis. These pads are cat-friendly, free from chemicals, and easy to use. This product offers no fragrance, which can be a benefit to owners and cats that are sensitive to smells. However, the self-adhesive label doesn’t always last very long.

10. Nature’s Miracle Cat Urine Stain & Odour Remover

Nature’s Miracle Cat Urine Stain & Odour Remover is designed for cat urine stains and odours and neutralizes them well while adding a fresh fragrance to your home with the use of essential oils. It is effective at removing the yellow, sticky residue that cat urine leaves behind with its use of its bio-enzymatic formula.

This product can be used on many different surfaces and fabrics and is fast acting. However, you’ll also need to act fast when your cat has an accident because this product isn’t great at removing old urine stains and odours.

You don’t need to dilute this liquid, and once sprayed onto the affected area, you only need to wait 5 minutes before wiping it up.

Buyer’s Guide: Selecting the Best Cat Urine Odour Removers in the UK

It is not just kittens that can have accidents outside of the litter box. Cats can urinate in places they usually wouldn’t due to health and behavioural problems too. Stress, age, and a lack of training are just some of the possible reasons. Whatever the reason might be, there are cat urine odour removers that can get rid of the overwhelming smell in your home. However, you’ll need to know what factors to look out for to get the right one for your home and your cat.

Surfaces

You never know where your kitten or cat is going to urine, and no surface seems to be off-limits for them. One day you may find that they’ve urinated on your carpet, and the next, it could be on your wooden floors. Due to this, it is always better to get an odour remover that works on a variety of surfaces instead of just one. However, sometimes the most effective removers are those that are designed to tackle odours that have seeped into a specific fabric or surface.

Always test your odour remover on a small section of the surface you want to use first to prevent any damage. Most removers should not be used on leather, so always read the instructions first.

Safety

It’s essential to only get odour removers that are safe for your cat and the people and children that might share a home with you. Some odour removers use chemicals, and some are non-toxic, but most are safe once the product has dried. Even if an odour remover claims to be cat-friendly—never spray it onto your cat’s body.

However, the product shouldn’t only remove the odour but the bacteria from the surface your cat has urinated on to keep you and your family safe and healthy.

Effectiveness

The worst removers are those that simply add a fragrance to the smell of urine instead of removing it. Ensure that your urine odour remover is effective at adding a lovely smell to your environment while eliminating the ammonia smell entirely. If you and/or your cat are sensitive to scents, look out for odourless odour removers or ones that aren’t strong-smelling.

It’s helpful if your odour remover can remove more than just the urine smell your cat has left behind but also the odours from poop and vomit. If your odour remover is able to remove stains, that’s an added bonus that is usually necessary when accidents occur.

Prevention

A good urine odour remover won’t only remove the smell of urine from your furniture, carpet, etc., but it will turn your cat away from re-soiling that area again in the future. Cats often urinate in the same spot as a previous accident they’ve had because the scent of their last pee encourages them to urine again. Good odour removers will remove the smell of their last accident and prevent cats from feeling encouraged to urinate there again.

Having a pet means cleaning up smells, stains, hair, vomit, and more...and you can add to your pet clean-up routine with the Hepper Advanced Bio-Enzyme Pet Stain & Odor Eliminator Spray.

It's our product, and we love it so much, we just have to share! It permanently removes the very worst smells and stains, and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee!
