How to Remove Cat Urine From Bedding

Cats are fun, playful pets and generally stay clean. But just like people, cats can have bad days--especially when it comes to cat urine in the wrong places. Some cats urinate or spray to mark their territory. Other reasons cat urinate in the wrong places include fear, sickness and a dirty litter box. Cats will urinate on anything, including bedding. When this happens, it's important to know how to clean it.

      Start the washing machine and set it on gentle cycle, but don't put any detergent in it. Instead, place 1 cup of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of baking soda in the washing machine and place all of the soiled bedding in the washer. Wait for the washer to finish. The vinegar solution will help neutralize the urine.
