How to Clean Rabbit Urine

Pet rabbits can be messy. They can't be trained to use a litter box like cats, or go outside like dogs. When your pet rabbits have accidents on their bedding or in their cages, the mess must be cleaned up right away. Vinegar is not only inexpensive, but it is also a natural deodorizer and disinfectant that takes care of rabbit urine stains and odor.

Instructions

    • 1

      Fill the spray bottle with straight white vinegar. Do not dilute the vinegar. The vinegar has acidic components that penetrate and break up the rabbit urine, no matter what kind of material the urine is on.

    • 2

      Spray the soiled surface. The white vinegar will clean the urine and neutralize the odor. Allow 1 to 2 minutes for non-porous surfaces like cages, hard flooring, patios or decks. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for porous surfaces such as bedding, carpets, and pillows.

    • 3

      Scrub non-porous surfaces with a sponge. Boil the sponge for two minutes after removing the urine to kill germs.

    • 4

      Scrub porous surfaces with a soft-bristled scrub brush. Blot up as much vinegar as possible with paper towels. Allow the surfaces to air-dry.
