Many at least once faced such trouble - darling kotofy, and even the pet of friends to whom you paid a visit, unscrupulously marked your shoes. What to do? Whether it is possible to wash footwear and to get rid of a smell or it is necessary to throw out shoes?

Instruction

1. First of all it is necessary to wash out footwear properly. Ideally any surface marked with a cat needs to be washed out at once. Without delay there are more chances to remove not only a smell, but also to split crystals of uric acid. You will be helped by laundry soap, alcohol, vodka or glycerin. Though in practice it is not always possible. As a rule, the owner finds a surprise from the favourite in several hours.

2. There is a set of folk remedies from a similar misfortune. For example, smell vymorazhivaniye. The washed-up footwear is sent to the freezer or held all winter on the balcony. This way is very doubtful because the smell, it seems, will disappear, but if suddenly you have to walk in this footwear the whole day or to put on it in hot weather, cat's ""aromas"" will be shown again. The fact is that even in the washed-up footwear residues of urine crystallize, and at the next hit of any moisture the smell has again an effect.

3. To you it is not necessary to use the disinfectants containing chlorine. First, they can cause allergies, secondly, there is no guarantee that chlorine will remove an unpleasant smell and will not spoil a shoe. Much better hydrogen peroxide, iodine or solution of permanganate of potassium which wonderfully kills smells are suitable for this purpose. It is possible to use solution of vinegar or lemon juice.

4. If footwear fabric, for example, sneakers, then can help out several thorough washings. And here if the product from skin suffered, then be extremely careful with all above-mentioned means. Otherwise the appearance of footwear so will suffer that all the same it is necessary to throw out it.

5. Perhaps, in this case the liquidator of a smell of urine in pet-shop is to buy the best decision. Wash out footwear, wipe with this means and dry up. You can sprinkle and antigadiny that from now on it was untempting to a cat. Only do not pour anti-reptiles without preliminary processing - the effect will not be. Also hide footwear and other things far away from the favourite.
