5.0 out of 5 stars Cat Urine BEWARE!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2014
Scent: UnscentedSize: 65 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I purchased this for the express purpose of removing cat urine stain/odor from a VERY expensive leather jacket. The process had multiple steps and required serious committment, BUT it WORKED. So I am praising this product and posting the multi-step process here - in case anyone else has a naughty kitty! Follow ALL the steps - I did and the jacket came out looking and smelling brand new!
Basically, the sooner you attack this stinky problem, the higher the likelihood the condition, odor, and texture of the leather won’t be permanently damaged.
Items You’ll Need to Eliminate the Smell
Enzyme Odor Removal Solution Specifically Engineered for Pet Odors (Biokleen Bac-Out!!!)
2 Kitchen Towels (I used cloth baby diapers - new ones)
Tupperware Box w/ Lid (The jacket was large so I used a huge zippered bag that a comforter came in)
Borax (I used 20 Mule Team!)
Gallon Sized Ziplock Back (Or Trash Bag for Larger Items)
2-3 Pieces of Activated Charcoal
Saddle Soap
Tea Tree Oil (I did not need this part, the odor was gone)

9 Easy Steps for Removing Cat Urine Smells from Leather (As originally written by Sarah B. on the petluvr website)
Moisten a kitchen towel with enzyme odor remove and absorb as much of the cat pee as possible. This eradicates the microbes that causing unpleasant smell.
Saturate the affected area with the enzyme cleanser. If you’re using a spray bottle, you might want to take the top off and pour it directly onto the place of the pet’s accident.
Saturate another towel with more of your favorite cat urine odor removal product. Place the towel on top of the area and let it sit for 3 hours. If you’re able, place another towel (or wrap part of the other towel) underneath the leather so your getting both sides of the leather.
Find a large Tupperware box that’s large enough to place the item in. Pour borax into the box until the borax is 1 inch deep. Place the smelly item into the box and pour additional borax on it so that it’s completely covered. If your try to remove feline or dog urine from a large a couch, car interior, or something else that’s very large, just pour the borax directly on area where the pet peed.
Fill one cup of activated charcoal and place it inside a plastic bag (ideally a Ziploc or other airtight bag). After it has soaked in the borax box for 24 hours, place the soiled leather item into the Ziploc along with the charcoal.
Now you’ll place the plastic bag back into the box with borax. (So, you’ve got the soiled item inside the plastic bag, and the plastic bag inside the box.) Seal the box with as close to an airtight lid as possible. Let the item sit in the sealed box for 3-5 days. (Allow for a longer time if the urine was initially untreated for longer than a 24 hours.)
When you remove the leather item (purse, cushion, jacket, etc.), the cat urine smell should be completely removed. Let the leather naturally air dry to prevent damage or water stains.
After it’s dry, use clean the leather with a very generous amount of saddle soap. This will ensure you retain the natural condition of the leather and give the leather a natural scent too. If the leather seems to be dry, you can also try gently massaging a soft cloth that has a few drops tea tree oil on it. **I did not try the tea tree oil - didn't need it)
The pungent urine aroma is still there, repeat steps 1-8. Only do this two more times to prevent damaging the leather.

Pointers and Warnings
Always test a small amount of cleaning products on a small, hidden piece of leather to make sure it doesn’t harm the texture, condition, or color of the leather.
To maintain and restore the softness of the leather, try applying very light, unscented baby oil.
Do not use ammonia or alcohol-based solutions. Ammonia will only make the smell worse. Alcohol will dry out the leather. (Be careful. Nature’s Miracle Pet Odor Remover contains alcohol.)
Avoid cleaning the leather frequently. It can cause the material to crack. Clean it only when its stained or develops strong smell of pet urine.
Cat urine is much more concentrated than dog urine. Try to clean cat accidents as soon as possible.
If your pet urinated on a leather couch, be sure to check the carpet next to or below it. Getting rid of pet urine odors from a carpet requires different steps.

By following the steps outlined above, you should be able to treat, clean, and eliminate pet urine that’s come in contact with most leather items. GOOD LUCK!

People have been using borax longer than I’ve been alive and what can I say, it works.

I have very hard water and sometimes I feel like it builds up on things that I wash often.

When I use this on the dog bedding and the giant washable rug, they come out so clean it feels like it’s been starched after a leisurely bleach bath.

I use this for everything it says it’s for, laundry, cleaning and deodorizing! And it’s GREAT! BUT It’s also great as part of the GEO method to treat RV holding tanks! Got RV holding tank odors? Try this - 1 cup Borax, 1 cup Calgon, 1 cup PineSol (or Fabuloso) mixed well in a gallon of water. You can also use a cup of cheap fabric softener before any of it and it - will just help coat the tank. Add a couple more gallons of water and bye bye tank odors.

PS Add to empty flushed tank before travel each time and after a few times- bye bye stuck sensors, too.

You’re welcome 🙏
