What to Do When a Cat Wets the Sofa

What is the problem?

Cat urine has a strong ammonia component that often resists surface cleaning and smells again in damp weather.

The solution

Blot immediately → the right chemical (1 €/tab) → deep Puzzi 10/1 extraction → full drying.

How does it work?

1. Blot the liquid as fast as possible with paper towels, pressing rather than rubbing.
2. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners — the smell can encourage the cat to mark the same spot again.
3. Dampen with the right chemical, then blot dry again.
4. Extract with the Puzzi 10/1, covering a wider area than the visible spot.
5. Dry fully with ventilation before letting the cat back onto the sofa.

What not to do

• Use ammonia-based products
• Scold the cat after the fact — it doesn't reduce marking
• Cover the spot with fragranced fabric instead of cleaning it
• Leave the damp spot unattended

When Puzzi, when a service

A fresh, single spot is often resolved with the Puzzi 10/1 in one cycle — 15 €/day or 25 €, chemical 1 €/tab.

If the cat marks repeatedly, the sofa is leather, or the smell is already strong without a clear spot — a service with proper diagnosis is the safer choice, call 062 110 999.

Practical tips

• No ammonia — it can encourage repeat marking.
• Speed matters more than any single product.
• Repeat marking is often a behavioural issue too — worth a vet's advice.
