The 10 Best Enzyme Cleaners for Cat Urine & Odor

1. Hepper Advanced Bio-Enzyme Pet Stain & Odor Eliminator – Best Overall

The Hepper Advanced Bio-Enzyme Pet Stain & Odor Eliminator spray is our best overall cat urine and odor remover for a few reasons. This neutrally-scented spray is formulated to work with urine, drool, poop, and vomit on just about any surface, including bedding, car seats, fabrics, furniture, wood, floors, and carpets, and is also good for simply freshening up areas that have an “off” smell.

We particularly like the multipurpose use and convenience of this product. No mixing with water or scrubbing is necessary—for most areas, all you need to do is shake, spray, and wait for it to dry. In general, users have been suitably impressed by its efficacy, though it’s not the cheapest option out there.

At Catster, we’ve admired Hepper for many years and decided to take a controlling ownership interest, so that we could benefit from the outstanding designs of this cool cat company!

2. OUT! PetCare Advanced Stain & Odor Remover (2-Count) – Budget Buy

We consider the OUT! PetCare Advanced Stain & Odor Remover spray is a good enzymatic cleaner for cat pee if you’re on a budget because you get two 32-ounce bottles at a reasonable price. Better yet, the sprayer has a 3-in-1 function—mist, foam, and stream.

The brand uses its 3X Pro-Bacteria and Enzyme formula to tackle stubborn stains and smells and remove pheromones to help discourage pets from going back to the same spot to pee. It’s designed to work on both old stains and new ones. The majority of users left glowing feedback for this spray, but it’s not a good choice for you if you plan to use it on wool, silk, or leather.

3. TriNova Pet Stain & Odor Remover

TriNova’s Pet Stain & Odor Remover is one of the pricier options, but it has received mostly excellent reviews from users. It’s formulated with natural ingredients, which means no harsh chemicals and it can be used on water-safe surfaces like rugs, carpets, and upholstery.

It’s also designed for quick and efficient use—according to the instructions, you simply spray, wait for up to 5 minutes, then blot the area with a paper towel. This makes it a good option for fresh stains, though you may need to repeat the process a few times for older stains.

No specific scent is mentioned, but some users mentioned it smells quite strong, so you might not like it if you’re sensitive to strong fragrances. On the other hand, some loved the scent.

4. Simple Solution Pet Stain & Odor Remover

The USA-made, alcohol-based Simple Solution Pet Stain & Odor remover is an affordable, highly-reviewed enzyme spray that can be used on a variety of water-safe surfaces. It uses the 2X Pro-Bacteria & Enzymes formula for breaking down stains and neutralizing odors, and the spray nozzle has three functions—mist, foam, and stream, and each function targets different problems (foam for especially tough, embedded stains, for example).

User reviews praise this product’s functionality and efficacy, with many deeming it an excellent product overall. On the downside, some weren’t keen on the scent and described it as “overpowering”, but others loved it.

5. Shop Care Super Enzyme Pet Urine & Odor Destroyer

If a standard spray bottle simply won’t be enough, either for professional or home use, the Super Enzyme Urine & Odor Destroyer by Shop Care could be worth considering. This product comes in a wide variety of bottle sizes, ranging from 32 ounces to 5 gallons, and you can purchase the bottles in bundles of one or two. It’s very versatile and could be a good option for those who own facilities like shelters or boarding homes for cats.

User reviews for this product are largely positive, though some might prefer a different scent as it’s described as being quite strong. In addition, it’s pretty pricey compared to some of our other picks.

6. Nature’s Miracle Dual-Action Stain & Odor Remover Hard Floor Cleaner

Using certain products on hard floors can be nerve-wracking, so, if this is a problem for you, take a look at Nature’s Miracle Dual-Action Hard Floor Stain & Odor Remover. Made with bio-enzymatic agents and designed to protect your floor’s finish, this product is for linoleum, vinyl, ceramic tile, concrete, and sealed-wood floors.

Rinsing is not required—all you need to do is soak up excess liquid, apply the product, and then wipe the area. Satisfied customers have said that this stain and odor remover does a great job of eliminating smells without damaging hardwood floors. That said, some were disappointed with its stain-removal power.

7. Angry Orange Stain Remover Enzyme Cleaner

For those who are fans of a sweet, citrusy scent, the Angry Orange Stain Remover spray is formulated to remove tough stains, particularly those left behind by urine, poop, and vomit.

It’s made in the USA, is free of sulfates, peroxide, phthalates, parabens, and bleach, and is ideal for use on a wide variety of surfaces including wood floors. This makes it well worth considering for those looking for a multipurpose cleaner that can tackle various surfaces without damaging them (a spot test is still recommended, nevertheless).

As for this product’s reviews, many love the orange scent and have had an overall good experience with its stain-removal power, but some have said that it leaves behind a “lingering” scent that isn’t too pleasant. It’s also one of the more expensive options.

8. Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator

The Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator is a USA-made product that has received a large number of positive reviews from customers, with particular praise targeted at how effectively it removes stains and odors without leaving an unpleasant, chemical-like scent. On the other hand, some find the scent a tad overwhelming, while others say it doesn’t remove stains well.

This is another product that’s worth considering for those who want to get to work on multiple types of surfaces, including hardwood floors and outdoor areas. Though water-based, it may even be suitable for use on leather furniture, as Chewy explains in its customer questions section that this has worked for “many customers”.

9. Simple Green Cat Pet Stain & Odor Remover

One of our most affordable recommendations is the Simple Green Cat Stain & Odor Remover. To use it, you need to spray it on the affected area after soaking up excess liquid (or removing vomit, feces, etc.) and then scrub with a brush or cloth before vacuuming when dry (if applied to carpets). It can be applied to many different surface types, but not velvet, silk, or leather.

Positive user reviews indicate that this is an effective and pleasant-scented product, but the fact that you have to scrub this product onto the area may be inconvenient for those looking for a no-scrub option.

10. Sunny & Honey Pet Stain & Odor Miracle

For fans of a nice minty scent, this could be the enzyme cleaner you’re looking for, though you can buy this product in other scents—light lavender and fall spice. It’s made in the USA with a bio-enzymatic formula, essential oils, and non-toxic ingredients, and it’s biodegradable, so is an all-around environmentally friendly choice.

According to positive user reviews, this product has a pleasant scent and eliminates smells rather than simply masking them, though some said they had to use a fair bit of it to make this happen. It’s also relatively expensive compared with some others on this list.

Buyer’s Guide: Finding the Best Enzyme Cleaners Cat Urine & Odor

There are so many enzyme cleaners for cat urine on the market that it can be hard to know which one to purchase. Fortunately, you can look to see if a cleaner fits certain criteria to decide whether or not it will be suitable for your situation.

The first and most important thing to check for is if it’s pet-safe and non-toxic. Of course, you should never directly spray your cat with an enzyme cleaner, but pet enzyme cleaners should be safe to use around pets when used properly. Strong or chemical-based products, however, may not be, so it’s best to stick to a specially formulated pet enzyme cleaner.

The next thing to assess is how much of a product you need. If accidents are infrequent or you will just be using the product at home, a standard, 32-ounce bottle will likely be enough. If you run an establishment like a cat boarding facility or a grooming salon, you may need to crack out the big guns—bottles with a gallon of product or more.

When it comes to scent, some people aren’t picky, whereas others are sensitive to certain kinds of fragrances. Look for a product that isn’t going to make you gag every time you use it—checking user reviews online can give you an idea of how a product truly smells.

Finally, there’s the price to factor in. We are not going to lie, some enzyme cleaners are downright expensive. If your situation isn’t urgent and an expensive enzyme cleaner isn’t the only one left on the shelf, we recommend shopping around online to see if you can save a few pennies. Some highly-reviewed enzyme cleaners come in at under $10 and will last just as long.

Before we head to the conclusion, we’d just like to mention that if your cat is peeing frequently around your home, there may be a medical reason behind it, so it’s best to get them checked by a vet.
