Show Download Article The smell of cat urine is strong and unpleasant, but the stains can sometimes be hard to find! Luckily, you don’t have to rely on your nose alone to help you find the source of the odor. Instead, try using a UV light, also known as a black light. If you shine the light in a dark room, cat urine will glow yellow or green, making it easy to see exactly where you need to clean. Once you find the spot, neutralize the urine with an enzyme cleaner!
