How do you get the ammonia smell out of cat pee? Like in the litter box?

When my cat pees it smells like ammonia. I can't seem to get this smell out no matter what I do or how often I clean it. Any suggestions or home remedies?
Answers:
I have three female cats at home and use one litter box for all three. I do scoop it everyday and use Arm and Hammer cat litter. I have used other brands but they don鈥檛 do as good a job as Arm and Hammer. Also, once a week, after I scoop out the litter, I take the litter box and wash it with soap, rinse, dry and put the clean cat litter back inside. I keep the cat litter box in the half bath downstairs and it never smells bad in there. Is your cat a male or a female? If it's a male, maybe he is spraying your furniture or peeing in other places outside the litter box and that's what's causing the smell. If that鈥檚 the case, there are several reasons why a cat may pee outside the litter box. The best thing to do is to take the cat to the vet because he or she could have a urinary tract infection that can make urination painful. If the cat is associating the pain with the litter box, then he or she will try to avoid it and will pee elsewhere in the home.

fabreze..

bleach mixed with water.....about 1/3 bleach 2/3 water and scrub hard

No fabrese, baking soda. just sprinkle a little in. Or use that "arm and Hammer" kitty litter deoderizer. That stuff really works! If your cats urine really smells that bad, he may have a urinary tract or bladder infection. You may want to visit the vet. Try a different cat litter.

I think they have certain litter that is supposed to make you not smell anything. Or I think they have sprays and stuff at pet stores.

what i do to make the smell stop is baking soda, like the arm and hammer stuff and it kills the smell, and it helps alot!! trust me i do it with my cats litter box.

Try a scoopable litter - the pee will form into clumps, which you can scoop out of the box %26 dispose of twice daily. That should solve the odor problem. If the box itself smells of pee, it may have absorbed the odor %26 need to be replaced. When you buy a new box, before you fill it with fresh litter, spray it with this: http://www.stinkfreedirect.com/stink-fre...

See this page on how to maintain %26 spot-clean your litterbox to keep odor at bay:

After you spot-clean an area, spray it again with the stink-free spray.

Another option would be to try an ammonia-neutralizing litter such as Feline Pine: http://www.naturesearth.com/
The pellets turn to sawdust as they absorb urine, so be sure to change the box when it becomes more than 50% sawdust for maximum odor control. The only drawback to feline pine is that some cats dislike the texture %26 will not use it. If you want to try it, follow the mixing instructions on the bag carefully to maximize the chances that your cat will take to it.

Hope this helps!
