Urine Off

[Tambrey]

Okay...I have a cat who is wanting to go in the SAME place on the carpet, even though I have sprayed it with NM, and steam cleaned it with a pet odor cleaner...

so I searched online and found this Urine-Off and am going to be going to Omaha on Friday anyways, and there is two places there that sell it...I am getting some to try...I have to do something!!

And it says it even works on OLD urine stains/smells...we shall see...

I'd be curious to know the results. Good luck.

At $20 a bottle that stuff better work!

Like Cleo says, let us know! My cat is a darling and usually well-behaved, but some time in the last couple of years he peed in the little storage closet under the stairs... no telling why.) I've sprayed with disinfectant, freshener etc. etc.... for awhile the odor seems better, then a more faint but still definite urine reek comes back - although I do not allow cat in there anymore. The room outside the closet has new (1998) ceramic tile, but the floor inside the closet is ancient asphalt tile, perhaps from when this part of the house was built (circa 1946 - was asphalt tile available then? I don't remember.) I'm willing to pay $20 if the stuff works.

I will let you know...I am hoping too, that at the price it is, it works!!...And it would still be less expensive than replacing a floor!!

We have original wood floors, the dining room and living room already had to be torn out due to past owners and urine problems...so if I can save the halls and stairs, I would be thrilled to death!!...because even though it is years old, and I have used so many cleaners on it...there is still that lingering odor, and of course it will attract my cats...grrrrr...

And then there is the occassional accident on the carpet, and so on...

Well, after almost a year of debating, I bought some today...it is guaranteed to the bottom of the bottle, and the ladies at the carpet store said it worked...one had used it at home and she said even after the high humidity we have had, she did not notice the smell...

I have a few tough spots that I am going to treat before going to bed tonight

[Tambrey]

IT WORKS!!

I found places that cats had sprayed on the walls...faint, but still there, so I squirted them and they literally ran down the wall, and I just wiped them away...
I came down this morning to NO SMELL...

Well worth what I spent on the spray bottle and their blacklight...it is battery operated and only about 6 inches long, so easy to carry around...

That's great to know.

Surprisingly enough... I have a bar of herbal lavender soap. When I was cleaning out Izzy's litterbox the other day (we had tried a new litter, and it ended up sticking horribly to the sides of the box, so it needed the total scrub-down) she apparently decided she just HAD to go... and ended up going on some of my clothes. I just wanted to get the majority of it out so it didn't stain or anything, and all I had handy was the lavender soap... and wouldn't ya know, it took the smell right out! I never would have thought that lavender soap would neutralize the ammonia, but in small quantities, it worked perfectly.

Just to pass that along to everyone; someone else might find it useful. And it's not a lavender fragrance or anything, it's hand-made soap with actual little chunks of lavender in it. You can find similiar things at anywhere that sells herbal bath and body products.

normal-standard-traci-disclaimer Tambrey, just use care, it's an emulsion with citrus extracts. Try to keep cats away from the areas until completely rinsed and dried.

Can you post back on this in a month, let us know if the odors returned in the areas you treated?

[Tambrey]

yes, it has right in the instructions to NOT use it around your pets...

I will post back...we are expecting more rain and humid days, so we will see THEN how it REALLY works...

but the girls at the place I got it from gave it high ratings...one had used ti at home with an incontinent dog, and she said this past week, when humidity was really bad, there was NOT an odor at all...
