I currently am a soldier stationed in Germany and the stores around here don’t have anything to remove pet odors and stains from furniture. I have a party planned next weekend for friends returning from Iraq….HELP!
No there is no Glade Pet Fresh or anything like that around here. I had expected to find something at the store, but to my surprise…. nothing for pet odors and no time to order cleaner online because it would take 2-3 weeks to arrive.
I have been told white vinegar or ammonia. I tried them both when I had a cat that was "marking" and it didn’t last. It would smell better at first but the smell would come back. Someone told me it was because it was cat urine and that was a lot worse than dog urine? Can you get like Glade Pet Fresh? The powder or the spray is really good at getting just regular ol dog smell out.
I read on the bottle of the of pet stain remover that after you use it to clean up your pets little accident and remove the odor, it will actually deter them from peeing in that same spot again.
So my question is, if I buy a bottle and spray a coat all over the new carpet I am getting, will they just not ever pee on it to begin with?
No. When your pet has an accident, a smell is left that marks that spot as a good place to poop or pee. What the pet odor remover does is remove that smell, not repel the animal.
The best way to prevent them from ever peeing on the carpet to begin with is to be VERY scrupulous about keeping the litter box clean. If possible, give each cat their own box, or at very least have one for every two cats. Clean your litter box(es) at least once a day, preferably twice, and change out the litter regularly.
Clumping cat litter is best IMO. Not only is it easier on kitty paws, but because the pee is removed completely when you clean the box, the litter stays cleaner and you don’t have to change it as often.
There’s three main things that make a cat pee outside the box: 1) a dirty/unpleasant litter box (many cats don’t like those covered litter boxes or perfumed litters) 2) an unpleasant experience that the cat associates with the box (like another cat attacking them) or 3) territorial marking (usually males spraying on walls, curtains, furniture, etc – neutering usually fixes that in males).
stain remover and cleaner which can be helpful to remove stains of cats and dogs
you can try for most reliable pet stain remover of crypton. I heard that it removes odour and stain together irrespective of type of stain. i can blindly recommend you crypton stain removers. Know more from http://cryptoncare.com/dog-stain-odor-remover.aspx
This is one of those fold up papason chairs but it can not be washed. The cover does not come off. We have had it for only a couple of days. So far I have tried cleaning it with fabric cleaner, pet stain & odor remover, carpet shampoo, febreeze, Lysol, fabric freashener, I am out of ideas…anyone have another idea of how to get rid of the smell? We can’t return it and no I will not do something mean to my cat so please don’t say that. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for helping us out.
Try white vinegar. Its one of the best cleaners on the market. I have nine cats so I know what I am talking about. It can also be used to clean counters and floors. In the summer it stops ants and flies from coming in the house.
I’ve recently been potty training two dogs and they’ve had many accidents and my house is starting to smell not so pleasant. I’ve been using soap and water but I’ve heard that there are special pet odor removers. That are suppose to get rid of the smell completely so that even the dog won’t go back to that spot and use the bathroom again. I was wondering what brands are the best and where I can get them from. Thanks.
Nature’s Miracle works every time I use it for all of my animals to clean their cages to clean up accidents everything most people don’t even know I have pets until they see them.
have a 900.sq ft condo. I am going to rent a Rug Doctor to clean the carpet in my hallway,my living room and my bedroom. I have a 3 yr old shih tzu who has unfortunately, peed on the carpet and has had an accident or two in the bedroom.
I plan on using the wide trac machine, seems faster..Any helpful hints/tips ,please? I’m also thinking I should buy their odor remover bio enzyme technology to put in the machine and oxy steam cleaning solution? Any helpful tips… if you have ever tried to clean your carpets before due to pets, would be helpful and appreciated!
Get the pet stain and odor remover from the pet dept of the grocery store or walmart. Use that on all the stains 24 hrs before using the rug dr. After cleaning the carpet go over it again with 25/75% white vinegar($2.50 gal in grocery store)and hot water. This will eliminate odors and get rid of any residue on the carpet.
Follow the directions on the pet stain and odor remover. It contains enzymes that "eat" the pet urine. Be sure to let it soak into the padding.
I hosed out the carpet really well and then dried it all. I then put lots of pet odor remover and also febreeze. It does not smell awful but you can still smell it. I would just like some advice on how to fix this.
You need a cleaner with enzymes. If it still smells bad then try a professional detail shop.
i’ve been using hartz pet stain& odor remover but he still pees in the same place every day and i’ve found that he’s peed on my bed twice.
take him out for a walk might be a good idea….
My cat peed on my carpet and on the baseboard. I rented a carpet cleaner and also a pet enzyme odor remover. The smell is still there any suggestions would be appreciated.
It will ALWAYS be there. Sorry. Nothing will get rid of it alltogether!!!!!!!
The cat can still smell it too and MAY go there again!!!!
Has anyone’s carpet actually been ruined by vinegar? Also, I heard that Stink Free Instantly works. Does anyone know anything about it? My carpet reeks and I have used an odor and stain remover 4 times and it hasn’t worked at all.
To remove the smell of urine from just about anything, first clean it with some sort of soap or kitchen cleaner. Then clean it with lemon juice. If you don’t like the smell of lemon juice follow it up with a little bit of vanilla extract. One of the most effective formulas I’ve found for removing ANY odor was from Popular Science Magazine. Mix 1 quart of Hydrogen Peroxide, with 1/4 cup of Baking Soda, and one tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. Saturate the affected area, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and the smell is gone. This is non-toxic and safe for your animals and children, and those with allergies. This is especially helpful for removing skunk odor from your outdoor animals. As always, test a small portion of fabric for color fastness, before treating a large area.
What Won’t Work… There are many home remedies for treating pet stains and odors, and let me stress that most of them are not too bad as far as removing odors for humans’ noses. Vinegar, ammonia, baking soda, laundry detergents, lemon juice, fabric softeners, and commercial strength pet stain removers are all great for removing the odors that humans can smell. However; you will need more to remove the odor for your cat’s nose. An enzymatic cleaner is the best answer, but it is slow and may take more than one application. (Nature’s Miracle is one of them.) The Hydrogen Peroxide/Baking Soda combo is fast, but can alter the colors of some fabrics. In the end, you must decide which application is best for your situation.
Even if you clean a pet stain with soap and water certain micro-organisms remain behind and your pet can smell them. Enzymatic Cleaners are designed to completely eliminate the source of the odor by using enzymes to eat away the micro-organisms that cause the odor. The one drawback to these cleaners is that they are slow; it could take several weeks for them to completely eliminate an odor. Enzymantic Cleaners are available at most pet stores, organic/natural/health food stores, and even some hardware stores. You can also ask your vet for suppliers.
