\"\"Dr Kim spent a month (and used several cups of her own cat’s pee on pee pads) to test the claims of odour removal from about 15 products, plus many of the suggestions found online. Nothing really gets rid of the urobillinogen (yellow colouring of urine) once it has really set, so quicker action is better re stains.\u00a0 The other interesting thing uncovered – several products worked well on the first day or two but the smell returned by day 4 – 6. Probably due to the re-formation of ammonia salts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CLEAR WINNER<\/strong>\u00a0– For ease of appliCATion plus removing both dried pee and fresh pee smells, both when when wet and after drying the test material – was (drum roll)
\nHydrogen Peroxide 3%<\/strong>! It did not seem to bleach wool nor acrylic carpets (also tested).\u00a0 Does need to be used in the approximate same volume as the urine (often 50 – 60 mls per bladder emptying event so be generous!). Leave for 10 – 15 minutes, It will disperse, so the next step is to be careful not to spread it too far:\u00a0 Use a wet-dry vacc to suck back all the liquid, or clean dry towels and gently press to absorb liquid back.\u00a0 Dr Kim also recommends leaving a dry towel with a book on top of it for a few hours as well, to allow capillary action to draw more out. Can also be used on wood (VERY nasty smelling as the urine gets bubbled out of the crevices) without bleaching,\u00a0 Solid, non-porous surfaces are fairly easy to clean anyway, a mild detergent to get up the stickiness, then hydrogen peroxide over the top, and wipe up then rinse area again with water then wipe (recommend not using mop – if the pee smell gets into the mop it will spread to other places!).\u00a0No need for baking soda nor detergent additions. H2O2 does the work.<\/p>\n

Other solutions –
\nBiozet powder (only) 1 tablespoon in 1 litre water, soak 2 hours, sop up and apply 100% metholated spirits (leave on)\u00a0<\/strong>– this is our original tried-and-true method. Must use a significant amount of Biozet liquid and use either a wet-dry vacc or towel sopping up before using the meths.\u00a0 Definitely need to check for colour fastness.\u00a0 The Biozet method on its own did work but only 4 – 6 days later, if meths not used.
\nYoung Living\u00a0R<\/sup>\u00a0 “Thieves” – diluted 0.01% in water AFTER Biozet treatment (leave Thieves on)\u00a0<\/strong>– patented product, effect might be due to the cloves, but does leave a nice smell as well as eliminating the pee smell.
\nRugDoctor\u00a0R<\/sup>\u00a05% –\u00a0<\/strong>designed to go in wet-dry vacc but does need the area pretreated\u00a0with Biozet powder-in-liquid pretreatment<\/strong>\u00a0as above and then wet-vacc’d dry afterwards.
\nEndurocide<\/strong>R<\/sup>\u00a0after Biozet powder-in-liquid pretreatment\u00a0as above –\u00a0<\/strong>leave in place.
\nUrine Off\u00a0R\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>after\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Biozet powder-in-liquid pretreatment\u00a0as above\u00a0<\/strong>– better if mopped out with towel as above.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DiSan and Oxygen\u00a0R<\/sup>\u00a0<\/strong>– need the same amount as the postulated pee volume, does work without mopping up nor Biozet,\u00a0very useful for small patches.
\nPeerless\u00a0R<\/sup>\u00a0<\/strong>– <\/span>as above – need the same amount as the postulated pee volume, does work without mopping up nor Biozet, very useful for small patches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, Dr Kim trialled many other products, but if they aren’t mentioned here then they failed to impress.
\nMany thanks to Fiona and Ariel for sniff testing the pee-pads. Real devotion to duty and science.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
