Has anyone used this for getting pet dander out of the air? And if so did this work? (Moved into new apt, former tenants had a cat)

I have 2 cats and yes it does trap a lot of pet dander so good for allergies. It will not get rid of smells though so if the former tenant's cat left pee stains, this will not make the apartment smell any better.

Yes, you will be amazed at how this removes pet dander from the air. We had 3 dogs in our home for the weekend and when the additional 2 dogs arrived, this machine kicked into high gear as we have it set on automatic.

Answer here...not tha t I know of all of these products either clean surfaces or keep cats from resparaying. You may want to try one of the products for cleaning like the extra strong cleaner. It does kill odors and the reason your cat is scratching an area on the rug probably is because there is a smell that is attracting the cat. try the extra strong cleaner first. in any case it will clean very well.

Cindy I used the Feliway brand spray along with a Feliway plug-in atomizer in each room of my house... I have a large 2-story house! It was definitely worth it because the cat fights, spraying, etc. did stop!! the Feliway seemed to relax my cats. Now when I take any of my cats to the vet. I spray some of the Feliway aerosol inside the carrier to help them to relax during the trip! Some vets have the plug-ins in the room where they examine cats! It worked for me... good luck!

I use it everywhere....litter box, couch, air, etc....It really works well! Doesn't hurt the kitties either.

Yes, I also use a clump litter as well. That doesn't affect it at all. It traps any type of litter or dirt that may be on the cat's paws.

Hi. You would just need to drape it over the areas that you do not want the cat on. Just make sure that you understand that the unit will shock you as well if you come in contact with it.Thank you!

I use the Tidy Cat Breeze litter system, and it fits with room to spare, so it's not up against the entrance way where our dogs could reach in. I have a Ragdoll, so a good sized cat although she only weighs 10 lbs., and she has no problems using the cabinet and box at all. Looks great and works great. I have the cabinet right in my living room as a lamp table!

I used it near my sofa to avoid piss on my sofa legs, so my dog would stay away from the sofa surroundings. It worked, but my dog realised that after the mat was gone, he could get close and piss on my sofa legs again. I solved it placing the mat under my carpet. It is a heavy carpet, but placing it gently over the mat did not set it the alarm on, only when pressed. After the training time, I removed the alarm mat and my dog still was avoiding the sofa surroundings. So I think if your cushions are light, you could do it.

We live in Tampa. I use mine all the time. I have two (make that three now) cats and a bird, as well as having had three teens in the house. Mine works great for all of that, but like I said before, I don't use mine often on our two carpeted rooms. I use our Dyson for those because I have severe dust allergies and a canister vac just doesn't have the suction to get deep enough into the matresses or carpets to remove enough dust for my liking.

There is a brush that you can flip down to use. My cat uses a Littermate and her paws drop some litter when she leaps away. The vacuum and brush make her litter area clean. She doesn't shed like a dog does, so I haven't tested for this

The vacuum has a small container for the dirt. This may not stand up to your cat's mess. It works well for cleaning my carpet and hardwood floors but we have a small apartment. It is not a great expense, though. Perhaps, you should try it.

It seems that it might work in getting cats to scratch where you want them to. I have a carpet tower that three cats over the years have totally ignored. Now I've figured out how to find out if it works. I'll apply it to the tower!p.s. you might want to wait until this goes down in price or got to a vet office. Mine is selling these in single packets for a total of $1 each, including taxes, so the Amazon price isn't good now. I'll use single packs to see how it works and then consider the cost of other options. My cat has a vet visit in two weeks so I'll want one then.

It works best on furniture that moves when cat hops on it. I don't think it would work for you.

I don't have pets so I can't help with this, sorry. We used it for bugs in our apt.

I really haven't found anything this doesn't work on. After spraying directly on the source of odor ie rug pet bed etc. I would suggest placing it outside for a day. If it can't be moved outside, open windows and put a fan to push air in place. Fresh Wave will work, better than anything else we've tried, but you will need Fresh Air moving over and around to provide air-flow and disperse the odor(s). And it may take more than one or two applications for cat urine depending on the degree of intensity.

I bought it to repel aley cats from my driveway. There are some signs of diminished presence but I don't swear by the effectiveness of the gadget. It is supposed to cover a specific area, if your cats stay out I hope it works for the dog. Less poop to deal with is always nice.

No, but I do have this with a different system. I have a cat that sets this item off at 15-20 feet. This will work fine for you if you do not have pets, or if it can be installed without being in eye-site of the floor or counter tops. Another model is available if you have pets.
