I have not been able to get rid of cat urine odor on hardwood floors. Mixed Fizzion the way it said too. Any suggestions?

I have a cat to peed on both front and back doors cause cats were out side. I just kept spraying it t both doors inside and out like 3 times a week. The first time i used it, i soaked the area with the fizzion and stepped on it with old towels to remove as much as i could. I bought two sets of this stuff and we don't have a problem with Cheyenne an ymore

Hardwood floors are difficult, because the urine soaks in to the porous wood. FON spray might work on the odor. You may have too sand, refinish, and seal the floors to remove the odor. You could also increase the concentration of the fizzion.

Hardwood floors are tough. The urine probably seeped between the boards. The other issue is having the water sit on the hardwood any lenght of time could harm the finish. I would try several shorter applications followed by fresh floor wax to seal up the cracks. I just haven't found anything else that actually kills the oder like fizzion, but the key is to keep it in contact with the oder area as long as possible. I also don't mix it with quite as much water as they recommend. Hope this helps.

hmmm. i'm no professional, but since it's hardwood, you might have to sand it out. I'm thinking it's pretty soaked in there. and to "unsoak' it with more liquid will probably trash it. Is the pee in a super visible place? I was thinking maybe you could spray some Fizzion on, then sprinkle it with baking soda or borax, maybe, to suck up the Fizzion and with luck, the cat pee also. But, I have NO IDEA if this will do something crazy to the floor. I'm curious now, I think I'll have to go online and see if someone has come up with a solution! Good luck!

Hey, I scrounged around the internet...hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar come up a lot. One lady said after she poured the hydrogen peroxide on the pee area, it bubbled up all gross and such, then she wiped it with paper towels or whatever. Another person mentioned the baking soda treatment after the peroxide/vinegar step, then vacuuming it after it dries. A trick our vet taught us when one of our cats went on a peeing tear, was a regular flat pan litter box with a pee pad, put on or near the spot. Assuming it's not right smack in the middle of the floor or in a pathway or something. I was always able to position furniture to where I didn't have to look at it all the time. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Sorry... I have dogs only. I did notice that Fizzion works best on NEW dog stains but NOT well on set-in stainsGood luck!

I bought this for pet odors and was disappointed by its ineffectiveness. I haven't tried it on mold and mildew yet, but would hope it would do a better job than with the cat urine (which I guess nothing can remove...).

I live in Republic of Ireland and run a boarding cattery without access to a wide range of these products. Our problem in the boarding cattery is that some cats pee in the unit and it seeps because they are not sealed - design fault - , thus it's a matter of trying to get the product into the gap. We haven't found anything that works perfectly, because the products can't reach, but Fizzion is as good as anything else, the smell always lingers anyway. I am fascinated that you have your litter tray on carpet, could you move it to a washable surface, because the products don't get the smell out completely, the cats will keep doing what they are doing. Maybe a waterproof bed sheet?

I think that's more of a issue of what cleaning liquid you use. If the odor is still there, so is the urine (you just can't see it - sorry). I've used this with the pet stain cleaner that came with it and I don't detect an odor anymore. I loaned the cleaner and the cleaning solution to my neighbor and she says the odor in her house is gone, too. YMMV

I had an issue with a cat peeing in inappropriate areas - I tried this product - it was OK - just spray and saturate area and then let it dry. Personally I use anti-icky poo spray now first and then my favorite called Zero Odor next. That combo gets everything clean and smelling nice.

Hi April This would be the unit that help eliminate the worst of the urine smells ozone is a great oxidizer. There is some things to know to help you with this problem I have been in the carpet cleaning business for over 40 years. So if you have carpet you should have it cleaned first to remove most of the urine steam truck mount should be your best bet on powerful deep down urine removal. There also is a difference if it is a cat or dog. Cats have a stronger urine then a dog and that is from the kind of food cats eat. Now you should have the purifier in the room with the worst urine odor that will help the odor for migrating to other parts of the house. I also can give you more ideas of thing you can do so if you would like a more personal assessment of your problem just give me a toll free call . 800-868-5534 I do take call just about anytime even on Sundays thanks Lou hope I was of some help.

Leave it alone....this product uses enzymes that work afterward, leaving a smell for a day or two if its too badly saturated with urine, but the smell WILL go away after it finishes eating at the "mess" (literally). I have used Nature's Miracle on an apartment I was cleaning that had badly soaked carpets, and the day after, you could barely walk into the house, because the odor of the urine and an "alcohol smell" that is a byproduct of the enzymes doing their work, but after the second day, ALL of the smell was gone, and the carpets looked like new. This stuff works, but people need to know, this is ENZYME based, not chemical or soap based, so it takes TIME to do its job, but it WILL do it, and do it well. Think of enzymes as little critters that live off of urine, blood, and feces, and will eat and eat until they have nothing else to eat. After a couple of days, you can clean the carpets again to get rid of any remaining traces that may be left, but if you don't give this stuff time to do what it does, you are just wasting your money (like the guy that called in the "pros" afterward...all they did was soak up the enzymes that were already doing their job, then probably putting more on there along with some sort of chemical deodorizer that seals the urine into the carpet and padding so you couldn't smell it, which in return, will not allow enzymes or anything else from that point on to remove what urine they sealed in). So...use this stuff, then, LET IT SIT AND DO ITS JOB, even if its for a couple of days, it will work, DO NOT RINSE, after a few days, re-clean the carpet if you like, but don't do it BEFORE ITS DONE WORKING!! The added smell means its doing its job, not that it didn't.

IMHO........No!!!! This unit is not robust enough to eliminate the stench of cat urine. I switched from a traditional cat box to a Tidy Cat Breeze litter box that utilizes special pellets and absorbent pads. I find it very, very effective at controlling odors.

It would definitely be worth a try . One thing to remember , as the urine enzymes are being removed , they will emit a smell . It may take daus or weeks for all the enzymes to be removed . So don't get too stressed out about that. Depending on how much is in the mattress , it could need another treatment. After it has completely dried , sprinkle with baking soda to help absorb any reaming smell . Good luck , and let me know how it turns out .

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.

The baking soda acts as a powerful odor neutralizer, but there is also a strong fresh scent added (along the lines of laundry detergent or fabric softener). This combination eliminates the cat urine odor (if the litter box is reasonably maintained, of course).

My issue was cat urine on concrete, which wasn't stained since I always tried to clean up the mess asap. So I'm not sure about it's usefulness on stains.

I'm seeing a number of products that address urine, but my cats are defecating under a bed, on the carpet, but use their boxes for urination. Will this product help with the defecation odor? Shoot, I meant this as a question, not an answer!

It will probably help. The thing you're probably overlooking is the "depth" of the smell. The urine probably soaked through the carpet and into the padding. You'll need to pull the carpet back from the nearest edge and roll it back over itself. You'll probably see the old stain on the back side. Treat the padding (or replace it) and the back side of the carpet. Nature's Miracle is very effective because it destroys the source of the odor, it doesn't just mask it.

I have found Nok Out to be very effective, although I imagine it depends on how strong the odor is. I would check out their website: http://www.nokout.com/home.php I have used Nok-Out on male cat urine and feces and found it extremely helpful.

First, it depends on what you are trying to clean. If it's carpet, beds, etc., soak the area completely. It is an enzyme and it will work. Let the Urine Off dry, then clean with a cleaner you can live with to smell...for example, I first dampen the area with warm water, then I use Woolite Spray Carpet cleaner. You can also use any other type of cleaner. I use an old fashioned scrub brush to make sure the cleaning gets down into the area. Let it dry again, and you should not have problems. It's important to dilute the enzymes you placed in the carpet down until they no longer are the major source of moisture in that has been place in the carpet. I use about the same amount of warm water as I used of the enzymes. Then spray the carpet with the carpet cleaner and scrub. Let dry again, and that should do it.

No, not at all, I think the cat litter brand helps a lot - my last one was awful, so i changed to a mix of Ever Clean extra strength unscented - and feline pine. Much better than the last one I was using which stank!
