is this good to use for pet 'smells' - not URINE - but PET - i.e., just plain doggy odor? similar to febreeze on carpets and upholstery??

I would not use it for just doggy odor. I would use something like NILodor's Natural Touch Original Deodorizer All-Purpose Cleaner, or biokleen Bac-Out Fresh, Natural Fabric Refresher, Lemon Thyme. Hope this answer helps

It is pretty good overall for all kinds of smells...it has a pleasant odor as well. The key to keep dogs smelling good is to brush them often and keep the areas where they lay free of old fur.

I really like the smell of it. It seems to not mask the smell, but really take it away. I think it's good stuff.

Yes it does eliminate odors and has a fresh clean smell afterwards! I use it on everything! I love it!! Even removes stains on clothes! (All I ever use anymore) Lambert Kay also has a product... Lambert Kay Fresh 'n Clean Deodorizing Upholstery and Fabric Refresher for Pets, 24oz (Pack of 2) you can also purchase thru Amazon ($13.98)...But I haven't tried this product yet. Hope this helps you 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.

No not only no h.ll no! It doesn't even do much for my carpet when dogs urinate! It's ok for spot but oil use baking soda and a broom! Old military trick

I've had trouble with one area in my house with cat urine from a previous tenant. This solution works pretty well. The smell will be gone for quite awhile and most of the time i don't notice it. I do typically go over it, for good measure, even when I cant smell it when I have to clean up one of the dogs messes and have solution left over. I think part of my problem is that the urine got on the tack strips which is why every once in awhile the smell will be noticeable.

I would think so, except you want to leave plenty in the carpet so it "eats" all the bacteria causing the odor. Don't dilute it! By the way, it works great on my carpet. If you've got a bright color or something, you might want to test in a small area.

Can't give you a definite answer. The bottle says it is for "washable surfaces and fabrics including upholstery". Use only on water washable items and surfaces. You must "saturate" the area and leave it wet. Then let it air dry. When "completely dry" wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface residue. I've found it has to soak into the stuffing or carpet padding in order to get rid of the smell.

From the brand's website: "Although we have heard of people using STINK FREE Instantly Urine Odor in carpet cleaning machines or in upholstery cleaning machines, you should check with the manufacturer of your particular machine for their recommendation."

I've only used it to spot wash on hardwood floors in my home and did not let it soak into the wood. I then did a very light rinse. It did fine. Of course, the type of wood and the finish makes a difference, I am sure. If it is a kennel floor and you just want the odor gone then I'd do a more soaking wash. I've used it in my washer with dog bedding and even on the clothes I wear while caring for my dogs too. I swear by the stuff.

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've used it for more health/beauty like for cleaning my face and to make a natural spray deodorant. However, like with many things, it has a lot of uses and it's worth a try on pet odors. As far as I know it will not bleach or stain carpets or fabrics but do a patch test first just to be safe! Good luck!

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.

Absolutely! This is the best odor eliminator around when it comes to pet odors!

I have never used steam on any kind of doggy stains, but I know a steam iron makes any smelly fabric awful. I have been using Zero Odor for years and it is the only one (I had tried them ALL previously) that really works and works forever with one application. Just know where the problem is and spray. I cannot say enough about Zero Odor. You can get it here on Amazon. I am simply a retired dog owner and not affiliated with any product. I'm not sure about removing any discoloration but it works amazingly well on any smell. Good luck.

We used this product to get rid of cat urine odor left behind on a sofa cushion; although we absorbed the "accident" with a towel while it was still wet, before saturating the cushion with this product. We have also used it to launder items (blankets, etc.) that had cat urine on them. There does not appear to be any sticky residue that remains and the odor was completely eliminated. This product has been a true MIRACLE for us. :-) Good luck!

Works great for sweat, mildew smell, and urine smell in clothing. I put about a tablespoon in the wash with stinky loads and do a prewash option. Works a lot better than oxyclean and doesn't damage my clothing (at least I can't see any damage, and I wash a lot of natural fibers on delicate).

Well I feel stupid because I never noticed the two different versions of this. I have been buying the pet urine one but will definitely get the cat one next time to see it if works better. My best guess (and this is from experience with both dog and cat pee) cat urine stinks up the house a lot worse than dog urine so possibly the cat urine product would be stronger and more effective on cat odors.

I heard that Oxyclean will ruin the hoses in any machine, so I wouldn't use it. I've used the plain Little Green with much success and there's also an oxygen-enhanced booster that's safe for carpet cleaners--forget the name though. The other user's suggestions about white vinegar/water will do the trick too for urine.
