Anyone try on clothing? If I'm removing fecal and urine odors from cloth, should I use this or the regular NM?

if its cat urine or I would certainly use the one specifically for cat urine. Depending on the amount of urine an dhow long before washing you may want to soak it in the NM and some good detergent beforehand.

I have never used the other kind of Nature's Miracle. But to take out those particular smells, I would use Just for Cats. I have used it on clothing and it didn't hurt the fabric at all (cotton fabric) and the smell was gone, but with fabrics, I always spray this on, let it sit for a couple of hours, then wash it in warm water with Tide. (Is it okay to say that? :) ) The smell has always come out. 'Hope this is helpful!

I had a disabled, incontinent cat. She had her own living area, covered with whelping mats, which I washed in "NoRoma Industrial Odor Eliminating Laundry Wash" (available on Amazon). It is expensive, but works wonderfully. I set the washer for the longest cycle possible (cold-water wash). You need to use the full amount suggested, even in a front-loading washer.

I Haven't Been Using My Potty Lately, But I Did Use A Deodorizer--Don't Remember Which One. It Was Blue, And Contained Formaldehyde. It Definitely Worked.

Bruce - just hang your hunting clothes, including socks (not underwear) in the garage and spray them until damp (not soaked) with the permetherin let dry for couple hours. There is no scent and it repels for like 6 washings after application. Its good stuff!!

Norwex has silver embedded in it that helps kill bacteria. E-cloth doesn't, so I assume you need to wash it frequently.

Had to look that one up: "Code S fabrics include organic fibers such as cotton, rayon, linen, wool, silk along with denim, velour, damask, etc. These fabrics should be cleaned with Solvent-based cleaners." I used it once on a cotton shirt with no problem BUT I think most of the time I used it was on rugs.. is rug cleaner solvent based? Guess so by the smell but test on a hidden area first. Wouldn't rugs be W: "Code W refers to fabrics that are man-made such as polyester, nylon, herculon, acetate and olefin. These fabrics can be cleaned with Water-based cleaners."

I put a little in (about 1/2 a teaspoon) along with my laundry detergent. It helps get rid of odors and bacteria.

I have gotten it on my clothing but it came right out with regular washing. Wasn't a problem for me but I don't wear many dry-clean only fabrics so can't speak to those.

You can do both, either way it works perfectly in removing stains and keeping your clothes clear and smelling fresh.But to maximize usage, I recommend this be mixed with 1 cup of washing soda, 1 cup borax and shaved bar of Fels Naptha , mix thoroughly and ready to use. Cheaper and more concentrated but does not hurt nor discolored your clothes. Amazon has great sale for both (box of Borax and Washing Soda) and I usually ordered from them when I ran out. Helps with my budget too.

Not sure. But on another note, any poop smell you deal with should leave after 2 or 3 applications. Urine is a sharper odor to tackle. Good luck...

I'm sensitive to most organic cotton and can't wear it if there's a smell. There was only a 'line dry' smell to it (I think it was line dried, literally), which I am sensitive to, but after sticking between a hand towel w/ a little of my detergent and water for a day, then doing it w/ plain water the next day, I had no problem and have been using it for 5 months now. :)

It's a huge misconception that meconium is bad for cloth. It is no problem to wash out provided you have a good wash routine (ie. aren't using 2-3 tbsp of detergent which won't get anything cleaned properly anyway, meconium or not).

HE? This detergent makes clothes smell SOOO good, even after they've been hanging in your closet for a little while. I suggest to buy the bigger bottles though....if you can find a good bargain on it! :)

I think that all of them do leave a smell in your clothes. Not so much in the bathroom... I just use Bath and Body lotion to cover the smell and I use dryer sheets for my clot g es. I'm afraid I have gotten used to the smell.

I use vinegar and regular laundry soap to kill the urine smell. Then I rewash in Dreft.

I don't use this for my regular laundry much, just cloth diapers. I use it to remove detergent and ammonia build up and it works like a dream. It does a great job on my white towels but was not able to get old dingy marks that get left behind the hand towels. Honestly, your best bet would be to fill a squirt bottle with half lemon juice half white vinegar 9% if you can get it, and spray the spots all over saturating them and set them in direct sunlight all day maybe even 2 days. Then was again with detergent and oxyclean. if you have hard water and you don't treat it, be sure to add calgon or just 1/4 C regular salt. That should get out the sweat stains. This works on pit stains in undershirts as well.

Fresh Step, the basic one with odor shield has worked the best for us. The fresh Step Extreme was messy and hardened under urine stalling the LitterMaid leading to more frequent cleanings.
