Does this work on dried up old spots of cat urine? Do I need to wet the spot before I apply PDZ? I bought a house recently. The previous owners had cats and they left marks on floor ducts. When a/c comes on, the air smells awful. I sprinkled PDZ...

I'm sorry, I don't have the answer to your question. I used the PDZ on soil outdoors. However, you might try enzymes to remove the smell.

Fizzion absolutely does work to remove the pee smell. Perhaps the pee got between the boards and they are still smelling it? I soak the area and wipe it down, then soak it again and let it stand for a while. It might smell worse for a bit, but when it's dry the smell is gone. We have some naughty boys who also like to pee on a few fav. places. Fizzion doesn't say it will stop them from peeing, it says it will clean it up. Dogs pee once and they are done, a cat will remark a spot to be sure other cats know it's "theirs". Very irritating for sure! But all we can do is clean it up and get rid of the stink.

I run a small 501 c 3, PAWS. I use it for 12 cats. I remove the urine by pulling away the top layer of dry litter to get to the bottom where the litter is wet, I scoop out the wet, and cover it back over. I use Zero Odor, a squirt or two. I get it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. GREAT PRODUCT! I do this everyday for 18 litter boxes. You would never know I had even one cat, much less 12. I used to change it out every couple weeks, until the recession hit. Now I dump it completely (after removing urine and not refilling the last week) about every 6 months. I do wipe around the upper portion of the box with bacterial wipes once a week or so. Some cats don't like the smell of the wipes, mine don't have a problem. For one cat, and one box, you probably could just remove the urine every 2-3 days, however, I would definitely spray some Zero Odor once a day when you're removing solids. It's great stuff and doesn't leave all that horrible fine litter all over your floor. I have parrots too, and there is no dust with Yesterday's News, which is a much for birds in the area.

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...).

As on any spot, make sure to pretreat with one of Nature's Miracle for cat urine. Then cleaning area with a spray bottle mixture of hot water and shampoo as a temporary fix does work, but make sure to blot the area quite well removing as of as much dampness as possible. But truthfully the action of a rug cleaner is best and there are several "Spot cleaners" on the market that are affordable and work quite nicely. Spray bottles and a sponge just can't get as deep as the urine already had. Using a product to break down the urine is as important as this shampoo, they work hand and hand. But how well you use the shampoo makes all the difference. Again as a quick fix use by hand, but a machine is best. As on any spot, make sure to pretreat with one of Nature's Miracle for cat urine.

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

Can't answer this question as it has been a while since I purchased it. I do remember I didn't care for it and went back to using Nature's Miracle Cure for Cat Urine but I have an elderly, mentally ill , marking kitty so use a ton of the stuff. It gets rid of my cat's odor best. The fellow that hosts "My Cat From Hell" loves Fizzion Pet Stain & Odor remover. All I can tell you is that it was not right for me.

I wouldn't recommend that. I think it's best when it's used full strength for treating specific pee spots. If I have a large spot or several stained spots I use a carpet cleaning machine first, making sure I get all of the soap rinsed out well. Then I pour on the Natures Miracle full strength to neutralize the odor in the formerly stained spots.

Well, my dog doesn't have a marking problem, but my cat had a habit of peeing in the same place if for some reason she didn't want to use the litter box or access to the litter box was blocked, and I feel pretty confident that this removes all trace because after I started using this she stopped going back to the same spot and started using her box again. Before I was cleaning the floor up with just about every cleaning solution you can imagine and it didn't seem to help, she'd just keep returning to the scene of the crime. As for the smell, it smells like a mild cleaning solution. It definitely isn't terrible, I've never been bothered by it.

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.

Hi Jackie,My 2 cats had begun to pee on my bed and a couch in my den, which was very frustrating. I purchased this and an extra collar. It works great. I also recently purchased an extra disk for the couch in my den. This has been a lifesaver. Also, PetSmart sells enzyme pet urine removers, which is also a great product. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Yes it should! You must however clean area immediately which is hard sometimes! Absorb all urine and clean as usual spray and let sit then wipe off as directed. Do this twice if you have to! Definitely works better on tile however my dog marked her territory on my daughters carpet after my parents had left( they were staying in their room) I caught it right away before it absorbed all the way through carpet and cleaned and sanitized and sprayed the enzyme cleaner. No smell at all and I mean it!! I would rip it up if my daughters room smelled like dog pee!! Again catch right away clean sanitize and then use enzyme cleaner. Should work wonders Yes it should!

I haven't tried it on cat urine (although I have cats.) I have had great success and am very happy with a product called Anti Icky Poo (seriously) on cat spray - it's on Amazon too...

A neighborhood cat sprayed the inside of my car (!@#%&*!) and I made a solutions of 1 capfull mirazyme and 6 oz water, used spray bottle to saturate area, let dry, repeated 4 times, finally the smell was gone. On very hot days when my car is in the sun a faint smell returns but for the most part it worked.

Pee is stinky but invisible. My 3 cats puke food, grass, whatever in chunks. That's visible. Once cleaned up, shouldn't stink. Pee does! Two arm chairs, loveseat to the transfer station, perimeter of family room carpet, new loveseat peed twice in 6 months, bottom edge of living room shears cleaned, carpet cleaned twice. Last straw, laying in bed, cat comes for pets and pees all over Spouse and bed. Banned to garage and yard forever!

I had an older stain from a previous pet that only would smell when you close the door on the room for an extended period of time. The black light showed what i suspect are old urine spots on the carpet. These spots were noticeable fainter than the newer (last month or so) spot of former cat puke i checked. Sunglasses/eye protection as they recommend definitely helped make the stains stand out.

It works fairly well on cat urine odor which is usually much stronger than dog urine. I still notice some cat urine odor from my carpet, but others don't appear to have as senitive a nose as I do and they can't smell it. It's the best product I've found to date.
