Getting rid of cat urine smell....

Have a look in Yellow Pages or Yell.com for Janitorial Supplies in your local area. Almost all of them stock the 'Prochem' range.

What you want is a product called Prochem Odour Neutraliser, a litre bottle is about £12 and dilutes enough to do a whole house.

This is what pro carpet cleaners use in old peoples homes....

|The house we've moved into and are renovating used to have a |self-contained flat on the 1st floor which was lived in by an old |cat-loving lady who obviously had *no* sense of smell whatsoever, and |we are guessing that she welcomed all and sundry local felines in |regularly, since all the numerous local cats regularly try to get in. | |Basically these cats have p****d all over the lower walls and skirting |board of the flat, and it initially smelt so bad that I could hardly |breathe up there. | |The walls have a waist-height dado rail and anaglypta below. We've |stripped the anaglypta back to the plaster, and scrubbed the plaster |underneath with sugar-soap, but one patch in particular still reeks |quite badly. I'm assuming the cat pee/spray has somehow soaked in. | |Can anyone suggest a method to try and de-odorise the walls? Is there |anything better than sugar-soap to use?

Thanks Dave- will try and pick some up next week.

It depends on your genes if you can smell cat spray or not; those that can find it a very strong smell, others can't smell it at all.

OTOH, most people can smell stale urine, but that might not have come from the cats at all.

hehe... and there was me blaming the cats... :)

Strong UV light will show location of uric acid crystals. Will need to look closely to see them.

Can be quite hard to wash away and usually needed masking with fragrance.

So why do they still smell?

I'd like something to repel our local Mog from Spouse's scooter, which it sprays all the time. Renardine worked for a time but Puss obviously saw it as a challenge eventually.

I'd kill it if could catch it.

Wash the scooter in *biological* washing powder dissolved in water. The moggy is claiming the scooter as its property.

Tried a super soaker? Few blasts when ever it comes near and it'll soon learn to avoid.

That would certainly work. But it comes in the night when I'm in the arms of Morpheus.

That is, Spouse.

Why not just chop out the particularly offensive plaster? Neutradol is pretty good for dispersing pet smells.

PIR detector + electric pump + sprinkler jets = soggy moggy :-)

How about one of the automatic "super soakers" then?

The carpet cleaners or the old peoples homes? Dave

Use a pressure washer.

Also soggy bike ...

Mary

Either.

So *that's* his name :-)
