I posted a comment to the recent "urine removal" thread, but wanted to
make an independant post, for googlers, on the topic.

We purchased a product called "Anti-Ickypoo" which, in addition to
removing urine odors, advertises itself as capable of removing the
smell of dead bodies. Good god.

After the very first light application, we could no longer smell the
cat pee. After two applications, the cat could still smell it and
marked again. However, this is a damn good product, and if one is
conscientious in its application, it is advertised to remove the smell
even for the hyper-sensitive cat nose, and I think it's possible.
We've had luck since then.

Other cleaning is necessary, but by god - our house went from an
overpowering haze of Louis-Pee to a fresh Minnesota Spring in one day.
It may be that Louis has some other triggers than smell to make him
spray, but this product certainly has made our house more liveable.

I've used Anti-icky Poo too. It was recommended by the veterinarian
behaviorist I consulted with about my cat who sprays. I found it to work
really well. The only problem I have with it is that I can't find it in
stores around me and had to order it directly from the website that offers
it and the guy I dealt with seemed kinda reluctant to ship such a small
order. So now I use Nature's Miracle which doesn't work as well but at
least I can find it at most pet stores.

Wonder if one of those expensive ionic air purifiers in you home would help?

I have one of those expensive ionic purifiers and while it does wonders with
other things if the house smells like cat pee it smells like cat pee until
you neutralize the enzymes in the spots.

It is also harming your lungs. Whatever you do, don't have any asthmatics
in your house. The EPA and the American Lung Association recommend
against these things. And they don't even clean on the molecular level,
as HEPAs do, so they do not even work well while they harm your
lungs.

People like them because they don't want to buy filters, but is it really
worth it?

I agree with Mary that they don't clean at a molecular level and they don't
collect the dust they state the do. While my ionizer does a great job of
ridding the house of garlic odors and other cooking smells like when Mike
burns pop corn. I still run 2 hepa filters up stairs where we sleep and
even have one down stairs in the living room along with ionizer.

I just feel and breath easier with a hepa filter running. Hepa filters are
a god send for me. As someone who developed awful allergies after my
transplant due to my immune system being compromised I would be truly
miserable and constantly sick if I didn't use them.

Hmm. This makes me wish I and my kitty were not asthmatics. Cooking smells
are hard to get rid of.

Don't you love the hummmmm of the hepa to sleep by? We use both
hepas and fans, though we have a good big AC unit. I just like the feel
of the fans and the sound of the hepas.

If you don't mind my asking, what sort of transplant did you have?
