Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2003How to clean smell from (ugh!) non-box sh.t/pee area (4ft x 8ft)?
ok -- have been keeping cat locked into (large) room with adjoining bathroom, where cat-box is. While locked up, and *only* while locked up, he does indeed use the cat box. Maybe 4 days thus far. QUESTION: how to clean-smells from the "illegal" place he had, maybe three weeks ago, start using. (Really stinks, from up close). Advice received here said we had to remove *all* smell from that area before letting cat get near again. Methods? (1) baking power sprinkled over that 4x8 area. (and then vacuum) (2) Sprinkle (lots of?) "Nature's Cure" (Is that the name -- Natures something) over the area. QUESTION: where to (not so expensively) get LOTS of that stuff, like by the gallon? Right now, we get it from the nearby grocery store, which, only from time to time, will have maybe ONE bottle (pint?) of the stuff, for three or five dollars or something. Gets used up *fast* -- need source of large quantity of it *or* something like it. Thanks! David >ok -- have been keeping cat locked into (large) room >with adjoining bathroom, where cat-box is.

Amazing. Thanks David Use Petzyme Cat Spray and Odor remover. It is available at Petsmart and costs about $11-$12 for a gallon. It works much better than Nature's Miracle.

David Also, cat pee glows under a black light -- make sure you get all of the pee stains out - if there is even a little bit left the cat will smell it and go there again.

It works much better than > Nature's Miracle. Never heard of it, thanks for the suggestion ('course, I've been in England for four years now!). Also, Oxyclean (the laundry stuff) was recommended in another group to use mixed with whatever pet stain remover you use, because it oxidizes the stain. All good suggestions.... > (2) Sprinkle (lots of?)

Try someplace like Petsmart; not maybe the cheapest place, but will have it cheaper than the grocery store, because you can buy a big huge bottle. You might also check in a smaller name pet shop; they might have the big bottle as well, but cheaper. And as someone else said, use blacklight to make sure you've got it all out, and give the NM time to work; it should say on the bottle how long to wait before reapplying if necessary. Also, make sure it soaks all the way down and around the stain, because the smell won't go completely unless it reaches all of the stain. And even if you get it so *you* can't smell it, remember kitty's nose is 40 times more sensitive than ours, so you've got to make sure the smell is *completely* gone as best as possible! Also, check out this article, The Unabridged Guide to Litterbox Problems: http://www.catsinternational.org/articles/housesoiling/unabridged_litterbox_ 1.html Hope you get the problem solved soon, I know what a frustrating (and *stinky*) one it is!
