What about urine accidents? How do you clean it?
1029371
It's not that easy to clean because of the texture. Easiest way I found is to take it outside and spray it off with a garden hose and to use some kind of neutralizing agent (Nature's Miracle or something like that) to neutralize the urine so that the cats don't keep just urinating on the mat instead of going into the litter box.

First, shake it outside until no more litter falls out... (hang it and beat it with a broom) ...if you're using clumping litter you'll have a real headache when you go to hose it off. I tried all sorts of odor neutralizing products, but nothing worked and my cats started to prefer the mat to the box. When I trashed the mat, nobody peed outside the box anymore. I picked up a few carpet remnants and they worked equally well... at $1 each it wasn't a burden to replace them if an accident happened.

My cat hasn't had that issue but since it is plastic I would assume you would take it outside or into the shower/tub and hose it down with soap and water then let it dry off.

I've used Urine Off after all kinds of products and it's the only thing I've found that takes away the urine smell and stains. It does wonders on removing odor. I have a male Papillon that is a stubborn little guy and wants to mark his territory. He wears a belly band when roaming around the house and Urine Off gets rid of the smell when the bands are laundered which regular detergent never did.

The easiest thing to do is just pull the lever before you use the restroom and it alleviates several possible issues..hope this helps

1-2 hours before, drink the bottle of detox then fill it with water and drink.You will constantly have to go to the bathroom and notice your urine is clear. Then you're all detoxed : )

I had the exact same problem - but then I discovered that when I applied my steamer directly on the Nature's Miracle after it had set for a few minutes, it practically disappears. I already had the steamer, but I would definitely recommend getting one - even a small hand-held one - if cleaning urine stains is going to be an ongoing issue.

My issue was cat urine on concrete, which wasn't stained since I always tried to clean up the mess asap. So I'm not sure about it's usefulness on stains.

I have used it after trying other products, and after using urine no longer showed up under blacklight, make sure to really soak it don't just do a light spray.

Simply have the individual urinate into a clean cup - glass is recommended. Open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. remove testing device. Hold the one side of the device with one hand. Use the other hand to pull out the cap and expose the absorbent end. Immerse the absorbent end into the urine about 10 seconds. Make sure that the urine level is not above the "MAX" line printed on the front of the device. Lay the device flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface. Read the result at the 5 minute mark. After 8 minutes, the reading is probably not valid. I would be happy to send a copy of the directions to your address. Simply have the individual urinate into a clean cup - glass is recommended.

If your wood flooring is not a porous type wood and has a sealant on it then just spray our enzyme cleaner on it, allow to sit for a few minutes and then wipe up.

Mouse urine, ugh!!! I would think the purifying bag would at least help, if not eliminate. They're cheap enough that it's sure worth the try.

I just use regular toilet paper which disolves adequately to prevent clogging. I make sure to add 2 cups of water plus 2 oz. of conditioning chemical after dumping and cleaning to prep for reuse. I don't flush paper that is used only for urine. I have never experienced any problems.

Yes water with baking soda or flood the floor with water to wash it off if you have a drain.

I really don't know. I sucked up as much of the urine as possible with a wet vac. Next I cleaned and rinsed taking up as much water as possible. Then I soaked the area. Like magic no more odor. If you don't fully soak the area it won't be as effective. After many years of puppies and later old dogs this is the best product to eliminate odor.

Hey, I scrounged around the internet...hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar come up a lot. One lady said after she poured the hydrogen peroxide on the pee area, it bubbled up all gross and such, then she wiped it with paper towels or whatever. Another person mentioned the baking soda treatment after the peroxide/vinegar step, then vacuuming it after it dries. A trick our vet taught us when one of our cats went on a peeing tear, was a regular flat pan litter box with a pee pad, put on or near the spot. Assuming it's not right smack in the middle of the floor or in a pathway or something. I was always able to position furniture to where I didn't have to look at it all the time. Hope this helps! Good luck! Hey, I scrounged around the internet...hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar come up a lot.

If your child doesn't sit back far enough to aim everything into the toilet, he/she can get urine underneath the seat. I simply check and wipe it every time.

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 try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.
