How effective are these for longstanding pet odor? We are purchasing a house in which the previous owners had dogs and cats. The carpet reeks.

I have a feeling that it won't work for you. We don't have a pet, but I know what you mean. Load the carpet up with baking soda and let it sit for an hour then vaccumn, maybe that will work. Good luck.

I have 2 of those along with a bigger Hamilton Beach air filter in my living room/kitchen. They are very effective, however, if your carpet reeks that bad you might want to get a carpet steam cleaner also. The air purifiers have taken care of the old pet urine smell that had seeped into the padding under the carpeting but it doesn't do that much with urine in the actual carpet.

They work pretty well. It also depends on the space where you need it. I have four spots that get hit regularly. There is a more enclosed spot at the bottom of stairs, if I don't change it daily, it can have a slight odor. But that also depends on the cat. Some cats have a stronger smell than others.

I use it frequently now and in the past we have used just about every odor remover around. (We have always had lots of dogs, cats, and grandchildren.) I would recommend giving it a try.

Yes!!! It is great. My sister and I have both used it. We have cats and dogs and it eliminate both smells. Buy it! They have excellent customer service, they call and check with you.

I would suggest keeping your cat out of house for at least a week after using. Iy can harm them if they ingest it or get it on thier paws.The odor is strong. Also if you use it repeat a few times then shampoo carpet with super HOT water. Good luck I know how bad fleas can get. Once out of control.

First, I have to apologize because I haven't opened the filter yet, however, I have a similar model that has been in use for the past 10 years (thus, the reason we bought a new one). It will pretty much eliminate any odor, including pet odor. We have a dog and there has never been any indication of a "dog odor" in our house. As for the "ozone smell", some people like it, some don't. Personally, I find the odor pleasant. The nice thing about the model in question is you have the power to control the ozone stage. Hope this helps.

For me the answer was yes. I have a cat that had urinary tract issues and used our living room carpet as his litter box for a short time. Even after carpet cleaning multiple times with product specifically designed for pets we still had an oder and didn't want to rip up new carpet as recommended so I purchased one of these units and placed it in the area and there was an immediately noticeable difference. Yes there was a slight clorox oder but it was not a problem. Used it non-stop for 2 months. Unplugged and the oder is completely gone and has remained that way. Hope this helps.

I would get a product called Scoe 10-X. You can find it on the web. It is effective against any odor I've ever used it on including skunks and dog smells embedded in cars. It's totally natural. It's worth the money and it works.

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.

Works well. If you still notice a smell you can try a different cleaner. Like vinegar in just the hot water if you still smell 'dog'. :-) Seems like it takes the smell out of ours - we're a two dog family:-)

Absolutely! This is the best odor eliminator around when it comes to pet odors!

So these other products didn't work? I can't speak to using them after using something else, but if the smell/issue is still there, this product still might dissolve whatever is left...our issue was severe and we had to do several applications both on top and in our sofa cushion, but it did save our couch and there is no smell. (Severe poop juice from an old cat...)

I just used a normal vacuum. But my carpets weren't any cleaner although it did pull the pet smell out. I ended up buying a biessel carpet cleaner and I love it.

I have used it on both a very low weave carpet and a fairly deep pile carpet, mostly for spot clean up and also for overall freshening. I have dogs and cats that occasionally have accidents and it is great for that and to give the carpet a fresh smell. I do not think it totally replaces a carpet cleaner that does a more thorough job. But I love how it helps control pet odors!

I haven't had to deal with cat urine, but have dealt with new and old dog urine. By far, the best product I've tried is Stink Free. It works! Use it just as the label states. I will leave a clean/slightly perfume-like scent for a week or so but when that has faded (and it does, trust me), the urine smell is gone with it. I had a bigm bad dog urine problem in old shag carpet and it worked wonders!

Good day. I do not have pets so I don't know how well it works with pet urine. It does a good job with mild stains. I took before and after pictures of a carpet placed at the entrance to the house. The carpet was exceptionally dirty because of the snowy it wet winter season. I was very pleased with its ability to clean this difficult carpet.

As long as the room isn't too big it would probably at least help a little bit. The room we use ours in is 12' by 13' to control any pet odors from a cat. My wife and I are very sensitive to smells and it works very well for what we needed. Based on the price we wanted to try this plug in (which is very convenient) before we spent money on any of the larger more expensive units. Possibly worth trying. We currently have 3 of these. 1 in each of our offices and 1 in one room of the house.
