I've done a lot of research on cat urine removal & Icky Poo was mentioned. Will this work over other products already used?

I haven't had any luck with this. I've used several different products, and none of them seem to work.
1086038
I didn't notice a difference at all. I tried a product that I do like. Found it at wal-mart, called urine gone. Has a nice soft scent & seems to work better than anything I have tried so far. Natural enzymes & only about 6.00 a bottle.

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...)

We have a pretreatment product for that neutralizes bleaches and detergents. You will be impressed with how much better Anti-Icky-Poo works than those other enzyme products

I purchased the syringe on-line from the same company through Amazon...(there was a shipping snafu and I had to get amazon involved to get my expedited shipping back) BUT, besides that, I was glad to pay as it was a big needle that can get really deep into the carpet/fabric. We have three 14 year old kitties, so I totally understand!! Good Luck!

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.

If you have used bleaches or detergents, the residue from those products will attack the Anti-Icky-Poo bacteria and render it less effective. If you have used other enzymes, the Anti-Icky-Poo usually is uneffected.

Hey Michelle - Fabric (furniture), carpet or wood? For our couch cushions I actually used a syringe and injected the icky poo into the cushion--it was practically dripping with product...then let the cushion air dry for 3 days, as well as the cushion cover...

I'm not 100% positive but my best guess is that it will. It may take more than one application. I used it full strength on cat urine on carpet - the odor never came back. Hope this is of some help to you.

The only thing I found that works it a brand of enclosed litter boxes called "Cat it". I bought it at Petsmart. The way the seams meet along the edge of the upper and lower part of the box causes the urine to run straight down the wall instead of sitting in the seams and finding its way out onto the floor. Well worth the money spent.

I don't know. I DO know that I had used it before and it didn't seem to help at all.... I had purchase other brands that were not working either. This time, with my 19 yr. male cat, I was desperate to try ANYTHING that may work! So, I recently purchased it again and nearly every day I spray the rug in front of my sink that had been his 'target'. He has not peed there since ....and it has been several weeks. If you try the product again, I would suggest spraying his 'target area' several times a day in the beginning to see if that helps. Frustrating problem, I KNOW!!!

Leave it alone....this product uses enzymes that work afterward, leaving a smell for a day or two if its too badly saturated with urine, but the smell WILL go away after it finishes eating at the "mess" (literally). I have used Nature's Miracle on an apartment I was cleaning that had badly soaked carpets, and the day after, you could barely walk into the house, because the odor of the urine and an "alcohol smell" that is a byproduct of the enzymes doing their work, but after the second day, ALL of the smell was gone, and the carpets looked like new. This stuff works, but people need to know, this is ENZYME based, not chemical or soap based, so it takes TIME to do its job, but it WILL do it, and do it well. Think of enzymes as little critters that live off of urine, blood, and feces, and will eat and eat until they have nothing else to eat. After a couple of days, you can clean the carpets again to get rid of any remaining traces that may be left, but if you don't give this stuff time to do what it does, you are just wasting your money (like the guy that called in the "pros" afterward...all they did was soak up the enzymes that were already doing their job, then probably putting more on there along with some sort of chemical deodorizer that seals the urine into the carpet and padding so you couldn't smell it, which in return, will not allow enzymes or anything else from that point on to remove what urine they sealed in). So...use this stuff, then, LET IT SIT AND DO ITS JOB, even if its for a couple of days, it will work, DO NOT RINSE, after a few days, re-clean the carpet if you like, but don't do it BEFORE ITS DONE WORKING!! The added smell means its doing its job, not that it didn't.

not unless the pet plus cleaner has enzymes that will get rid of the urine. dried urine creates an ammonia crystal which is very difficult to get out of fibers. They have to be broken down with enzymes and regular soap just doesn't do that. I suggest using VERY hot water and vinegar on the area, then using the vac over it. You need to let the vinegar sit on the area to saturate it before scrubbing and vacuuming so that it can penetrate the area. If that doesn't work, Nature's Miracle is a great enzymatic cleaner. Or try Biokleen Bac-Out, which what works for us. We have 2 cats and I've used it several times.

I'm not sure specifically on cat urine as my cat didn't use the carpet as a potty. But, there was a large spot from the previous homeowner's dog that it did a great job on. I did have to go over it twice (probably because I needed to make sure there was no return of the awful smell). I was quite surprised at how well this cleaning solution worked.

I have used it on dried cat barf and it did a great job. Have not tried it on urine, sorry.

We used Arm & Hammer, which was okay, and then Cat Attract for two years after some litter use problems caused by recurrent UTI's, and now we've switched it over to Tidy Cat (Cat Attract being rather more expensive). We've had no problems with those three litters. The rake mechanism can get burnt out on clumps, but that really comes with any litter. Id say overall it worked fine with ours as long as i maintained cleaning put the waste compartment. Hope that helps. Test it put for a week or so and see how its working with yours, as every system can have its own issues.

No, I have found it to work with different brands of litter too. Good luck!

Stink Free is the best stuff ever! I had a huge cat urine area that I thought would cause me to need carpet replaced. I used a whole bottle on the area and it completely removed the odor! I highly recommend this product!!

I have found Nok Out to be very effective, although I imagine it depends on how strong the odor is. I would check out their website: http://www.nokout.com/home.php I have used Nok-Out on male cat urine and feces and found it extremely helpful.

I've used it for cat and human (potty training) urine and it worked great. It takes a few days for any smell to go away. It will smell musty at first, but it will eventually dissipate.

I bought it specifically for human urine as not even bleach worked, but Simple Solution Extreme worked. It worked on fabric, my tack box, etc. Anything. This worked! Haven't tried it on cat urine.

IMHO........No!!!! This unit is not robust enough to eliminate the stench of cat urine. I switched from a traditional cat box to a Tidy Cat Breeze litter box that utilizes special pellets and absorbent pads. I find it very, very effective at controlling odors.

I think so. It was awesome with cat urine and diarrhoea. Also cat spray from anal glands. I love this product and would strongly recommend it!!!
