Animal Urine Odor

A very deterimined dog that shared my life for many years cocked his leg to urinate in the 3 different rooms he was allowed in. Then other small breed dogs I brought in followed suit. The instigator set up such a fuss when I tried to use belly bands that I was forced to give that up. Instead I kept a fresh wet mop soaked in disinfectant & constantly mopped up behind him. He's passed on now but the odor of urine hasn't. I've used bleach by the gallon, hydrogen peroxide, all cleaners sold but none have helped. I think it's in the very grout between the tile at this point.There are spray solutions advertised on websites but just spray bottles which wouldn't cover the whole areas w/o costing a fortune. I need something full strength that can be diluted in each bucket of water. Does anyone have a suggestion here t0 rid this smell?

you'll have to use a cleaner esecially for neutralizing urine and feces. Bleach while a great cleaner and disinfecter won't neutralize. I believe most of the brands work well including at walmart and stuff (in the pet aisles) or you could go to a Petsmart but will probably pay more, I know Natures Miracle is good, and I think they sell it in a gallon size, but they may not have that at walmart. I would neutralize once and then again. let the solution sit for a longer time then they say since you odors are older. hope this helps!!!

Odoban! It's sold as a sprayer at Walmart and completely gets rid of urine odors wherever it touches. Also sold by the gallon at Sam's club.

Kids N' Pets! We didn't realize that the home we bought had previously had a few cats, specifically in the room we were using as a nursery for my daughter! My husband found Kids N' Pets and sprayed down the rug in that room and never again did we smell the cat urine odor! Since then we've used it on things like vomit (when my daughter was sick and threw up on the rug down the hallway). It's meant for all that nasty stuff/odors ;) Good luck!

J.--try plain old rubbing alcohol. At this point I would pour it on and let it dry. I LOVE alcohol for cleaning. Always have. A bottle of Granny's vodka saved me once: We were moving, had sold the house and were packing. My two year old used on of those permanent fat black markers on my contractor-beige carpet....he drew a really pretty very black picture about 2'x3'--I did not have rubbing alcohol in the house...but I did have a bottle of vodka that belonged to my husbands grandmother...it took that marker right out of the carpet. I saw on 'oprah' that Kirstie Alley was a maid before she became famous and she cleans everything with Vodka.....I think rubbing alcohol is cheaper! I have had many a cat and dog...and for that matter kids accident over the years. I do not have those odors in my house. I clean it all with alcohol right away. I would pour it on and just wait for it to dry. I think you will find the smell gone. Also, if the smell is in the very air of your house--febreeze candles (they are pricey--but work) are great for the air. They have a smell...but a 'core' that is very effective on household odors!!!

I would allow my dogs to spend the night in my utility room during the winter time. Needless to say, sometimes they would urinate in the utility room. I used a product that eliminated the urine odor. The product will also eliminate smoke from clothes or furniture.
