How to clean smell from (ugh!) non-box ****/pee area (4ft x 8ft)?

[David Combs]

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

Have you tried looking up the product and its manufacturer on your
computer? Also try various pet suppy stores.

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.

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.

Good luck,
LeeAnne

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....

We have 5 cats, a few of whom occasionally pee to mark turf. We have
tried them all and the best is Mister Max http://www.mistermax.com.
