New Technology ?

Friday, May 26th, 2006

There are many technologies that have been used to deal with the strong odor of urine.

An interesting variation of perfumes is technology that actually tricks the scent receptors in your nose.

This “New” technology fools your nose into believing that those offensive odors are gone.  

They’re not.

Look for clues such as a promotional offer for a free atomizer.

This is your confirmation that the so called “New” technology is what they are actually offering.

One major drawback to this technology is that the urine, the source of the odor is never actually removed.

Plan on spending more money on refills as the odors return.        

Powders or Liquids ?

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Any type of liquid will penetrate into your carpeting, padding and eventually into the sub floor.

As the volume of the liquid increases the liquid will begin to pool as it encounters any type of obstruction.

If you are trying to clean up urine, you should consider this basic law of physics.  

Penny Wise Pound Foolish

     Many consumers trying to save money on cleaning products often end up getting hurt. Clever internet marketers know this and will try to entice you into purchasing worthless cleaning products using a variety of different schemes.

     Those big gallon size bottles of cleaning products are a good example. Yes they are very big because most of the time those cleaning products contain very few ingredients and are nothing more then water. You order a couple of bottles and you end up pouring their entire contents on your living room carpeting with very little results.

     Next comes those cleaning kits that come complete with brushes, hypodermic needles, special pretreatments for cat urine, dog urine and perfumed magic powders that you apply that are designed to complete the illusion that everything you need is in the box. The brushes are a very strong clue that these cleaning products are ineffective and you are going to be supplying the muscle.

     Cleaning powders are essentially ineffective. When cats and dogs urinate powders then maybe somebody will develop cleaning powders that actually work. 

     Cleaning products that claim they are concentrated often are not. This slight of hand is initiated when you prepare those concentrated cleaning products and they do not work as advertised. The manufacturer can claim the cleaning product’s failure is due to user error. Make sure you count your fingers before leaving the checkout counter.

     Professional quality cleaning products are already prepared to eliminate the possibility of user error.

     Free shipping is the most prevalent ploy used by internet marketers to unload a warehouse full of mediocre cleaning products.

     The best cleaning products are liquids. They are heavy and expensive to ship. Great cleaning products are always in high demand and do not have to offer any inducements to make the sale.

     Ask yourself this question. Why would the manufacturers of liquid cleaning products offer to pay for your shipping? The answer is because their products are not selling. Can you guess the reason why?

     As you can see there are numerous marketing schemes as the internet marketers try and entice you into spending your money. The marketers know that you are looking for a great deal and they work hard to create the illusion you are getting exactly that.

     The free shipping, super size bottles and complicated cleaning paraphernalia are all lures which are used to identify individuals that are interested in getting something for nothing. Once the internet marketers have identified these individuals they feel justified in taking advantage of them.

     Fisherman use lures to fool fish into believing they are offering them a free lunch. Most of the time the fish end up as the guests of honor at the fisherman’s ball.

Commercials

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Don’t be fooled by television commercials that claim that they can remove any pet stain or your money back.

We examined these commercials carefully and they never actually state that they can remove any type of pet urine, just the stain.

If they could get out any type of pet urine stain and the associated odor they would say so.

Since they obviously don’t have the confidence in their products, why should you?

Don’t be gullible and assume that they are talking about urine. This gives them a way out when the product falls on it’s face.

Product Review Proklean Super Cat Urine Remover

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

This product was purchased from the Genuine Proklean store.

We paid less than thirty dollars for the sixteen ounce spray bottle.

We reviewed the Proklean super cat urine product for efficacy, ease of use, consistency of results and overall retail experience. This product was tested on carpeting and upholstery. We took care to ensure the super cat urine remover was properly warmed up and that it was shaken vigorously before starting each test.

For our first test we made a one square yard test bed of white carpeting and padding so we could observe the cat urine from the side. We applied six ounces of the cat urine and allowed the urine to age for twenty one days.

We sprayed six ounces of the Proklean super cat urine remover directly on the cat urine and observed. You could see from the side view the Proklean product was penetrating into the padding. After about five minutes the yellow urine stain was beginning to disappear. At approximately fifteen minutes the yellow cat urine stain was gone.

Our second test involved an old cream colored couch with no previous urine history. We sprayed six ounces of cat urine on the sofa and allowed the urine to age for fourteen days.

We sprayed the Proklean super cat urine remover directly on the stain and waited. Our results were similar to our carpeting test. At approximately five minutes the yellow cat urine stain showed significant improvement. At fifteen minutes the yellow urine stain was gone. There was no detectable cat urine odor.

We found the Proklean super cat urine remover very easy to use. It does not get any easier as their engineering team has placed all of the product instructions online.

Online instructions are ideal since the customer cannot lose or otherwise misplace their instructions. It also gives the prospective customer the opportunity to review the instructions before making the purchase.

The customers are always assured of having the most current product instructions.

After several tests the Proklean super cat urine remover consistently received high marks for effectiveness.

We have concluded that the Proklean super cat urine remover definitely qualifies as a professional quality product.

This concludes our critical review of the Proklean super cat urine remover. If you are dealing with cat urine issues the super cat urine remover should be at the top of your list.

The Proklean super cat urine remover earned a strong buy recommendation.
