Pet Odor or Pet Urine ?

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Be careful here as they are not the same thing.

Pet odor can be simply that Buffy hasn’t had her bath in a couple of months.  

Granted the smell can be terrible but this clearly is just plain old pet odor.

Buffy’s bedding can develop quite a nasty odor if not washed regularly.

Pet urine on the other hand is that strong odor that is the result of your cat or dog urinating repeatedly on your carpeting and upholstery.

Buffy’s bedding can easily be washed in your favorite detergent.

Pet urine on the other hand requires a competent cleaning agent to successfully remove that strong urine odor.

Cleaning Kits

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

We have seen several cleaning products offered that come complete with a set of brushes, injectors and other miscellaneous gear.

It sounds as if you are receiving an impressive kit of cleaning products.

Actually what you are receiving is a very strong clue that these kits don’t work.

Don’t be foolish.

If the cleaning products worked then why would they need all of this additional gear?

This is a tactic that is commonly used by commission based marketing websites to entice you into purchasing their products.

Remember if you don’t purchase their “Featured” products they won’t make a commission which can be as high as twenty percent.

Look for the word “Goodies” as they try to entice you into the sale. 

Cleaning Instructions

Review all product instructions before purchasing.

This will ensure that you can handle the product when you get it home.  

Perfumes

 Avoid any cleaning products that have strong perfumed scents.

This is your first clue the product is ineffective and relying on perfume to cover up any odors.

The Proklean Companies based in the United States specialize in producing cleaning products used in the removal of biologicals from carpeting and upholstery.

This is a specialty company that has focused on producing urine removal products.

Proklean produces several different formulations.

Product Review Odorzout

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

During May 2006 we researched dry cleaning products for those individuals that prefer this cleaning method.

Our search led us to Odorzout.

The Odorzout main ordering page utilizes 128 bit encryption and it’s security certificate appears current.

If you prefer the dry method take a look at this web site.

This product is good, not as potent nor as effective as the Proklean liquids but a reasonable alternative if you prefer powders.

We suggest you review “Powders or Liquids?” before making a purchasing decision.  

Secret Formulas

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

There are quite a few advertisements that offer to sell you a Secret Formula that will absolutely remove urine.

What you will receive for your hard earned cash is a worthless white vinegar and baking soda recipe that is guaranteed to make your urine almost impossible to remove.

Don’t be foolish, replacing one terrible odor with another makes absolutely no sense.

Manufacturers Websites

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

A Manufacturers Website as the name implies is the actual website maintained by the manufacturer that is designed to promote their products.

A Manufacturers Website will generally offer you stronger product knowledge, correct usage and after purchase support.

If possible purchase your products directly from a Manufacturers Website as this will improve your odds for a successful resolution to your cleaning project.

Dawn, Lysol and Proklean are all direct manufacturers.
