Oh, also, my bf's mother uses "Capture" for the carpet for stains and for clothing. It won't work for the patio, but will for future inside accidents :)

We got a hydro-cleaner, a little high spray water cleaner from Walmart. It is about $89, but it takes the dirt, pee and all off the cement. I love it!

For my grout, I use scrubbing bubbles, dobie pad (plastic covered sponge) or toothbrush, and a sponge or washrag. Get on hands and knees and go to work.

It does seem to deter going potty on the floor when it is clean.

My sister in law told me last weekend that she washes the patio down once a week with vinegar to keep the flies away. Maybe it is the smell?

Glass cleaner with ammonia!!! It romoved spots and gets the smell. When Gus first came home, he loved peeing in the corner of my bedroom. I was for ever cleaning and couldnt get the smell out. Then my mother in law told me that she used to use it when her puppies where little and made smelly messes in the house. And it really worked.

Lol
 

Latuya - Did you ever see My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Her father thought glass cleaner was the answer to everything - Skin rashes, all kinds of stuff!! Anyone had a complaint he would spray it with glass cleaner! It was hysterical!

Why not potty stains! LOL

Keep us posted..
 

Might as well let you be the guinea pig! ;) If you find that it works run out and buy stock real quick - then let everyone on YT know! Early retirement! lol

Please keep us posted when you get it.

LOL! Yes I did see My Fat Greek Wedding. But it really does work on stains and oders.

I couldn't wait so I will let you what I find when I try it too.

I, too, have heard that vinegar works.

less stinky cats in this world...i know shame on me just not a cat person

i use good ol bleach!i usto have a pekinese and we kept her outside in ur fenced patio area that was cemented when she was shedding and i had the same problem with poo and pee smell and what i would do is spray the area first with the waterhose then take some dawn dish soap and squirt it all around the area then i would pour the bleach down, then i take a plastic broom and scrub it down just like scrubbing dishes(scrub it really well) lol....then i rinse it(the cement)really really well until you don't see suds anymore and walla the smell is gone!noone evn knew a dog had been there let alone did her buisness there. it really works and it doesn't kill the grass because by the time your done flushing the concrete down with water the bleach is diluted already. hope this helps!

Shana-I'm exactly like that. When people come over I want them to be surprised that we have animals inside when they see them. I honestly don't even know if our house smells. I've been trying to get someone over to smell it and tell me the truth but we haven't had anyone over in forever. I also have cats and my best friend was always telling her husband how you couldn't even tell I had them (before we got our yorkie). It helped though that I have a cat door so I don't have a litter box inside.

I use the plug-ins and I also spray my carpets with fabric softner/water and also sometimes febreeze but I feel that this just covers up the smells. I really want something that is really going to get rid of the smell.

I kept a spray bottle with just pure vinegar in it around and when Reagan would go on the floor I would soak it up with paper towels then spray it with vinegar I really believe it worked. I have also gone over my carpets with a steam cleaner that had some vinegar in the water (no soap/shampoo). I bought simple solution's carpet shampoo for the steam cleaner but haven't used it yet, maybe this weekend. I'll let you guys know how that works.

The other day when I was at Petsmart, there was a whole shelf full of products to rid the odor and stains.

After you get the odor and stains out, then spray the concrete deck with a Concrete Sealer (like Thompson's). The urine will not penetrate the cement then.
