When we discovered our kitty was peeing outside her box we had a lot of choices to try to get rid of the smell. Based on other reviews, I chose this one and I'm glad I did. This works almost instantly where she went on the cellar's concrete floor. Just sprayed enough to wet the area and the stain and ammonia odor disappeared immediately upon drying. Upstairs she managed to wet a corner of our wall-to-wall carpet near the front door. This took a little more time. I followed the directions, thoroughly wetting the area (to reach the pad underneath) then using a towel and pressure to absorb as much of the spray as possible. For the first few days the smell of the spray (sort of a strange combination of mint and cinnamon) was quite strong and I could still get a whiff of the 'ammonia' smell occasionally. But the smell slowly abated and with it, the ammonia smell as well. They say it takes a while for the enzymes to break down the components of the urine and it does. But be patient, it really does do the job, it just takes some time. Now I can no longer tell she even went there and our room smells fine, just like it used to before the 'accident'. Very pleased with this product.

We originally purchased this product because we have a fake-grass pee pad on our concrete patio for our dogs to use when we are not home, so we got Rocco & Roxie to clean and deodorize the pad and concrete. It worked like a charm. THEN, we just finished renovating my mother's (hoarder) house. She had previously had a dog who urinated on the carpet in one area so much that the carpet and pad had solidified to the wooden sub-floor. My husband had to use a chisel and hammer for hours to get it up. The smell was horrific and permeated throughout the house. The urine had crystallized to the wood floor and he was simply unable to get it all to release, so before we left for the night, we soaked 3 old rags in Rocco & Roxie and left them on the spot. The next morning, wow! He was able to scrape up the remaining crystallized urine from the wood floor. Then, that next night, we soaked an old blanket again in the Rocco & Roxie, pressed it down onto the stained area and left it again overnight. The next morning, not only was the stain virtually gone, but there was NO urine smell. Rocco & Roxie has a pleasant smell to it, but it does not linger - just fresh. It was truly amazing. I have posted 6 pics - you must see them to fully appreciate the power of this product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!

Let me set the stage for this long review. I am diagnosing myself as CP phobic (cat pee phobic). This is not yet an official disease but I am working on a patent. The roots of my CP phobia come from my childhood days as does everything else that is wrong with my life but I will skip the details for a book I will later write and discuss with Dr. Oz. Cats were around me in my childhood days and due to absent parents, they peed everywhere and little was done to clean it up. Therefore, the smell of cat pee brings severe anxiety, anger, and anything else that is related to a negative feeling. In 2002, a small kitten followed me into a 7-11. She was friendly but obviously abandoned and probably had her days limited if left in the busy parking lot of this convenience store. So on this wonderful day in the winter, I walked out with a Diet Coke, a pack of Marlboro lights, and a kitten. All three items were destined to deteriorate my health.

Fast forward to 2017 and this same cat is still with me. I am almost certain this cat will outlive me and I am only 34. This is the last cat I will ever own. Due to her age, attitude, and possibly her political views, she decided to start peeing on the carpet. I immediately google "life span of indoor cats." I realized I have at least 2 years left but maybe 5 years. I then take this 11 pound ball of fur to the vet to pay a lot of money for a diagnosis that my cat is healthy and a brat. Both of us come home hating each other. The peeing continues. Below is how I handled the situation in which she is still alive and I am slightly more unhinged than before. Several products will be mentioned as I am copying and pasting this review to all the companies who are responsible in allowing this cat to currently live through her natural life with me.

I spent a HUGE chunk of money on the litter robot. I recommend going to the litter robot website and researching this expensive toilet for cats. They have great customer service too. The litter robot is life changing for anyone who actually plans on owning cats for fun and for cats who refuse to use a dirty litter box. Due to my CP phobia, I plunked down the money. Everything worked great until my cat saw me enjoying life. The peeing began again. I put down a plain old square litter box and added "Cat Attract" litter. The peeing stopped. My adorable ball of high maintenance fur now uses the litter robot to go number two and the plain square box to go number one. The "Cat Genie" trash can is a must with anyone who has CP phobia. It keeps the smell down to a minimum and saves on trash bags.

Now that my 15 year old queen is satisfied with her restroom, I am now left to attack the cat pee smell. Putting Febreeze on a cat pee spot is like putting a cute SuperMan band aid on an 8 inch deep gash; it's super adorable but we all know I am going to pass out from the blood loss. Attacking cat pee is serious business and requires hours of work, determination, and money. Did I state how I will never own a cat again?

First you will need Rocco and Roxie pet stain remover. Just buy the jug if you are battling cat pee. The spray bottle will not be used. Pour Rocco and Roxie on the cat pee. It needs to be a puddle that soaks in through the carpet and into the carpet pad. We are not using a band aid, we are going in and sanitizing this dire situation. As you get the spots you can see, grab a UV light, turn off the lights, and prepare for night battle. Find all the illuminating spots and pour that Rocco and Roxie on all spots. Cat pee is no laughing matter to people like me. After all the spots are drenched, wait it out for a few hours and soak as much up with paper towels. If you use a towel, I feel you are transferring cat pee from one spot to the next. There will be a slight chemical smell. Again, cat pee is not like spilling your tumbler of vodka and soda water because the cat trips you up on purpose. Cat pee is anger and anxiety wrapped into one huge ball which needs strong chemicals to destroy.

If you are satisfied with Rocco and Roxie, and no odor of cat pee is present, then continue on with your life. If you are CP phobic and can detect a small whiff of cat pee, proceed to step 2.

Step two requires buying Angry Orange. Angry Orange is a smell that cats hate and is actually pretty pleasant to others. It smells like straight oranges. I bought the spray bottle and the concentrated refill bottle. Because I am CP phobic, I put a lot of the concentrated angry orange in a spray bottle and a little bit of water. I grabbed my UV light and went after the spots like the crazy, mad woman I have become. I sprayed all the spots only to have the entire house overwhelmed with the smell of orange. I am pretty sure my neighbors think I have opened a juicing station in the middle of my kitchen. I highly recommend following the directions of using the correct ratio of water to Angry Orange. If you do not follow the directions, not only will you think about writing a book called "James and the Giant Orange" but there will be slight orange spots on your carpet. Which now we can go to step 3.

Rocco and Roxie has an OxyClean product. This carpet cleaner gets out the toughest stains including my error of Angry Orange stains. Spray the product on any stain, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then start working on it with paper towels.

At this point, I am satisfied I have fought a good battle but I am still wary. I have an oreck orbiter to clean my travertine floors. I bought the attachments for cleaning the carpet and also Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaner. I spray the Rocco and Roxie OxyClean product as a mist on a 6 by 6 foot spot and then sprinkle the dry carpet cleaner all over. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. I rub the cleaner into the carpet with my oreck orbiter. Wait 45 minutes to 2 hours and vacuum. The Dry Carpet Cleaner gets out stains but it also gets out all the allergens and cat litter smell. I am not a fan of steam cleaning carpets. I have never had success. The Dry Carpet Cleaner is great for spring cleaning carpets or being completely unhinged by cat pee and needing to verify, the carpet is indeed clean.

Finally, after a week, I spray the areas in where I want my cat to never pee on, walk on, and or let alone even look at with the Natural Lemon Aerosol spray. Cats hate the smell of lemons and oranges.

I am now 90 percent satisfied I have won the battle of cat pee. I will not be 100 percent satisfied until I replace all the carpet but that will not happen until my cat crosses the rainbow in which she will probably pee on because that is how she rolls.

My cat has cost me a lot of money and time but I hope when I am old and peeing everywhere, that someone will take care of me and I will have two toilets in the same room. Did I state I will never own a cat again?

I hope this helps with anyone who has CP phobia and is willing to go above and beyond of getting rid of any trace of cat pee. I wish you well in your battle.

So I recently had a few pumpkins in my car's trunk after a Halloween party and they stayed in there for a little before I realized that one of them began rotting (d'oh!). It leaked and sunk into my trunk liner rug and my trunk and the rug totally wreaked of pumpkin rot. I tried washing the rug hardcore with Oxiclean and with laundry detergent, letting them soak in and scrubbing like crazy with a heavy brush, and then blasting the rug with the hose. Nothing could get the pumpkin smell completely out.

Finally, I came across this stuff and read up on how the enzymes actually digest the odor-causing matter and break it down into clean, non-smelly molecules.

After reading the instructions, I decided to pour the stuff onto the affected area of the rug, scrub it a little to spread it out a bit, then let it soak for several hours. I rinsed it off with the hose afterwards (NOTE: you will need to BLAST with a hose to get it all out of the rug) and it finally smelled clean.

Simply put: this stuff really gets the job done for organic odors like nothing else could. It doesn't just cover up the smell. It breaks it down, which was very important in my case, as leaving pumpkin matter in a dark, hot trunk would sure create a breeding ground for mold and other microorganisms.

I'm very pleased with this product and I think it is totally worth the $20 I spent (a professional cleaning would probably cost ten times that much). I even have some of the bottle leftover after pouring out a whole bunch and I was being very liberal with it. It seems the stuff can go a long way. If you've got some organic odors that you need to get rid of and get sanitary, buy this.

I would very much like everyone to know that this product has been a success in my house. A few weeks ago I noticed that my older dog had found that lifting his leg on a peace lily - henceforth known as a pee-ce lily - in the middle of rainy nights was an acceptable practice. While the pee-ce lily was located on a tiled surface, the wall-to-wall carpet was right next to that tiled area and the urine soaked into the carpet. It took me a while to notice his practice and to stop it, get him checked out for any possible health issues (there were none) and to begin the cleaning process.

I have had many canine family members and know that the tiniest aroma of urine is a trigger that is difficult for them to ignore and that if I could still smell it, even after numerous shampooings, he certainly could, and that it would happen again. I tried several different well-known national brand urine odor removers which I found in the local shops. Not one of them eliminated the odor. I researched further online and found this product on Amazon.

To make a long and frustrating story short, it essentially worked the very first time I used it. I sprayed copious amounts over the tile, down into the area that separated the tile from the carpet, under the floor molding along the wall, and soaked the carpet with it as well. I used my sensitive nose (my husband tells me I'm part pooch because he didn't smell anything but to me it reeked) to locate the edges of the affected area. I allowed the area to mostly dry then shampooed it again. Once it had dried completely, the smell was GONE. Thank goodness! Because that accident area is located in my art studio and I was really distressed by the odor when trying to work.

Anyway, I really appreciate this product and the follow-up emails. This has been truly helpful and it is always a great feeling when you find something that has worked. It smells nice too. A little clove-like, I'd say.

UPDATE: I have been successfully using this product to eliminate the cigarette smell in my new used SUV. It is now significantly reduced and doesn't gag me on a hot day when I enter the car. I recommended it to my son for his pick-up truck interior which always has a persistent "funk". That funk is gone now. So Rocco and Roxie seems to be useful for more than urine odor elimination. Try it!
