My whole staff uses it now, and it works on everything from urine and vomit, to blood, and even grease.” What Causes Urine Odors? Urine odor comes from naturally occurring bacteria and uric acid crystals (crystalized urine residue). Uric acid crystals often remain trapped in porous damp surfaces and release a strong ammonia-like odor as bacteria feeds on the urine. Humid conditions or wetting the surface can also reactivate the odor. Clorox® Urine Remover Tackles Both Stains and Odors The hydrogen peroxide in Clorox® Urine Remover breaks down the odor at its source through oxidization and removes uric acid crystals. Surfactants, solvent and a low pH work together to clean urine stains from porous grout and other difficult surfaces.
The product can be used before or after other cleaning products, with no additional training needed. Very low surface-safety concerns. Enzymatic Cleaners Perform Poorly on Stains The bacteria formulated in enzymatic cleaners are living microorganisms that generate enzymes to “eat” uric acid crystals. Because enzyme-based cleaners are typically formulated at a neutral pH to be compatible with the living bacteria, they do not clean urine stains as effectively from difficult surfaces such as porous grout. And using an antibacterial or high/low pH product before or after using an enzyme-based cleaner on the same surface may neutralize the enzymes and bacteria. Dilutable General Bathroom Cleaners Don't Eliminate Long-Term Odors Dilutable General Bathroom Cleaners (GBCs) typically contain less than 0.5 % of their active ingredient after dilution, and may not completely remove stubborn uric acid crystals from porous surfaces such as grout. Remaining uric acid crystals will later release a strong ammonia-like odor.
And they’re not designed for use on soft surfaces like carpet or mattresses.How to Keep Cats Out of Flower Beds and Gardens By Jennifer Sellers, Petfinder contributor As a responsible, loving pet parent, you probably know that the safest, healthiest lifestyle for your cat is one that’s indoors. Unfortunately, many of your neighbors may feel differently. As a result, your garden could be doubling as a neighborhood litter box. Not only is this unsanitary — especially if you’re growing produce — it can be destructive to your crop and unhealthy for you if your neighborhood cats are carriers of certain bacteria. Not to mention, digging can lead to potential root damage. Of course, from a cat’s point of view, a bed with fresh mulch or turned soil is a welcoming spot to take care of business.[1] Fortunately, there are a number of ways to make your garden a feline-free zone: Keeping Cats Out of your Garden There are several tried-and-true strategies homeowners use for keeping cats and other critters out of their gardens.
Here are some of the most effective and humane:These products emit an unpleasant sound at a frequency cats can hear but humans can’t. Many are motion-activated and only go off when an animal is nearby.Like the ultrasonic devices, these sprinklers are only activated when a cat comes near. An unexpected burst of water is a highly effective deterrent for cats, as most felines dislike getting wet. it’s not harmful, just momentarily unpleasant.If you’re just starting a garden, lay chicken wire at ground level or just below the soil. You can create holes in the wire large enough for your plants to grow, but the texture of the fencing will make walking in your garden uncomfortable for cats. Just be sure there are no sharp edges jutting up out of the soil!Alley Cat Allies recommends citrus scents such as from lemongrass, citronella, orange or lemon peels. Coffee grounds, vinegar, lavender oil, eucalyptus oil, and tobacco can also deter cats. Experiment with which scents or combinations of scents work.
Just remember that whatever you choose will have to be replaced from time to time as the potency of the scent wears off. Also, be aware that some of these substances can harm your plants, so you should place them around, not in, your garden. Plant marigolds or rue. The jury’s still out on whether or not marigolds are an effective cat deterrent. Many gardeners swear by marigolds, but if they don’t work for you at least they’ll be a lovely addition to your garden. they’re not toxic to pets. Rue is recommended by Alley Cat Allies. Create a Cat-Friendly Oasis Elsewhere A clever way to keep cats out of your garden is to redirect them to an area of your yard where you don’t mind their presence. You can do this by creating a separate spot that’s appealing to cats. Fine-grained sand, catnip and catmint are irresistible to most felines. Just be aware that cats like clean areas, so if you don’t remove their waste from time to time, they will eventually relocate to areas where they’re unwelcome (like your garden).
