Unhinged Crazy Cat Lady Who is Not Fond of Cats

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.Ver más

Decent

I’m still unsure of the effectiveness of this if this product is masking odors or actually getting rid of them.It’s extremely strong when you first spray it but a little seems to go a long way. When I use it with the light I still see reminisce of stuff being left behind.The bottle is bigger than I expected. It’s actually a normal size. I’m still testing and unsure of how well it works but it hasn’t stained any of my surfaces yetVer más

Works very well at eliminating cat spray odor.

Product worked extremely well on carpet & walls in a seldom used room where we hadn't noticed vising cats sprayed, leaving a terrible smell. Product erased smell and using a UV light the spray was not even dectible and better yet, erased the smell. Thanks for a great product.Ver más

Best Product Ever! WORST SPRAYER EVER.

This gets the same review I gave the Angry Orange Odor product, for the same reasons.50 year pet owner here. This is, without a doubt, the best pet odor eliminator I've ever used. We're dog people, so this works great on regular ol' dirty dog smell, wet dog smell, hound smell, urine, etc. I haven't had an opportunity to use it on Skunk spray, but I would bet that, while it would help a great deal, it's not quite as good as home-brewed peroxide, Dawn, baking soda mix.Where Angry Orange fails miserably is the sprayer. I've gone through several bottles of this stuff and on top of the fact that they don't really fit the bottle, every single one has either not worked at all, leaked, stopped working part way through the bottle, broken off completely, or some combination of the above. Why Angry Orange would market a premium product with a premium price and stick a junk sprayer (and that's unnecessarily generous) so bad it not only renders the product unusable, but is also costing them repeat business, is unfathomable.The $2 Great Value spray bottle, at Walmart, production and delivery cost likely in the 30 cent range, is 100 times better than anything to which Angry Orange has subjected me. It just works, has lasted several bottles, and I just empty new bottles of Angry orange into my personal bottle first thing, before the AO sprayer inevitably breaks, often spilling expensive deodorizer everywhere but where it's supposed to go. Makes me mad every time I pour new product out of a perfectly good bottle. What a waste. Just put a screw-on lid on the bottle and lower the price a dollar.Ver más

Absolutely wonderful

I am completely sick and tired of my house smelling like dog. Sometimes it seems no matter how much I vacuum, shampoo, scrub or clean, I can never fully rid myself of the dog smell in certain areas of the house. I heard great things about enzyme cleaners helping especially kill the germs and scent of dog pee and poop, but I hate the smell of cleaners like bleach (and it can make me very sick). BUT I found Angry Orange! An enzyme cleaner that smells like the delicious citrus fruit, so I figured I could give this a shot. I love how applicable this cleaner is, it can be used on so many surfaces! Carpet, floors, fabric, furniture, upholstery, turf, and more! It is incredibly easy to use, just choose a setting by twisting the the spray tip open and spray! It smells absolutely wonderful and just like an orange. I do not care for cleaners that smell like cleaners, honestly it just makes me sick to my stomach, so this Angry orange smelling like orange was wonderful. The smell is strong at first (it did not bother me, because I love the smell!) and over time it becomes more subtle as it rests wherever it was sprayed. I followed the simple instructions of removing pets from area, clean excess mess, shake well and spray (about 12 inches away), wipe away and let it dry! So easy! You do not have to dilute it, you can easily wipe away with a cleaning cloth of your choice and it has worked wonderfully on my carpet. When it dried I also went ahead and vacuumed over the spots again. So easy! I am pleased to know that I can actually kill the germs and the smell of dog in my house. It is quite safe to use! It didn't take long to dry after using on my carpet. It did not discolor my carpet either! My carpet feels clean on my feet, soft, and smells like orange. Give this a shot! I am so impressed by this Angry Orange and I am going to use it more often in everyday clean up and deep cleaning tasks.Ver más
