Good question and this is one we get alot.
Urine is made up of 3000 components and three of thee compounds (Uric Acid, Salt and Creatinine) bond with substrates like carpets when the moisture in the urine evaporates. The 3 components are left in the carpet and cause bacteria to form almost immediately.
Detergents, disinfectants and other masking urine smell removal products don't break down these chemicals and merely disguise the urine odour with another fragrance. AN effective product for urine smells will break down the crystals formed by uric acid and salt
These crystals are the main reason for urine smells occurring regularly as moisture and heat will cause them to swell and put out that foul urine smell
How does Odarid work on removing cat urine odour
Step one
Apply the product to the contaminated area that has cat urine smell and then the product will oxidise the uric acid and salt crystals found in cat urine and remains in carpet and furniture
Step two
Look for foaming as shown above. This will determine where the cat urine smell is from
Clean the area with towels and then reapply if necessary or just leave the product in the carpet or substrate to continue working
Odarid is the New Zealand Made Solution to cat urine odour issues and dog urine odour issues.
