Is the product that you tried one of those enzymatic ones? They helped a lot with some nasty whiffs that we inherited with this house that had gone through to the floorboards. It did take a few days to fully take effect though.


Yes - it seemed to work OK at first. I'm beginning to think I hadn't put enough on to start with because of the volume

It's useful to know it worked down to the level of floorboards for you - thanks

Keep trying. I hope it works for you. I know what you mean about the nasty flowery smell though. It does fade after a while!

Believe me, for the first time ever I can say, hand on heart, that it's better than the alternative

I wish I could help here as over the last two years we have recycled three dogs one of whom still pees every night. I have tried probably every product going.

I now keep a bottle of biological liquid just for this purpose as this is supposed to be strong enough to discourage them doing it again in the same spot. I think the smell does eventually go (I hope I am right about this and that i have not just lost the ability to smell it myself ) The stains however have never gone. All the carpets in the house are now ruined mainly by dogs or cats although children have assisted them at times and we are saving up to rip them all up and replace them with wood. (It will be years...)

i absolutely swear by Milton

weak bleach really but whenever the cats have made an error or any other really unpleasant odour that needs to be negated, i just rub it with a cloth with neat milton on it or pour milton on the floor or whatever and it takes the smell away, stopping them from going to the same spot again....

cheap and effective...

dry bicarbonate of soda (food grade )absorbs and chemically neutralises dog wee .
i dont often say trust me but
on hard surfaces use it as a strong solution ,dry on a carpet with newspaper on top as a wick works well, then hoover and rinse
it does happen ,but they make up for it in other ways and i have had far scuzzier housemates than dogs .

as someone with 12 cats and 6 dogs and the odd foster dog occasionaly, I have more than a passing aqquaintance to 'mistakes'. I know what you mean about the amount too as I own a long dog.
Ecover won't cut the mustard. You need to buy some biological washing liquid, mix a solution of it and soak the area. The enzymes eat the bacteria which cause the smell. Then rinse, dab dry and you will be fine. You can always put a few drops of nice smelling essential oil in the area but you won't need to.
