Urine Removal Product Reviews
Filed Under Pet urine removal, Uncategorized, Urine Odor Removal, Urine Off, Urine Removal, cat urine | Comments OffWelcome to Urine Off Reviews. We have reviewed various dog and cat urine removal products, and overview the results here, in order of our opinion of the product.
Scoe 10x
I really liked this product for the following reasons:
- The product achieved odor results equivalent to or better than Planet Urine.
- It really cleaned up a particularly ugly and rancid cat urine stain in my study. The smell never came back nor the odor, even after a few weeks.
- I have used the product on a mattress and a leather sofa since the original review with great results and no caustic effects that I’ve seen thus far.
- It was a solid product for my money, and pretty low-hassle to buy direct off of the internet
Planet Urine
Planet Urine also worked pretty well for us when we went to help out a friend with some stains in the basement:
- The cat urine removal results we found at our friends’ house with their particularly bad hard-surface and carpet stains were really immaculate good.
- Although it was a little hassle to apply, it really did thoroughly clean, working by a different method than the other products we reviewed. If enzymatic cat urine removal systems aren’t working with you (most didn’t with me) you might give this one a try.
- You can buy the products online, unlike a few other products like Nature’s Miracle.
Urine Gone
- Although the product worked very well at first, I found that our particular stain’s scent came back weakly a few weeks later, which I was unsatisfied with.
- Despite that, I liked that they shipped with a blacklight that helped locate each stain; even though I was unsatisfied with the product, I could use the light to identify the stains on which to use some of the products I liked better.
- You can buy this online also, but the website seems a little gimmicky, particularly given that I wasn’t completely happy with the long-term results of the product.
- This dog and cat urine removal product is probably fine for less strongly-smelling stains, but if your pocketbook allows it, I suggest the Scoe 10x or Planet Urine.
NOT Suggested - Urine Gone
ProKlean
- Tested the “Super” cat urine remover product on a stain underneath a couch in the sitting room.
- Not tedious to use, but no results. Also, no accessories to back up the high price.
- Relatively high price
- Difficult to navigate their website to purchase the product
NOT Suggested - ProKlean

Scoe10x Review, Pet Urine Removal (+)
Filed Under Pet urine removal, Urine Odor Removal, Urine Off, Urine Removal, cat urine | Comments OffHello fellow urine cleanologists,
Today marks another review by of a dog and cat urine removal product by Urine Off Reviews. This time of Scoe10X, a product by BioFOG inc. They made the bold claim that they are “THE” odor elimination company, and we went out to test them. We sent in our purchase order for a starter kit a few weeks ago and sure enough the cat had a stain in my study to use it on by the time it arrived. Here’s the review.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We liked Scoe10x for its odor removal power on a stain in my study.
- The product achieved odor results equivalent to or better than Planet Urine.
- It claims to be just as functional against other odor-causing agents (vomit, smoke)
- They have a full-featured catalog for every volume of work.
We were very satisfied with our Scoe10x experience. The results, comparable to Planet Urine, left us with no stain on the carpet in my study, and no odor in the air. In fact, several days later, the odor is still gone. We will continue using our supply of Scoe10x over the other cat urine removal systems we have lying around, cat urine removal systems, at least as far as cat urine (and I suppose other types of animal/child urine) is concerned.
Training Your Cat to Use Litter
Filed Under Pet urine removal, Urine Odor Removal, Urine Off, Urine Removal, cat urine | Comments OffHi and welcome back to Urine Off Reviews, where we discuss issues relevant to dog and cat urine removal, review products, and share anecdotes. Today, we discuss the principles of training your cat to use the litter box.
There are two principles to keep in mind when trying to keep cat urine off of your carpet and in the litter box: patience and persistence. Like all animals, cats learn best from positive reinforcement: if they have a good experience, they will try to replicate it. Negative reinforcement, or bad experiences, will have the opposite effect, driving cat to reject your training.
But what constitutes a bad experience? According to us at Urine Off Reviews, that depends on the situation. If your cat behaves badly, for example urinating in your shoe, avoid confusing your cat. Some owners will try to teach their cat NOT to do this by showing them the shoe, but simultaneously showing the litter box. Although they are trying to teach the cat where to go, this is only confusing. The cat doesn’t know which is the better option, and ultimately associates the litter box with negativity, thinking of it as an enemy.
At the same time, however, you should not just indulge your cat’s every desire. Don’t give in to unacceptable behavior. If your cat wakes you up consistently, meowing or pawing at your face to get your attention because it wants something, don’t always comply. If you give your cat what it wants, you reinforce that behavior, making your cat think that this is the most effective way to communicate with you.
Avoid these pitfalls with the following training tips:
1. Don’t just reprimand your cat. This is negative reinforcement that should be avoided, because it will drive your cat to retaliate - often when you’re not around to prevent it.
2. Plan ahead. If you’re a cat owner, you know that feline digestive systems are nothing if not predictable! Use this to your advantage when training for the litter box. When it’s time for your cat to use the restroom, take it into the room with the litter box and close the door. Your cat will be forced to use the box, which you should then reward with praise and a treat (like a toy or snack). Try this for about a week.
3. Reward. Giving your cat a treat is a great example of positive reinforcement. Use your cat’s favorite foods or toys.
4. Deter bad behavior. If you frequently find cat urine in your shoes, try placing objects that the cat doesn’t like near these shoes. For example, you could try lining both your shoes and the area around your shoes with double-sided tape. Many cats hate this and will thus avoid urinating in the area.
Thanks for reading our articles on cat urine removal and prevention here at Urine Off Reviews. If these suggestions don’t help you train your cat to use kitty litter, your cat may be acting up because it feels starved for attention. To alleviate this problem, make sure you devote a minimum of 30 minutes a day to your cat.
Potential Reasons for Dog Odor
Filed Under Pet urine removal, Uncategorized, cat urine | Comments OffHi, and welcome back to Urine Off Reviews where we discuss issues of cat urine, dog urine, and pet odor in general. Today I’ll talk about the potential reasons for dog odor, if that’s what you’re suffering under.
If you’re a pet owner, you know that unsightly stains and unappealing odors are a fact of life. If you’re a dog owner, you’re particularly familiar with this problem! Many dogs, no matter how thoroughly or how frequently you groom them, may give off a distinctive odor.
This odor is often totally natural. After all, every animal - even humans! - emit a unique smell of some sort. If you’re new to pet ownership, just give yourself a while to adjust. Before long, you’ll probably get used to your pet’s aroma.
But sometimes, odors can indicate a problem. If you notice that your dog’s odor seems to changing, or if it starts to increase in its strength, something may be wrong. Many unnatural circumstances contribute to this.
One of the most common causes of uncomfortable pet odor is a lack of grooming, or other improper grooming techniques. Pet coats are a lot like human skin: they need to be taken care of regularly. If your pet’s coat is not cleaned with some frequency, it can start to collect dirt, germs, and other substances that may emit a bad smell. (Just think about what your dog rolls around in all day - then imagine all of that junk staying in his coat!)
The necessity of grooming varies by breed of dog. Short-haired breeds, for example, need to be groomed less frequently. You can often perform effective maintenance at your own home, simply by brushing your dog regularly. Long-haired breeds, and breeds that have thick coats, however, need some more complex care. You may need to visit a professional to make sure your pets are well taken care of.
Another potential cause of pet odor might be dental disease. You’ve probably heard about - or maybe even smelled - “dog breath,” that unappealing odor that seems strong enough to strip the paint from a car! But this isn’t just due to what a dog eats; rotten breath can be an indicator of real disease. Other signs of dental disease you should watch for include excessive drooling, which can negatively impact the skin around your dog’s mouth and thereby cause a terrible smell comparable in intensity to cat urine.
Here’s another potential cause that might surprise you: ear disease. Would you ever expect that your dog’s EARS might be causing his smell?! We here at Urine Off Reviews implore you to take care of your pet’s ears. If they are not cleaned thoroughly, regularly, and appropriately, ears can become breeding grounds for germs, bacteria, and even viruses. These microorganisms can fester in dirty ears until they start to cause a musty odor.
Remember that no pet is going to smell like a bed of roses. A little bit of normal pet odor is just a fact of life for those people who have dogs. But if you start to notice changes in your pet’s odor, you should consult your veterinarian immediately to make sure your pet isn’t sick. Regular checkups, and responsible grooming at home, are also crucial to eliminating unnatural pet diseases and their resulting odors.
Today at Urine Off Reviews we discussed the reasons for dog odor. Please join us again to discuss issues of cat urine, dog urine, urine removal, and pet hygiene in general.
Choosing the Perfect Cat Litter Box
Filed Under Pet urine removal, Uncategorized, Urine Removal, cat urine | Comments OffWelcome back to Urine Off Reviews. Today, we’ll go a little off topic and talk specifically about cats; my favorite type of pet. Unfortunately, cat urine is also the strongest odor you will have to face as a pet owner.
Are you currently the proud owner of a furry feline friend? Or are you just starting to consider making a cat a part of your life? Whatever the case, you should know that litter boxes are an important component of cat ownership.
Litter boxes are now available in a wide variety of shapes, styles, and sizes. At Urine Off Reviews, we’ve found that choosing the right litter box can be beneficial for both you and your cat, and helpful for keeping cat urine at a minimum. So before you run out to the store and buy a litter box, here are some guidelines to keep in mind: the placement of your litter box, the size of your litter box, and the type of litter you will use.
Here’s an important tip to remember: if you have more than one cat, you should have more than one litter box. In fact, a good rule of thumb to follow is that you should have one litter box for every cat you have. Accessibility is also a consideration, so if you live in a large house or a house with multiple stories, you may want to place a litter box on each floor.
A good choice to make in litter box selection is to choose a model that has a hood. But remember that the opening in this hood must be big enough for your cat to enter and exit comfortably. Your litter box itself should be large enough to comfortably accommodate your cat, too.
Another reason for a large litter box is that cats often use the bathroom a few times each day. These picky animals want, and even need, to have plenty of clean space to do their business.
One potential drawback of litter boxes with hoods is that they can sometimes trap the unpleasant smells of cat urine and feces. You must clean your litter box regularly to prevent the buildup of these odors, because your cat will refuse to use a litter box that is unclean or smelly. You will probably need to clean your litter box once a day, and if you want to avoid the hassle, you could opt for a self-cleaning litter box model.
Now, choose where to put your litter box. Never put your cat’s litter box by their food! Just like people, cats do not like to have to eat in the same place that they use the restroom. Your litter box should be far away from the food area, preferably in a quiet area with relatively little traffic. Avoid carpet, but try to place the litter box near a window to ensure proper ventilation.
Finally, choose a litter to fill your box. There are many varieties of cat litter available: corn-based, wheat-based, even litters that are made from recycled paper! The best way to determine what litter is right for you and your cat is by trying many types. You can also add baking soda to your litter box to reduce the odor even more.
