Odorfix Plus is Fragrance-free because We are not in business to cover up odors.

Removing dog or cat urine from carpet, concrete, upholstery, or clothing is a relatively easy task.

The key to successfully removing dog or cat urine from carpet is treating the area with a quality bacterial product.

Using bacteria specifically designed to consume urine is the only permanent solution in removing all traces of urine embedded within carpet, concrete, clothing, or any water-safe material.

Reasons why you may have failed to remove urine odors

"Ready-to-use enzyme cleaners are diluted with water and have a relatively short shelf life, as little as three months, depending on the formulation."

Because ready-to-use enzyme cleaners are diluted with water, they require the use of preservatives, and many companies use harsh chemicals like propylene glycol, a skin and eye irritant, and other neurotoxic glycol ethers such as butyl cellosolve.

But you can avoid harsh preservatives to a certain degree by purchasing enzyme concentrates, which, because of their lower water content, require fewer preservatives.

Do be aware that, as a general rule, ready-to-use enzyme cleaners have a relatively short shelf life, as little as three months, depending on the formulation

  • Not using a high grade bacterial odor remover
  • Using a pre-mixed urine odor remover that may have degraded over time
  • Using a spray type odor remover that only treats the surface of the carpet
  • Not treating the area more than once

Removing dried cat urine from carpet. This also applies to human and dog urine stains.

  1. Locate exactly where the urine odor is emanating from. For best results, use a florescent black light in total darkness. The stains will appear as a greenish hue.
  2. Mix 1 part (1 cup) Odorfix Plus to 10 parts (10 cups) water. The 16 oz. size of Odorfix Plus makes 5 quarts when diluted according to instructions.
  3. For each stained area pour 1-2 cups of the mixed solution onto the carpet. Allow the mixture to soak into the carpet for 24 hours.

If the cat urine in the carpet is wet or damp to the touch, remove the urine by placing paper towels over the stain and pressing firmly with your feet to absorb as much as the urine from the carpet. Repeat with dry paper towels until most of the urine has been absorbed.

Then follow the instructions above (steps 1-3) on removing dried cat urine from carpet.

How do I find where the odors are coming from?

Easy.   You can get a florescent black light, ultraviolet light, at Wal-Mart or novelty store for about $10, this will help you locate all the urine stains.  The black light, when used in the dark, will illuminate all the urine stained areas - the stains will show up as a bright yellowish hue. You'll be amazed at what you may find!  An incandescent (light bulb) black light does not work! Note:  Even after the odors are eliminated using enzymes, the yellowish hue will remain visible under a black light. 

On what surfaces will Odorfix work?

Odorfix works on any thing or surface so long as the enzymatic solution comes into contact with the urine compounds.  Odorfix is not recommended for materials that can discolor or warp, e.g., oriental rugs, fine upholstery, leather, hardwood floors, etc., which can be permanently damaged due to discoloration and or water damaged.

How much Odorfix Plus will I need?

The 16 oz. size makes 5 quarts, use 1 cup of solution to the soiled area.  Treat each area at least 3 times to completely eliminate the urine compounds so that your pet will not smell any residual urine.

Will Odorfix work on chairs, sofas, or mattresses?

Urine can dispersed throughout the foam and can be very difficult to reach and treat successfully. This will require multiple treatments and patience.

Can Odorfix be used to treat large areas, such as whole rooms?

We do not recommend treating large areas, such as a whole room. It is only recommended for localized spot treatments. Generally, if a large area is involved the amount of damage due to urine saturation can only be eliminated by the removal and replacement of the carpet and sub floor.

Will Odorfix remove urine odors from the padding underneath the carpet or will I have to replace the padding?

Odorfix will even remove the odors from the padding without having to remove the carpet.  When Odorfix's enzyme solution is poured onto the carpet, the solution will saturate the carpet, penetrating the carpet padding, and the sub floor - just as the urine did.  By saturating the carpet, the solution comes into contact with all the urine residue, eliminating the urine odors. There is no requirement to lift the carpet up to expose the padding, besides, the carpet itself has urine stains.

Can Odorfix be used in carpet cleaning machines?

Dilute Odorfix Plus to a ratio of 1 part to 20 parts water and add to the steam cleaner as a pretreatment. Then treat each area according to instructions.

Where can I buy Odorfix?

Odorfix can only be purchased through our website. By using the internet as the point of purchase, expenses are kept to a minimum and the saving can be passed on to the consumer.

Will Odorfix work on hardwood floors?

Odorfix is not recommended for finished or unfinished wood floors due to possible discoloration and swelling. If you are going to treat finished floors, pour a small quantity of Odorfix Plus on the area and cover with a towel. Repeat the application 3-5 times.

Will Odorfix work on sub floors?

Yes.  Odorfix works on any surface or material the solution comes into contact with.  The solution must be allowed to penetrate into the wood pores just as the urine had penetrated.  This is only recommended for small, localized spot treatments.

Will Odorfix remove urine odors from concrete?

Yes.  Odorfix works on any surface or material the solution comes into contact with.  Concrete is porous just like wood.  Just pour the solution on the concrete and let dry.

Will Odorfix remove urine odors from yards, dirt, etc?

Yes. Simply sprinkle Odorfix on suspected areas and wet the area with a garden hose. Saturate the area daily, or at least 5 times to ensure the enzymes have dissolved completely.

Can Odorfix be used in kennels?

Yes, but do not allow animals to come into contact with the liquid solution. Let the area dry prior to introducing the animal back in the area.

How can I keep my cat from urinating on the carpet?

Cats tend to urinate wherever there are "cat" urine odors present.  By removing the urine odors from the carpet and by providing a clean litter box, you can change your cats behavioral habits.  Also, if you have more than one cat, some cats prefer to have their own litter box.
