(More customer reviews)As a multiple cat owner, there's no way to avoid one of the worst odors in the world: cat urine. PureAyre is the only product I've found that really does eliminate this odor. I've been using it for over 8 years now, ever since I witnessed the founder of the company at a home improvement show squirt it straight into his mouth to prove how safe PureAyre was. I bought a couple of spray bottles at the show and didn't have to wait very long for an opportunity to try it -- my 20 year old cat had peed on her sherpa pad bed again. I rinsed the bed, then heavily sprayed it with PureAyre. Like the instructions say, ideally you should leave it on to work its odor-killing magic until the object dries out. I was truly amazed when no cat pee odor was left! I tried to always have some on hand, even though it was very expensive then. When my latest cat arrived 3 years ago, she decided to mark her territory and outright pee on clothing and worst of all, my $4K nubuck leather couch (which she'd peed on repeatedly before it was discovered). Unfortunately I was out of PureAyre and back then the only way to get it in quantity was to mailorder from the company. In a panic I ran to the pet store and got Nature's Miracle and Simple Solution. After applying both the odor was actually worse, because it smelled like cat pee underneath the cleaning solutions. After this disastrous experiment, I called PureAyre and had them Fedex two gallons to me. I sprayed the outside of the non-removable cushions heavily, used a syringe to inject at least a gallon of PureAyre into the cushions, tipped the couch back, turned on some box fans to help dry it out and crossed my fingers. After 3 days, it wasn't completely dry but the cat pee odor was finally gone and my couch was saved. The important lesson to me was to always always always have PureAyre on hand. As I've become hypersensitive to the smell of cat urine, I now use PureAyre if there's even the faintest whiff of pee or puke, and to freshen up the litter boxes. PureAyre has a slightly herbal, minty aroma that doesn't linger.
After many years of dealing with cats peeing on the bed and tearing my hair out, I'd like to share my strategy for dealing with this problem. Most important, the best insurance against worst-case scenarios short of having an airbed is to have a good waterproof mattress cover that's comfortable and doesn't make crinkly plastic noises. On top of my bedding, I always have a Mambe blanket which is fleece on one side and waterproof material on the other (it's soft but not absorbent). As a final topper I have a 100% cotton throw which will absorb the pee or puke. Now when I come home to find someone's had an accident, all I usually have to do is scoop up the Mambe blanket and cotton throw and toss both into the washer (with some PureAyre in the rinse), tumble dry, and everything is squared away well before bedtime. I don't always sleep with the Mambe blanket or cotton throw especially when the weather's warm, but religiously keep the bed covered in this manner especially when I'm not there, when stuff seems to happen.
PureAyre is not a disinfectant or even an effective cleaner by itself. It does one thing and that is to positively eliminate the nastiest odors in the air, and in areas and on things you can't put in the washer. The ideal procedure would be to use a cleaning solution (such as non-toxic Simple Green) if possible, thoroughly rinse with water, then end with an application of PureAyre, allowing time so it can fully "eat away" the odor-causing compounds. Believe me, I've tried competing products over the years in an attempt to save money (Nature's Miracle, Simple Solution, Urine Off, Anti-Icky Poo, etc.) and none can compare to PureAyre. If you need disinfecting power, an excellent and very safe disinfectant is a botanical one called Benefect that smells like thyme. Together these two great products tackle all of my tough pet and household conditions and always win.
