This product did not meet my needs for eliminating skunk odor, it may be fine as a deodorizer for just dog or cat smells, however it did not phase the odor from skunk spray on my dogs bedding or outdoor rug on the patio even after I washed these items and added the product to wash and rinse water. Sorry it doesn’t work for skunk spray odor elimination.

One ounce added to laundry takes cat urine smell out completely. Tried everything I could think of. Only thing that worked. One bottle is enough for 128 loads it's a great value. Only about $.50 per load. Saved me several hundred dollars worth of clothes.

This is the best enzymatic cleaner we've used. It does a good job with cat urine and doesn't rely on fragrance to deal with odor. Of all such cleaners, this one seems to have the mildest scent although it's still scented if you're sensitive to that. It does a good job with odor, I'd even say a very good job in places where the urine isn't heavy. Certainly not a magic solution that will eliminate all odor in places where a cat pees fairly frequently, but such a magic solution doesn't actually exist (short of replacing the floors). Spraying this cleaner without a mask on doesn't anger my airways nearly as quickly as all other enzyme cleaners (and most cleaners, period) do, so I feel like it's better for my old asthmatic kittyman (who is, and has always been, The Curious Urinator). This will be the only enzyme cleaner we'll be using for the foreseeable future.

We have a LOT of pets. Consequently, I've had ample opportunity to evaluate many smell removal products over the last 15 years. Without any doubt, Pureayre works. The people complaining that it doesn't work aren't using it correctly. Read and follow the directions exactly and you will be left with nothing but clean air.When first applied, Pureayre Pet does have a slight peppermint smell. It's not a heavy masking or cloying odor and it dissapates quickly. I am extremely sensitive to smells and chemicals and I find Purayre completely safe and effective. It is safe to spray directly on to pets, clothes, furniture, etc. It is non-staining and food safe. When used correctly it does annihilate cat pee, dog pee, trash, and other bad smells. It doesn't cover them, it destroys the source of the odors. We have been using Pureayre Pet for 5 years and I have nothing but good things to say about it.(PS: Just so there's no confusion, this product is not designed for stain removal and consequently does not remove stains. It works only on odors.)

This is a food-grade enzyme that destroys odors rather than masking them. I bought this as a refill, having used up the portion of Pure Ayre that my mom gave me a couple of years ago. My poor kitty had a UTI that I discovered when she began relieving herself all over the house earlier this summer. After I received this shipment, I saturated the affected areas of carpet using a spray bottle. For a day or two, the urine smell was more prevalent, but I believe that is because I had moistened it. Now that the product has done its job and dried, there is a huge improvement in the odor! I may need to apply a second treatement after I go around doing a sniff test at each location. And I did not have to worry about safety for my children or pets because this is not a harmful chemical.An important thing to note is that you will save yourself a lot of guesswork by locating your problem spots with a black light before you apply this product. I got this idea because my mom had included such a light when she gave me my first bottle of Pure Ayre.If you a wondering, my kitty has been to the vet, has completed her antibiotic regimen, and has been given a clean bill of health. Hopefully I won't need to use more of this for removing urine odors any time soon. Perhaps it's time to go after my son's shoes...

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 pet blanket which is fleece on both sides with a waterproof membrane in the middle. As a final topper I have a 100% cotton throw which further absorbs 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.
