[Felvtalk] urine odors

The vinegar and water solution is a great deodorizer all around.  Poop and pee.  But you have to saturate an area, let it soak awhile and then clean as usual.

Unfortunately more than a few of my rescues "think outside of the box" or are cross-eyed or something when it comes to pooping.  Will the strong vinegar solution work on Eau de Poop, a really unpleasant combination when another cat comes along and douses the blob with a generous helping of Parfume de Piss?  I don't much like the odor of vinegar either but it certainly has it all over the air unfreshener the cats produce.  I have to admit it's not entirely their fault.  I have been away from home to many hours since I and most of the cats were
 forced to move to another county to save the cats from the horrid gestapo of Animal Control, and the boxes are always a mess, so shame on me.  Hopefully  once I get the rest of the cats to the new place things will be different. However until then I still don't want to inhale the stuff.

We've actually done half vinegar and half water and yes it can be used on anything.

We've actually incorporated the  vinegar and water into our weekly cleaning sessions.  We fill spray bottles with vinegar and water and spray corners of the rooms and cat trees and everything (hot spots, where cats do bad things) and just spritz it all down and let it sit for 20 minutes or so before going through the normal cleaning routine.

After the vinegar and water soak we vaccuum and mop with Dr. Broners peppermit liquid soap, and wipe down surfaces and all.  But the vinegar and water really deals with odors well.

I have not used it in the washing machine yet but I think I'll be trying that very soon.

For the record I have never liked the smell of vinegar.  But the vinegar smell dissipates and
 it really does nutralize odors

When you use vinegar and water what is the measurements? Can it be used on carpets?
Thanks!

I also swear by X-O, it's available as an odor neutralizer and also cleaner/odor neutralizer. It smells great, comes in concentrated form, and you can dilute however you wish; can also be used as air freshener.
