Pet Urine & Odor Treatments in Cincinnati, OH

Pet Odor Removal

When urine dries, the urea is broken down by the bacteria, making it smell like ammonia. As it decomposes, it releases thiols that worsen the odor (the thiols in skunk spray make the smell SO potent and difficult to remove).

The urea and urobilin/urobilinogen are not hard to clean. Urea, urobilin/urobilinogen, creatinine, and pheromones are water-soluble (urobilin is the pigment that causes the color stain). Traditional household or carpet cleaners initially deal with these, but the problem won't get solved because uric acid and its salts get left behind and soluble bonds tightly to whatever surface it touches.

Due to the uric acid component, urine has a half-life of six years, making it essential to use a cleaner that can break down the uric acid if you want to eliminate the smell. Unfortunately, most common cleaners are not chemically capable of breaking down the uric acid in cat pee. The cleaners and deodorizers only temporarily make the smell disappear and appear to work because they clean up the other components of the cat's urine. But when exposed to humidity, the uric acid salts cause the uric acid crystals to reform. This process rereleases the foul odor, not always at levels detectable to the human nose. Still, animals can sense the scent, encouraging them to follow suit and add to the pet urine odor.
