Something that kills urine and poop smell

[Wyo- Dogue de Bordeaux]

I was wondering if there is something else besides outdoor bleach that I could use outside to get the smell off our cement and dog area. Our neighbors live very close and we spend a lot of time outside and sometimes the smell is really bad. I pressure wash the cement once a week in the spring and summer with bleach and it never seems to kill the smell completely. So I was wondering if there is something better to use.

I also would like to know how to get marking stains off walls and carpets inside the house. Our female ddb just came out if heat but it seems like my two little dogs marked in the house this time. I shampoo carpets and wash walls with bleach. I have also used hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and vinegar. Thanks for the input!!!

I've had good luck using Rug Doctor's Urine eliminator in the house. I have no idea if it would work outside on concrete or not as I've never tried.

How long are you leaving the Bleach down?

I use bleach in my kennel, I leave it for about 1/2 hour to an hour, then I rinse.
I do this once a month to kill anything from having boarders


I clean with Top Performance 256 Disinfectant & Deodorizer

I use Pyranha Odaway Concentrated Odor Absorber in my barn and on the outter patio area. My boy does not mark our living areas but we are having issues with some sort of creature, opossum, coyote or racoon maybe marking at night. You can smell it first thing in the mornings when you are near the barn entrance. I also use a trifectant mix for cleaning our patio. It is a sanitizer for outdoor surfaces and barnwood. You can get either at most horse (tack) stores or on line. It works pretty well and comes in concentrated form that you mix with water.

We also used trifectant and kennel sol at the animal shelter I worked at.

I will look into both of those. I normally leave the bleach in for about an hour and lock them in the house while we are doing it.

We've had good luck in the house with "nature's miracle" and the "simple solution" enzymatic deodorizers.
They have a sand-like sprinkle powder available, too that might work better outdoors. Not sure on the price-tag. The sprinkles came in a kit we got, but it was only enough for about 2 sqft - good for ~10 little spots, not really a patio's worth.

Thanks for the info. Going to see if our local mom and pop pet store has these brands in.

Plain old white vinegar (I generally use 1/2 and 1/2 with water). This actually chemically neutralizes the ammonia in the urine which is the main cause of urine odor.

I even use this on my carpet in problem areas (I had a 12yr old boxer that was incontinent). It very quickly eliminates the urine smell all the way down to the pad (just be sure to try it in closet or something first to see how your carpet reacts). The vinegar smell dissipates very quickly as it dries and the difference is amazing.

Borax, though be careful when using and make sure to test fabric surfaces first (same general principle as baking soda, but seems to work a bit better). We used it to kill the raunchy dishwasher stink when we first moved in and it had water sitting in it for a few months. My mum always used ammonia to help get rid of the urine smell when our ancient cat became incontinent, but with that stuff it was sort of a toss-up as to which smelled worse in my bedroom

Odormute...

 

[southbeltdon]

nature's miracle advance formula works well for me

We found stuff that works inside, just not really outside. We have been using outdoor bleach on the back patio (cement) but in the dog run we haven't found anything that will take the smell away.

Odormute works indoors and outdoors. Its an enzymatic agent. It does not mask the odor by covering it up. It works better than anything I've ever tried. I usually buy the 5 pound container. You just mix the powder with water and saturate the area. I "think" (?), you can also just apply the powder.

Sweet. I will have to do some research on and see where I can get it from. Thank you!!

I've used Odormute as well..this was going to be my recommendation.

We used it when I was a kid when we had GSDs that stayed out in a kennel during the day. It does really well with the odors.
