-
Stapro Stakill used neat as a pre-treatment is very effective.

How good is this urineoff.
I see online its £18.45 for a 500ml bottle. Not a bad price if it will work on every stain without fail, but a high price compare to most stain removers we all purchase.
-
Karl,
£18.45 + P&P is a lot of money to pay for a 500ml SAMPLE, that may prove to be no better that the 15ltr+ of B153 you could buy for the same price.
One of the reasons Nicks products grew in popularity so fast is that he supplied free or low-cost samples, then let the products sell themselves.
I have lost track of the money I have spent on retail-sized packs of chemical that I threw away after trying. I don't expect samples to be free but if more manufactures/distributors were prepared to offer sample-sized packs, perhaps more would be tried and more of the better ones sold.

Looks an interesting product; expressly with this statement works 100% on any urine stain old or new.
On the trigger spay picture it states Not Contents 500ml from that I take it it’s not the standard metric measurement but US metric?

Cool John
Just in case you forget
For fresh urine deposits:
Do not use any other cleaners or chemicals. Do not shampoo carpet or upholstery. If you plan to have the carpet or upholstery shampooed anyway, do this only after you have removed all urine odour and stain with Urine-Off.
Soak up as much urine as possible by blotting with paper towels. Do not use your shoe to press down the paper towels, as urine residue on your shoe will track urine scent for several steps! Use your hand and then wash, or use a protective glove.
Use the stream setting on nozzle and saturate the urine stain and the underlying padding with Urine-Off. (Urine-Off must contact all of the urine-soaked material completely to remove the odour and stain).
Allow to air dry
After urine odour and stain are removed, remove residue by applying a small amount of water to the area and blotting it up with a paper towel. It is important to remove the residue or the area may attract dirt.
For old dried urine stains:
Be aware that long-term urine exposure can actually burn the dyes in the carpet. Such damage is not common, but even the most complete urine removal cannot reverse it.
Do not use any other cleaners or chemicals! Do not shampoo carpet. If you plan to have the carpet shampooed anyway, do this only after you have removed all urine odor and stain with Urine-Off.
Strongly recommended: Use a Urine-Off Black Light to locate all affected areas (for details, see the Black Light section of these instructions above).
Use the stream setting on nozzle and saturate stained material and underlying padding with Urine-Off (Urine-Off must contact all of the urine soaked material completely to remove the odour and stain).
For particularly old or difficult stains, saturate the area and cover with plastic wrap, allowing Urine-Off to stay moist longer.
Note that as the first application of Urine-Off goes to work, the urine odour may actually intensify at first.
This is normal with old or heavy urine deposits, and indicates that the urine is being broken loose and is rising to the surface.
After a few hours, remove the plastic and blot the area dry with paper towels.
Repeat application on subsequent days until stain is no longer visible (may take 3-4 applications) and odour is removed.
After urine odour and stain are removed, remove residue by applying a small amount of water to the area and blotting up with paper towel. It is important to remove residue or the area may attract dirt.
I wonder if all this data is on the trigger spay? Noticed a lot of get out clauses, cant blame them!

I thought I would check out our local Pet Superstore on our retail park to see if they stock anything that might do the job. To my surprise they sell a product called Simple Solutions "Stain and Odour Remover". It is an American product and it claims to work "First Time, Every Time".
It states on the bottle: Removes stains and odours from urine, vomit, Faeces, blood, dirt, grass and more.Professional strength formula with the newest bacteria/enzyme technology. Works on both new and old problem areas. The good bit is that for 945mls it costs £5.49!! The Uk distributor is in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

Woodman tried "simple solutions" with excellent results.
