Removing Urine Odor in Backyards: How-To Guide
Tired of your backyard reeking of cat or dog urine whenever the weather turns hot and humid? Don’t let a little pee smell cramp your fair-weather fun. This How-To Guide tells you everything you need to know about eliminating pet urine smell from any backyard surface – quickly, safely and completely. Eliminating animal pee smell (and all other unwanted odors) is easier than you think! In this guide: What’s the best product for eliminating urine odor: Neutralizer or deodorizer?How odor neutralizers workRemoving urine odor from hard surfacesRemoving urine odor from fabric surfacesRemoving urine odor from organic surfaces Eliminating other backyard odors Getting rid of skunk smell in backyardEliminating strong smell in garbage, recycling and compost binsHow to get more bang for your buck with multi-purpose odor destroyersWhere to find Purodora products What’s the best product for eliminating urine odor: Neutralizer or deodorizer? Many odor removers aren’t actually odor removers at all. They simply mask the odor, such as deodorizers. These products will work for a while, but eventually the pee smell will come back. Deodorizers often simply produce an unpleasant mix of odors that can make the situation worse. Purodora products use advanced odor neutralizing technology to eliminate even the most stubborn odors on contact (including products that eliminate skunk smell). Pro Tip How to stop animals from repeatedly urinating on the same spot Some animals like unneutered male cats will often mark their territory. Because their urine contains hormones that give it a particularly strong scent, these hormones will attract other animals for as long as any traces of the urine odor remain. There’s also a good chance that the initial culprit will come back to refresh his mark so as to not lose his territory. This can lead to a vicious (and smelly) cycle that can quickly discourage any pet owner. The only way to break this cycle is to eliminate the urine odor completely. Read on to see how. How odor neutralizers work Purodora odor neutralizers quickly eliminate all types of urine odors, including cat or dog urine, completely, quickly and permanently – even if the odor has been around for months or years. As soon as the product comes into contact with the source of the odor, it molecularly binds to it to neutralize the odor. The odor instantly disappears. The only smell that’s left behind is a light pleasant scent. See the science behind this advanced odor neutralizing technology and why Purodora products are guaranteed to work! Pro Tips The key is to make sure the odor neutralizer reaches ALL of the urine To eliminate the smell completely and permanently, odor neutralizers must come in contact with all of the urine (the source of the odor). To remove urine odors from porous or absorbent surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, soil, crushed stone, ceramic grout, raw wood or fabrics, a few treatments may be needed for the product to penetrate deep enough to reach all of the urine.

Then make a circle (using a string or other means) around the affected area. Make the circle 4 to 5 inches bigger than you think it needs to be to ensure you reach all of the urine (it may have spread beyond the visible stain). Use a syringe and needle to inject Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer directly into the cushion. Inject between 3 to 5 ml of the undiluted product at 1-inch (2.5 cm) intervals. Start at the outer edge of the circle and work your way in toward the center. That way you’ll be sure that the product will reach all of the urine.

Six tips to prevent unpleasant odours in your home
The holiday season is approaching and preparations are well underway, but what about those little odor problems around the house? Purodora Lab offers a complete range of products to help you eliminate any unpleasant odour. From cigarette odors to pet odors, garbage odors to moisture odors, we've got specialized products that will quickly make a difference. Removing unpleasant odours from the air Whether you want to eliminate a bad odor or simply freshen up the air, there's a more effective method than using an air freshener or candle. (D-500) Hard, Non-Porous Surfaces Disinfectant & Animal Odor Neutralizer is ideal for eliminating pet odors from room air, and leaves a fresh scent for several days. If you have a ventilation system or air exchanger, we recommend spraying the diluted (D-500) Hard, Non-Porous Surfaces Disinfectant & Animal Odor Neutralizer directly onto the filters and switching on the unit. By using this product in this way, you can eliminate unpleasant odours in the ventilation ducts and throughout the ambient air.If you don't have a ventilation system, you can spray the diluted product onto a clean cloth and attach it to a standing fan. Then turn on the fan for about an hour in each room you wish to treat. For cigarette odours in the air, we suggest you use the same technique as with (D-500) Hard, Non-Porous Surfaces Disinfectant & Animal Odor Neutralizer, but instead use Smoke Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer for hard surfaces. This product is specifically formulated to eliminate cigarette odors in the air and in the home.If you're dealing with the smell of moisture in the air, use the same technique as above, but this time using a dilution of Damp Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer. This product works wonders for eliminating musty or damp odors in the home. Neutralize unpleasant odors on textiles Some of your sofas, carpets, mattresses or cushions may give off unpleasant odors and be difficult or impossible to clean. Why not use products that are specifically designed for use on fabrics and that will effectively eliminate unpleasant odors?If you have a problem with dog, damp or cigarette odors on fabrics, we recommend spraying Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics & Ambiant Air. This product is an odor neutralizer that quickly eliminates moisture, cigarette or dog odors from any fabric, without damaging the fabric. And because it's alcohol-based, it won't cause mildew on thicker surfaces like mattresses, sofas or cushions. Removing unpleasant odours from garbage cans To get rid of bad smells coming from the trash, the best product to use is Garbage Bin & Container Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer. In less than a few minutes, the unpleasant odors will be completely gone, whether it's an odor in a trash can, recycling bin or compost bin. Simply empty the bin of its contents and spray Garbage Bin & Container Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer all over, including the lid. Leave for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Spray again before putting on the bag. Eliminating odours in the cage or litter box If you have a cat, rat, mouse, ferret or other small animal at home, their cage or litter box may be giving off unpleasant odors. To avoid this unpleasant odor, we recommend cleaning and neutralizing the smell of urine or excrement with Small Animal Cage Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer or Litter Box Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer. These products are safe for pets and eliminate odors encrusted in the plastic or metal tray. Simply empty the cage or litter box of its contents and spray Small Animal Cage Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer or Litter Box Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer all over the interior. Leave the product to work for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Afterwards, you can put clean litter back inside the box or cage, and the unpleasant odours will be completely gone! Removing unpleasant odours from your dog During winter, it can be more difficult to shampoo your dog. To avoid wet hair odors, we recommend Skunk Odor Neutralizer for Pets. This product is an odor neutralizer for pet hair and skunk odors. It requires no rinsing, is dermatologically tested and non-irritating, and is an effective way to eliminate unpleasant odors from a pet's coat. Simply spray the product directly onto the fur and rub or brush the animal to ensure thorough penetration. Eliminating unpleasant odours from your garbage disposal A garbage disposal is a great addition to any kitchen, but after a while it can become a source of unpleasant odors. To neutralize this waste odor effectively, we recommend the use of (D-500) Hard, Non-Porous Surfaces Disinfectant & Animal Odor Neutralizer. This product is highly effective in neutralizing the smell of food encrusted in the pipe. The first thing to do is to soak a sponge in (D-500) Hard, Non-Porous Surfaces Disinfectant & Animal Odor Neutralizer Concentrate and clean the inside of your garbage disposal with this sponge. Then pour 120 ml (4 oz.) of the product into your grinder and leave overnight. This allows the product to neutralize the odor that has infiltrated the disposer. The next morning, simply turn on the disposer for a few minutes while running hot water through it. To prevent the smell from coming back, you can repeat the second stage of the treatment about once a week.
