Tips for Removing Urine Smell from Ceramic Floors
When it comes to eliminating urine odors, ceramic floors can be a conundrum. It’s actually not the ceramic tiles that are the trouble, but the porous grout in the joints. If you’ve been struggling with urine odors on your ceramic floors, we have the solution! Here are our 4 top tips for removing urine odors from any ceramic floor. Plus a couple of bonus pro tips ☺ Tip #1 Use a urine odor neutralizer. Removing the smell of urine from any surface requires the right products. Ceramic floors are no exception. A conventional cleaning product will certainly leave the floor clean, but it won’t necessarily eliminate the pee smell. And spraying the room with an air deodorizer will only temporarily mask the urine odor. To remove the smell of urine completely and permanently, you need an odor neutralizer that’s specifically designed to neutralize the odor-causing molecules in urine. Tip #2 Treat the grout, not the tile. Grout is highly porous, making it a great odor-absorber. We recommend using Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer, which is specifically designed to eliminate the smell of animal and human urine on all sorts of surfaces in and around the house, including porous grout. It eliminates urine odors on contact – even those that have been around for years. Why use Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer: Guaranteed to neutralize urine smells instantly and permanentlyEasy to use; just spray and walk awayAlcohol-based: works on contact and evaporates quickly; no risk of moldSafe for people and petsLeaves behind a fresh citrus scent How to remove urine smells from ceramic floors Locate the area where the urine odor is coming from and enlarge the treatment area by about a foot. Use a squirt bottle (see photo below) to apply Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer directly to the grout.Wipe the ceramic tiles dry with a clean cloth. No need to rinse or remove Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer from the grout. It’s alcohol-based and will evaporate quickly.Ventilate the room during treatment. Tip #3 Make sure you get ALL of the urine. If you can still detect the smell of urine after an initial treatment with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer, it means there’s still some urine somewhere on the floor. If the floor is in a bathroom, a good place to look (or rather to sniff) is around the bathtub and toilet. If the floor is in a kitchen, the urine may have seeped under the lower cabinets, walls or even a patio door. Underneath baseboard heaters is another good place to investigate. Bonus Pro Tip #1 If there are any cracks in the surface, such as under the baseboard trim, between the boards in floors or between the floor and a lower cabinet, then there’s a good chance the urine seeped in beneath. Instead of spraying, use a squirt bottle to inject the product between the cracks so that it can reach the urine and neutralize the smell. Bonus Pro Tip #2 If your pet peed around a baseboard heater, your best option is to remove the heater so that you can properly spray the wall behind it where the pee has pooled. Never spray Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer directly inside the heater. The product is alcohol-based and could potentially cause a spark. Tip #4 Make sure you eliminate ALL of the smell. If the urine odor has been present for a long time, or if your pet has urinated on the same spot several times, the urine has probably seeped deep into the grout. A single treatment with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer may not be enough. A second treatment will allow the product to penetrate deeper and reach the remaining urine. Pee happens. Be ready. Rare is the dog that has never had an accident. Buy Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer today so that if your dog goes on the carpet all of a sudden, you’ll be able to act right away.

Get smoke smell out of car
Driving in a car that smells of cigarette smoke is no joyride. Nor is it an easy sell if you ever want to trade it in. This How-To Guide explains how to get rid of tobacco odors from any surface in your vehicle so that you can breathe easy and boost its resale value. These techniques work for all types of tobacco odors, including cigars and cannabis. In this guide: What’s the best cigarette smell remover: Neutralizer or deodorizer?How odor neutralizers workThe right technique for removing cigarette smell in cars Removing cigarette smell from car fabricsGetting rid of cigarette smell from plastic surfaces in carEliminating cigarette smell in the car’s ventilation systemWhat to do if your car still smells of cigarette smoke after a few treatmentsGetting more bang for your buck with multi-purpose odor destroyersWhere to find Purodora products Pro Tip Why eliminating cigarette smells in a car is so darn difficultCigarette odors are among the most persistent and difficult odors to remove. That’s because smoke can infiltrate just about anything and anywhere – the ventilation system, the carpets, the seats, the plastic, the seatbelts – you name it. We recommend against using an odor bomb or ozone generator, which will only mask the smell and can potentially create a very unpleasant mix of odors. Better to use the right products and methods. That way, you’ll be guaranteed to eliminate the smell of tobacco entirely from your car without damaging the surfaces. What’s the best cigarette smell remover: Neutralizer or deodorizer? The particle that gives off that strong, lingering cigarette smell (nicotine) can seep into any hard or absorbent surface in your vehicle. When it comes to eliminating any unwanted smell – tobacco or otherwise – you have to locate the source of the odor and neutralize it. Unfortunately, few products sold in stores are odor neutralizers; they simply mask or deodorize the smell. Some merely create an unpleasant mix of odors that can actually make the situation worse. Even if these products do work for a while, the cigarette smell will eventually return. To completely eliminate stubborn cigarette odors for good, you need a product containing an odor neutralizer that’s specific to the nicotine molecule creating the odor. Purodora products use advanced odor-neutralizing technology to eliminate even the most stubborn odors on contact (including products that eliminate skunk smell). How odor neutralizers work Purodora odor neutralizers quickly and permanently to eliminate all types of smoke odor problems, including cigar and cannabis. They can even eliminate odors that have been around for 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 Purodora products leave behind is a fresh, pleasant scent. See the science behind this advanced odor neutralizing technology and why Purodora products are guaranteed to work! Pro Tip For best results, make sure the odor neutralizer reaches ALL of the cigarette odor To eliminate the unwanted smell completely and permanently, odor neutralizers need to come into contact with the entire source of the odor. For deeply embedded odors, a few treatments may be needed for the product to penetrate deep enough to reach all of the odor-causing molecules and neutralize them completely. The right technique for removing cigarette smell in cars Having the right products is important, but it will only take you so far. You also need to use the right odor-removing technique. Below we explain the best odor-removing techniques and products that are proven to work. Pro Tip When we talk about the intensity of a cigarette odor, this refers to things like: how long the smoke smell has been embedded in the surface, the number of cigarettes smoked in the car each day and the number of smokers in the car. It also includes, of course, the type of cigarettes or cigars smoked. The more intense the odor, the more treatments will be required to completely eliminate the cigarette smell from the car. Removing cigarette smell from car fabrics When treating a vehicle for cigarette smell odors, the first step is to remove the smell that has become embedded in the fabrics, such as the seats, seatbelts and carpets. Here’s how: Required materials: Couple of clean cloths, syringe and needleRecommended product: Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics Why use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics Guaranteed to work (contains a neutralizer specific to smoke odor from cannabis, cigarettes and cigars)Completely eliminates smoke odors in fabrics and other soft surfacesEasy-to-use: no diluting or rinsing requiredAlcohol-based: works on contact and then quickly evaporates to eliminate the risk of fabrics mildewingWon’t stain fabricsAlso great for use on fabrics and upholstered furniture in the homeSafe for people, pets & planetLeaves a pleasant lemon scent in the air for several hours after use Eliminating cigarette smell on seatbelts Simply spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics directly on all parts of the seatbelt smelling of cigarette odor and allow to work. No rinsing or drying required. Eliminating cigarette smell on fabric car seats To eliminate mild cigarette odors on fabric seats: Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on fabric seats.Allow the product to work. No rinsing or drying required. To eliminate strong cigarette odors on fabric seats: Use a syringe and needle to inject Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics into the thick cushion of the seat and backrest. Inject 3 to 5 ml of product at 1-inch intervals to reach all of the cigarette odor. Finish by spraying the entire surface of the seat and backrest with Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics. Allow product to work. No rinsing or drying required. Pro Tip Keep in mind that to eliminate an odor permanently, you have to treat the source of the odor. Cigarette smoke can penetrate deep into the thick cushions of car seats and backrests. A simple spray on the outer fabric is rarely enough to completely remove strong cigarette smells. Only by injecting it can the product come into contact with the entire source of the odor and neutralize it. Eliminating cigarette smell in genuine leather car seats Always proceed with caution when treating genuine leather Before using any product on genuine leather, it’s best to always test a non-visible area to ensure it doesn’t discolor. Never spray products directly onto leather. Instead, apply with a clean cloth and rub gently. Also remember to always remove the product after the indicated time with a clean, barely damp cloth. Keep in mind that leather absorbs odors more deeply than fabric, so several treatments may be needed. To eliminate mild cigarette odors in leather seats: Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on a clean cloth and gently wipe the seats. Allow product to work for 15 minutes.Remove with a clean, damp cloth. To eliminate strong cigarette odors in leather seats: Use a syringe and needle to inject Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics. (To avoid damaging the leather, inject the product at the seams. Do your best to inject the product throughout the inside cushion.)Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on a clean cloth and gently wipe the seats.

Getting rid of cigarette smell from vehicle carpets To eliminate mild cigarette odors: Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on the carpets.Allow to work. No rinsing required. Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics is alcohol based and will evaporate quickly without causing carpets to mildew.

The carpets will come out looking great and smelling clean as a whistle. Fill tank of carpet cleaner with Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces.Clean carpet as instructed on machine.

To eliminate the smell of cigarette odors from all hard surfaces in the vehicle: Mix ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces with 1 gallon (4 L) of water. Apply to surface with a clean cloth and scrub. Allow surface to air dry; no rinsing required. Eliminating cigarette smell in the car’s ventilation system When trying to eliminate the smell of cigarettes in a vehicle, many people will focus on the seats and carpets, but overlook the ventilation system. That’s a shame because the plastic ducts can really absorb the strong smell of cigarettes. Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on the carpets in front of the driver and passenger seats. Turn on the car’s heat or air conditioning and run at for 2-3 minutes. Allow the product to work. No need to rinse. What to do if your car still smells of cigarette smoke after a few treatments Don’t worry. Just be patient and keep at it. It can sometimes take several treatments to get rid of cigarette smells from a vehicle completely – especially if the smell has been around for a long time. Don’t get discouraged.

Eventually you will eliminate 100% of the cigarette smell from your car or truck – for good.

Get Rid of Damp Smell in House
All homes need a certain amount of humidity to be healthy. It’s when the humidity level gets too high for too long that things get smelly. Here are 7 expert tips for eliminating that unwanted damp smell in basements, bathrooms and laundry rooms – as well as on clothes, sofas, carpets and even in ventilation systems! And see which odor removal products are safe for you and your family. Tip 1: Identify the source of the damp smell If you’re noticing a damp smell in your home, the very first thing you should do is try to identify and correct the source of the problem as quickly as possible. Until you do, the damp smell will just keep returning. Be on the lookout for tell-tale signs such as damp walls and floors, condensation in windows, mold in corners or white streaks on concrete. These can all be indications of a moisture problem that needs fixing. While you’re inspecting your home, keep the following in mind: Have you ever had a water infiltration problem?Are there any cracks in the foundation or leaky windows?Is the house standing on mostly loamy soil?Is the plumbing in good condition? Did the sewer ever back up?Is the distance between the gutters and the home to regulation? Once you’ve identified and corrected the source of your humidity problem, you can begin treating the affected surfaces with the right odor removal products. The good news is that you only need two products. Tip 2: Remove stale odors from closets and clothing First, check the closet for mildew and signs of water damage. If you find any signs, you’ll obviously need to address this bigger issue. If you don’t see any traces of mold or water infiltration, clean your closet with Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer – a cleaner and odor neutralizer specifically formulated for musty and damp odors. Check the clothes as well, since they can sometimes turn musty if left untouched in closets for a long time. To neutralize musty smell on clothes, spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics directly on clothes and allow to air dry. No need to rinse. (Don’t be fooled by the name; Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics also does a great job of eliminating musty odors on all fabrics.) Tip 3: Remove damp smell from floors and walls If a room in your house or apartment smells damp, treating the walls and floors can often help. Dilute one part of Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer in five parts of water and wash the floors and walls. Allow to air dry. No need to rinse. Tip 4: Neutralize the damp smell in the ventilation system The ducts in a ventilation system or air exchanger can sometimes develop unpleasant odors that eventually spread throughout the home. Dilute ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer in 1 gallon (4 L) and spray the ventilation or air exchanger filters. Then turn on the ventilation system or the air conditioner for one hour. You can repeat this treatment on a regular basis to keep the inside of your home smelling clean and fresh. Tip 5: Remove the damp smell in carpets If you have a carpet in a room with an odor problem, chances are it has absorbed the smell, too. Mix ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer in 1 gallon (4 L) and add to a carpet cleaner. Clean the carpet with the machine and use fans to dry. (Before cleaning the carpet, we recommend you test a non-visible area first to ensure the product won’t discolor the carpet.) Tip 6: Get rid of damp odor on upholstered furniture If you have upholstered furniture in a damp basement or room, it will probably develop a musty smell, too. Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics directly on the fabric. Press down on the cushions with your hand to help the product penetrate deeply. Let the product work and then air dry. If the musty smell has seeped really deep into the cushions, inject the product with a syringe and needle directly into the cushions. It may sound strange, but it really works! Did you know? Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics is an alcohol-based odor removed. That means it won’t damage fabrics or create mildew in cushions when injected. It works as soon as it comes into contact with the odor-causing molecules, and then quickly evaporates to leave the cushion dry.

Then let the product do its thing. To treat really old, deep-set odors, simply repeat the treatment. No more damp smell! Eliminating the damp smell in your home is just the beginning.

A few tips for general boot care To keep your work shoes in good condition for a long time, it's important to take care of them and maintain them daily. Royer, the manufacturer of safety boots and shoes, shares some important tips on how to keep your work boots and shoes in good condition for a long time to come: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. To maintain the shoe's grip, remove any encrustations of mud or snow, as well as any gravel or metal parts. Brush your shoes to remove stains and dirt, or use a damp cloth to wash them. But forget soap, because leather doesn't like it! Leave your shoes to dry in a warm, dry, well-ventilated room, away from sources of direct heat such as an electric baseboard heater. Avoid leaving them to dry in the sun. If they're made of leather, apply a quality grease or silicone recommended for leather to waterproof them. If they are made of synthetic fabric, clean them by hand with water and mild soap. The same drying instructions apply as for leather. How to remove perspiration odors After a long day's work, you may find that your work boots or shoes smell of perspiration. Forget homemade recipes, deodorizers or enzyme/bacteria-based products. Instead, use an odor neutralizer that will eliminate bad odors on the spot, like Perspiration Odor Neutralizer. Specifically designed to neutralize the smell of perspiration on fabrics, Perspiration Odor Neutralizer can be used in wet or dry footwear. To remove the bad smell, simply spray the product all over the boots or shoes (don't forget to treat all the way through) and leave to dry naturally. It's important to understand that every time you wear your shoes, you sweat inside them. So the source of the perspiration odor keeps coming back. Ideally, we recommend you spray Sweat Odour Neutralizer every evening when you get home from work, but some people only feel the need to treat every 2-3 days. Unlike a deodorant that momentarily masks unpleasant odors, or an enzyme/bacteria-based product that only needs to be applied to damp boots, Perspiration Odor Neutralizer eliminates unpleasant odors as soon as it touches the source, right from the first use. What's more, it won't damage fabrics and leaves shoes smelling fresh. Perspiration Odor Neutralizer also removes sweat odors from sports bags, sports equipment, running shoes and winter boots. Tips for removing damp smell from boots When it rains, water can seep into our boots, giving them a bad smell. To eliminate damp odors, we recommend the use of Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics and Ambient Air. This product is a highly effective odor neutralizer for removing damp or musty odors from fabrics. Simply spray it into boots or shoes that give off an unpleasant odor, and leave it to work. It's important to spray Smoke Odour Neutralizer for Fabrics all the way to the bottom of the shoe, so that the product reaches the entire source of the odour. As soon as it's applied, the product eliminates the odor, rather than masking it as a deodorant would. What's more, because Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics is alcohol-based (the same type of alcohol found in perfumes), it dries very quickly and won't stain fabric.

How to Get Rid of Cat or Dog Pee Smell on Sofa
It’s frustrating whenever a dog or cat pees somewhere they’re not supposed to – like on the sofa. Here’s how you can salvage your sofa and your relationship with your pet. Our top animal expert shares her top tips for eliminating pet urine smells from fabric or leather sofa, quickly, safely and for good. Tip #1 It’s all about the ingredients, not the effort. We get calls from frustrated pet owners all the time, saying they tried every homemade recipe known to humankind, but with little results. Only products containing an odor neutralizer specific to the odor-causing molecule in animal urine can permanently destroy the smell of urine completely. Other products will only work temporarily, or simply mask the urine odor with scent that will eventually dissipate, leaving the pee smell behind. Tip #2 Treat the inside of the cushion. Gravity works on urine, too. To get rid of dog or cat pee smells from a sofa, you need to treat not only the surface of the cushions, but the inside padding as well. You will need to inject the odor neutralizer into the cushions with a needle and syringe. (If you’ve never tried this odor-removing technique before, you’ll be amazed by how easy and effective it is. Just a few squirts and no more pee smell!) Tip #3 Avoid water-based products. Injecting a water-based product such as an enzyme or bacteria-based product into a thick cushion is never a good idea because it can cause the cushion to mold. Instead, use an alcohol-based product that evaporates quickly to avoid the risk of mold or mildew. We recommend using Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. Here’s why: Specifically designed to neutralize the smell of any animal urine permanentlyEasy to use; just spray and walk awayAlcohol-based: works on contact and evaporates quickly; no risk of mildewingWon’t discolor fabricsSafe for people and petsLeaves behind a fresh citrus scent Tip #4 Apply odor neutralizer locally. One of the most common mistakes we hear from pet owners is that they sprayed or injected the product all over the sofa. It’s extremely rare for a couch to be completely covered in urine. When treating with a product like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer, there’s no need to treat the entire couch, only the source of the odor. Eliminating pet urine odor from a fabric sofa – step-by-step instructions Step 1. Use your nose to locate the exact location of the urine odor. Step 2. Make a circle with a string around the affected area. Make the circumference of the circle 4 to 5 inches larger than you think it needs to be to give you more room to maneuver. Sometimes the urine molecules will spread beyond the visible pee stain. Step 3. Inject the product at 1-inch (2.5-cm) intervals. Start at the outer edge of the circle and work your way toward the center. Pro Tip When injecting the product into the cushions, make complete circles as you work your way into the center. That way you won’t have to worry about missing a spot. The odor neutralizer has to reach all of the odor-causing urine molecules to completely destroy all of the urine odor. Step 4. Spray Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer (at a distance of 10 cm) over the entire affected surface area of the couch. Step 5. Air out the room and allow the product to work. No rinsing or drying required. Bonus tip: You can also follow these same steps if your cat or dog pees on your fabric car seats. Pro Tip What to do if Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer leaves a dark ring on fabrics Alcohol-based products like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer can leave a dark ring on some colored fabrics where the dye has not set properly. No need to worry! Simply rub the fabric with a damp cloth and the stain will disappear immediately. Eliminating pet urine odor from a leather sofa – step-by-step instructions Follow the above instructions, but for step 3, inject the product through the seams only to avoid damaging the leather. Do your best to inject the product as deep into the cushion as possible. Bonus tip: You can also follow these steps if your cat or dog pees on your leather car seats. 5 good things to know about removing urine odors from leather sofas Before starting any treatment, make sure the sofa is indeed genuine leather and not synthetic leather. Alcohol-based products may cause imitation leather to discolor.If you’re certain the sofa is leather, always test the product on a non-visible area first to ensure it doesn’t discolor. Never spray products directly on leather. Instead, apply with a clean cloth and rub gently. Then remove the product after the indicated time with a clean, wet cloth.Leather is absorbent. Urine will soak through the leather surface and into the cushion.Leather absorbs odors more deeply than fabric, so several treatments may be needed to completely get rid of the pee smell. Removing cat or dog pee smell from floors Urine can sometimes leak through the sofa (either through the cushion or down the side) and onto the floor below. If you can still detect a pee smell after treating your sofa with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer, move the sofa aside and take a sniff of the floor below. If you can smell urine, simply spray the floor with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. If the floor is made of wood or laminate planks, use a spout bottle to squirt the product between the boards so that it can reach the urine underneath. Because the product is alcohol-based, it will neutralize the odor-causing molecules on contact and then quickly evaporate without causing the boards to swell or warp. Pee happens. Be ready. Rare is the dog or cat that has never had an accident. Get Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer today so that if your pet suddenly decides to do his business on the sofa, you’ll be able to act right away.

Four odor-absorbing surfaces in the home and how to treat them
When faced with an odour problem, the first thing to do is to use your sense of smell to determine where the source of the odour is coming from. Even if the odor is present in the ambient air, its source is somewhere. To effectively neutralize this bad odor, it's important to treat the source with an odor neutralizer.Many surfaces in the home retain odors, and not all of them can be treated in the same way. Here are four surfaces in the home that retain odors and how to treat them to make the smell go away. How to remove odours from ceramic tiles Many people think that ceramic floors don't absorb unpleasant odours. This isn't entirely untrue, since it's not the ceramic tile that will retain odours, but rather the grout. In fact, grout is a porous surface that absorbs liquids (such as animal urine) and retains unpleasant odours. If you wish to eliminate an odor from a ceramic floor, you need to insert the product (in the case of urine, Urine Odor Neutralizer) directly onto the ceramic joint so that the product follows the same path as the urine. In order to apply the right amount of product, we also recommend using a bottle with a spout (see image). This ensures that just enough product is applied. How to remove odor from a wood floor An odor on a wood floor is peculiar to treat, because the odor has not been absorbed by the boards themselves, as they are varnished. Instead, the liquid will seep between the boards and find its way under the floor. That's where the bad odour comes from, so that's where it needs to be treated (the source). As with ceramic flooring, you'll need to insert the Urine Odor Neutralizer (in the case of urine odours) between the planks of the wood floor, using a bottle with a spout. This way, the product will follow the same path as the urine and neutralize the bad smell. Be careful not to use a water-based product, as this can cause the floor to swell. Urine Odor Neutralizer is an alcohol-based product that evaporates quickly, so it won't swell the wood. How to remove odors from concrete Did you know that concrete is an odor-absorbing surface? Like ceramic grout, concrete is a porous material that absorbs liquids and retains unpleasant odors. Treating it against a bad odor is simple: just spray Urine Odor Neutralizer on the surface and let it dry naturally. It's important to understand that the liquid follows the law of gravity, so it sinks deeper into the concrete over time. A second application of the product may therefore be necessary if the odor persists after the first treatment. How to neutralize odors on leather We know that fabric sofas and chairs absorb odors, but the same is true of leather surfaces. Quite often, the liquid will penetrate the leather and seep into the cushion, and that's where you need to go for the treatment to remove the bad smell. Whether it's the smell of cigarettes or urine, the treatment is similar. The product (Urine Odor Neutralizer in the case of urine, and Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics and Ambient Air in the case of cigarettes) is inserted into the cushion using a syringe and needle. Then gently rub the surface with a clean cloth that has been sprayed with the product to be used to treat the leather surface. However, there are a number of reasons why you need to be careful with the treatment. When performing the odor-neutralizing treatment, make sure the surface is genuine leather, not leatherette. As imitation leather contains a lot of dye, the application of an alcohol-based product could cause discoloration. A test should therefore be carried out on a non-visible surface before applying the full treatment. What's more, when inserting the product into the cushion, you can't stick a syringe and needle just anywhere, as this can create small holes. Instead, the product must be inserted through the cushion's seams or in less visible places.
Get Rid of Ammonia Smells in Barns
If your nasal cavities are assaulted by a potent horse urine smell whenever you walk into your barn or stable – or if the smell is so strong it’s causing your horses to cough – then you’ve got a problem. Here’s the solution horse owners swear by for eliminating ammonia smell from stables and farms. It also works miracles in trailers. Best of all, it’s incredibly easy and safe for your horses. Why it’s important to neutralize horse urine smell Some barn cleaners might leave floors gleaming, but if they don’t neutralize the bacteria creating the ammonia smell, that acrid stench will just keep returning. Since keeping a barn clean is lots of work, the smart approach is to use a 2-in-1 cleaner and ammonia odor neutralizer. We always recommend Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer. It neutralizes ammonia odors on concrete on contact. Simply spray and walk away. Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer can also be used to clean a wide variety of surfaces in trailers and barns without damaging the finish. It’s safe to use on wood, linoleum, concrete, and other types of floors. Strong ammonia smells can cause lung inflammation in horses We received a glowing review of Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer from a veterinarian in Quebec, Canada. Eve Biron was treating horses with a cough at one barn with cortisone shots. Here’s what she told us after Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer started being used at the barn: “I noticed a significant improvement in the horses’ health. By destroying the ammonia odor on the concrete floors, Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer reduced lung inflammation in several horses and their coughing disappeared.” She no longer needs to inject these horses with cortisone. How to get rid of the smell of urine in the stable – step-by-step instructions Here’s how you can quickly and easily get the smell of ammonia out of a stable: Dilute ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer in 1 gallon (4 liters) of water.Spray the entire area affected by horse urine (concrete floor). Allow the floor to air dry and repeat treatment if needed. How to remove persistent ammonia smell from concrete floors Concrete is extremely porous. If the ammonia smell has been around for some time, it’s possible the urine has penetrated deep into the concrete. A second treatment with Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer might be needed a few days after the first application. This will allow the product to seep deeper into the concrete and completely neutralize the deep-set bacteria behind the ammonia smell. How to get the smell of urine out of a trailer Like plastic and concrete, metal is also highly odor-absorbent. To get rid of horse urine smell inside a trailer: Dilute ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Horse Urine Odor Neutralizer in 1 gallon (4 liters) of water.Spray all surfaces of the trailer smelling of horse urine. (For best results, we recommend using a pump sprayer similar to those used for flower beds). Allow surfaces to air dry and repeat treatment if needed. Goodbye awful horse urine smell! Getting rid of horse urine smell on your farm is just the beginning. We have odor removers for virtually any odor. Struggling with a particularly smelly situation? Contact us by email, phone or live chat! We can help your world smell good again! Purodora odor neutralizers are available online and at many pet supply stores.

Stinky sofa: the 4 most common odors and how to get rid of them
The living room is probably one of the rooms where we spend the most time in our home. It's the ideal meeting place for family and friends, and the perfect place to relax after a long day. However, it's hard to relax and have a good time in this room when the sofa is giving off unwanted odors. Here are some common couch odors and how to remove them permanently. Removing the smell of animal urine If you have a cat or dog at home, it may have escaped onto your couch once or twice. Before removing the smell of cat or dog urine, it's important to understand that the urine has seeped into the cushion. To eliminate the odour completely, you need to insert the product so that it touches the source of the smell. The product to use to remove animal urine odor is Urine Odor Neutralizer. This is an alcohol-based neutralizer specifically designed to completely eliminate the odor of urine, feces or vomit. If you apply Urine Odor Neutralizer to a colored fiber whose color is not well bonded to the fabric, it may leave a darker ring. Take a damp cloth and rub it in, and the ring will disappear! To neutralize odours on a fabric couch, start by marking out the area affected by the odour with a small string. Then insert 3 to 5 ml of Urine Odour Neutralizer (using a syringe and needle) inside this circle, starting from the outside inwards and leaving a 1” gap between each insertion (see image below). This technique applies the product to the entire surface of the source. Then spray Urine Odour Neutralizer over the surface and leave to work. As this product is alcohol-based, it won't damage your sofa by creating stains or mildew, as would a water-based product. What's more, your sofa will dry very quickly. If your sofa is made of leather, the technique is similar, but instead of injecting the Urine Odour Neutralizer directly onto the leather, we advise you to go through the seams so as not to create holes in the leather. For the last part of the treatment, instead of spraying the Urine Odour Neutralizer directly onto the surface, we recommend that you apply the product to a cloth and rub the surface with it. Then wipe off with a dry cloth. It's also important to test the product on an inconspicuous area to make sure there's no discoloration. Eliminate cigarette odor If you've bought a used sofa, it may have a cigarette smell if the previous owners smoked. To remove cigarette odor permanently, we recommend the use of our Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics and Ambient Air, which is designed to neutralize cigarette odor. For fabric sofas, simply spray Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics and Ambient Air onto the fabric and leave to work. If the tobacco smell is strong, the cushions may have absorbed the odor. As with urine odour, we suggest you insert the Smoke Odour Neutralizer for Fabrics into the cushions with a syringe and needle, and spray the product back onto the top. It's important to push into the cushions with your hands after treatment, so that the product penetrates deep into the couch. To neutralize a tobacco odor on a leather couch, you need to understand that leather is an odor-absorbing material. Spray Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics and Ambient Air on a cloth and rub the surface with it. Then wipe the top of the treated leather with a dry cloth. If the cigarette odor persists, you'll need to use a syringe and needle to inject the product deep into the seams of the sofa. Remove perspiration odor If you have teenagers at home, they may be putting their feet up on the cushion, and as they do so, the place where they put their feet gives off the smell of perspiration. To eliminate the smell of perspiration, without damaging your sofa or creating stains, we recommend you use Perspiration Odour Neutralizer. As with cigarette odors, you need to spray the product on the area where the odor is coming from and leave it to work. If the odor is on a leather couch, simply rub the surface with a cloth previously sprayed with Perspiration Odor Neutralizer and then wipe with a dry cloth. Eliminate dog odors If you have a dog at home and it often lies on the couch, it may give off a doggy smell after a while. The product to use to eliminate this odor is Pet Bedding Odor Neutralizer. This is an odor neutralizer designed to remove dog odor from fabrics. As this is a water-based product, we recommend you always test a small, inconspicuous area before spraying the entire surface. For fabric sofas, simply spray the product directly onto the dog-scented surface and leave to work.If the odor is coming from a leather couch, spray Pet Bedding Odor Neutralizer on a clean cloth and gently rub the area affected by the odor with it. Then wipe off with a clean cloth. Unlike deodorizers, which mask odors, our product eliminates them at source, so they disappear completely. You can use Pet Bedding Odor Neutralizer at any time, even if your couch doesn't give off unwanted odors. Its pleasant juniper and pear scent will refresh your home, creating a harmonious living environment!
