Product Guides
Most pet urine cleaning products offered to the retail customer today are largely ineffective. They are weaker than what professionals use, and are often manufactured with yesterday's technologies. Our goal at RemoveUrine.com is to offer you the same top-of-the line professional grade products used by cleaning companies.
The chemicals being developed and used in professional cleaning are improving all the time. This includes the chemicals and products used in pet urine stain and odor removal and clean up. Many new green products are becoming available as cleaning evolves.
There are 5 basic types of chemicals used to eliminate dog urine odors. They are:
- Enzyme
- Oxidation
- Encapsulation
- a fairly new one called Neutralization
- Masking Agent
There are quality chemicals available in each of these categories that if used correctly will do an excellent job. There are many more chemicals on the market in each category that are just not very good. The good quality chemicals work well when used correctly. We offer the highest quality chemicals used for pet urine stains and odors, the same products used by cleaning and industry professionals.
We want to point out three keys that will make the difference as to whether a product does or does not work for you.
- First: Use one of the types of chemicals that are effective at doing the job. There are many products being sold that are not even designed to remove the smell of urine. For example, masking agents.
- Second: Get a quality chemical. There are many chemicals designed to do the job but are of inferior quality. We all know about these.
- Third: Use the chemical properly. This can be the biggest problem. For the job of urine odor removal you need to use the chemical as it was designed to be used or you will at best only get partial urine odor removal. These chemicals must come in contact with the urine to be able to work on it. Some of them need a minimum amount of time in contact with the urine residue to work. They must be kept moist during that time. Some have temperature requirements to get results from them. These factors can vary some and you can still get partial results. But you need to keep these factors within the tolerances of the chemical you are using to get the complete results you want.
Basic Types of Urine Odor Removing Chemicals
• 'Enzyme'Enzymes have been used successfully for many years in the stain and odor removal industry. They have proven effective to remove the greasy build-up that occurs in the drains of restaurants. Bio/enzymes are the primary organism used to break down sewage in treatment plants, returning the water to a clean, non-hazardous condition. Some laundry detergents contain enzymes. Enzymes were first used in the carpet cleaning industry as spotters for breaking down organic and protein based stains. Enzymes are produced by bacteria. The bacteria are unable to absorb and digest food internally. So, they use enzymes to breakdown or pre-digest this waste matter outside the cell. To accomplish this the bacteria produce the enzymes which act as catalysts to speed the decomposition. The enzymes convert the contamination into simpler substances that can be absorbed by the cell. The bacteria are packaged for use in a dormant form, that is activated in the presence of moisture and an organic food source. Once activated, they grow and multiply until the food source is consumed. Under ideal conditions, the number of bacteria will double every 20 minutes. Each cell could add over 16,000,000 additional waste and odor digesting bacteria in eight hours. But when the food source is completely gone, the bacteria die and enzyme production stops. The enzymes literally consume the odor causing cells until they are gone. |

• 'Oxidation'Many people ask if an oxidizing agent really works on dog urine. The answer is yes. Oxidation happens to be one of the fastest methods of treatment. It is also excellent because it deals with all three aspects of urine deposits – odor, stain and contamination. The oxidation process releases large amounts of oxygen causing the urine to break down to more basic components like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other components. This process decontaminates the urine residue. In addition, it removes the stain and neutralizes the odor. These basic components that are left either leave as gases, or are easily extracted and removed. |

• 'Neutralization'Neutralization is newer technology. It is an amazing new odor counteractant. It does not fit into the traditional categories of odor control agents. Its specially designed molecular structure has an expanse of surface area that absorbs, binds to and counteracts odors. It is very effective on dog urine. Neutralization works immediately on contact with odors to make your cleaning job more pleasant. Neutralization contains no bleaches, no bacteria, no enzymes, no oxidizers nor chemical de-sensitizers. It is safe to use even when children or pets are in the home. Neutralization chemicals can be used on carpet, upholstery, mattresses and a variety of hard surfaces. |

• 'Encapsulation'Encapsulation chemicals envelop and completely seal off the urine odor. They then dry to a crystalline form making the urine molecules odorless. |
|
• 'Masking Agents'Masking agents are not odor removers. They add a scent to the air that covers the urine odor. When it wears off, the odor returns. Because they are temporary and ineffective we don't offer masking agents. |

Stain Removing Chemicals
|
While our Odor Removing Chemicals (above) are all excellent at treating urine stains as well, we know that sometimes a particularly stubborn urine stain can be hard to remove. We have found the best stain remover on the market that can be used very effectively in conjunction with any odor remover. |
