Ozium initially eliminates airborne odors by covering with it's own
fragrance and airborne bacteria, plus it remains in the air for hours
so you get to aspirate the chemical... and it does nothing about odors
already absorbed into household effects, like bedding, carpeting,
clothing, furniture, etc, and noting about sanitizing surfaces. It's
simply a longer lasting industrial strength room deoderizer of the type
used in public restrooms. If anyone is offended by fish odors
lingeringi n their home don't cook fish, couldn't be simpler. I don't
cook fish at home, that's what seafood restaurants are for.

Product Description:
Waterbury Ozium® Glycolized Air Sanitizer
Effectively reduces airborne bacteria and eliminates smoke and odors.
Cleanses the air with glycolized action: Lighter-than-air particles are
dispersed into the air where they remain suspended for 3-4 hours,
sanitizing and deodorizing and leaving a fresh fragrance.

Sheldon,

What, if anything, do you use for the cats?
I generally just use incense. I keep them clean but when they take a
dump, ooowhee!!!!!!!
--
Om.

How about when they get [censored] and spray? It's in this room and I can't
find it, dammit. It's definitely in HERE though.

kili

I soak down cat spray with pure white vinegar...
Let it sit for a bit, then scrub it up with a mix of more vinegar and a
bit of lemon scented floor cleaner.

Works great. ;-)

My "sprayers" have been relegated permanently to the insulated sun
porch...... I got tired of washing my curtains every weekend. :-P

I have a lot of cats. All spayed/neutered, but that does not always help.

To find it, pick up a small black light (UV light). Cat spray/pee glows
under that light.

Cheers!

Sheldon,

I think you have a lot more cats, I only have six.

Yes, I do. ;-)

30. But most are getting old. I'll probably lose quite a few over the
next 5 or 6 years. Still sux tho', they are my "kids" and I love every
whisker. Each one even knows their own name.

We have cremeated 6 cats in the past 3 years. <sigh>
As much as I love them, it'll be a relief not to have so many!

Quoted message said:

I have three very large litter boxes, the kind with the top cover, two
per cat,

I have 4 large utility trays. Each holds 30 lbs. of scooable and gets
cleaned daily, and changed out totally once every month. We also use a
lot of litter box deoderant.

Quoted message said:

They're cleaned twice a day and totally changed every other
day. Also the litter boxes are in the basement, just a typical
basement, not a living space. I have a large Sears dehumidifier
running in my basement, the drier the air the less the odors.

I've really not got THAT much of an odor problem, (we really do keep
things clean) but I've considered getting a couple of large air
purifiers, or even a metered sprayer in the main livingroom.

Quoted message said:

Most important is their diet. Don't feed canned food... stinks even
before going through the cat.. My cats get dried cat food, and very
few table scraps.

I can't do that. I tried it and their coats and health went to hell.
I've got too many old cats. Most of these are over 10. I anticipate
having a lot fewer over the next 5 years or so. I have 1 that is 16 and
4 that are 14. I do baby individuals as they get geriatric and give them
extra care and feeding. Jasmine, the oldest, has no teeth and cannot eat
dry food. She gets canned twice per day and is holding her weight really
well. She is pure white with one blue and one gold eye, and is very so
sweet.

Most of these cats are my mom's. I promised her when she was dying that
I'd take care of her "kids" and I have every intention of continuing to
keep that promise. ;-)

Quoted message said:

I occasionally deoderize the entire house by squirting a couple of
puffs of Ultrashield Auto Odor Eliminator into my Central Air intake...
plus my CA has an Aprilaire air cleaner w/ ultraviolet, which runs
24/7/3651/4.

Thanks! I'll check that out!

You are most welcome! :-)
Just be sure it's dark so you can see it.

I understand the problem all TOO well! <lol>
I have a garden pump sprayer I keep full of a mix of white vinegar and
lemon or pine floor cleaner to deal with cat spray on the sun porch...
Makes it easy to spray the wall and floor. The walls are all aluminum
alloy so there is no corrosion.

All but one male lives out there.

Cheers!

Any products? Febreeze?

Vinegar. Mix some vinegar and water in a saucepan, add a cinnamon stick
and a couple of whole cloves, and simmer it for a while.

I thought plates of ammonia in front of the heat vents was the fix.
