Over the years our polite and friendly operators have answered numerous calls on our nationwide toll free telephone number. They would answer “ProKlean™ 911 what’s your emergency?” only to have a frantic and desperate customer respond “Help me! My husband has threatened to throw me and the cat out if I can’t clean his brand new leather chair.”

During the years we have heard many interesting stories. Broken hearted little children where daddy had threatened to throw out the cat. And marriages that were literally on the verge of divorce because the cat had urinated all over his favorite leather chair.

There are several factors that may interfere with the performance of cleaning products. These issues are age, volume of cat or dog urine and previous cleaning history.

The age of the cat urine is a significant factor. Cat urine that is fresh is always easier to remove than cat urine that is over eighteen months old. This is because the longer the cat urine is allowed to sit uncleaned the farther down gravity will pull it into the concrete, mattress, hardwood floors, leather furniture, padding, subfloors, upholstery, wall to wall carpet and wood floors.

Allowing cat urine to pool on the surface of leather furniture around the buttons, nail heads or any other depressions for any length of time is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. The cat urine is likely to remove the leather’s dyes and discolor the leather. If your cats are prone to gun fights in the middle of the night you had better heed this warning.

This concept is also true for mattresses and upholstery. The longer you allow the cat urine to set on your upholstered furniture the farther down gravity will pull it into the padding making it mush harder to remove.

Cat urine that has only soaked in one inch is much easier to remove than cat urine that has been allowed to soak in six inches.

The volume of cat urine can be the deal breaker. Clearly one ounce of cat urine is easier to remove then 64 ounces.

Your cleaning history is the most significant factor especially for customers that like to experiment with various cleaning products and home remedies on the same spots and stains.

We have seen some ads including an incredible formula for the world’s greatest cat urine remover. A sure fire top rated magical baking soda and vinegar recipe that the webmaster swore would solve all of your cat urine problems.
