Dangit it really works!
I really didn't want this to work so I could get brand new carpet under the manufacturers warranty. The first time I used it I didn't think it worked...I got it off ebay and the sprayer was a joke so I had to get a new bottle. I thought this left grease looking stains on the carpet and I called the Co. Mister Max and they said that's never happen in all the years...

doesn't work
a WASTE OF MONEY. We had a female cat who decided to start peeing to mark her territory. I read several reviews and thought this product would finally help to rid the smell.
We tried the quart bottle with the sprayer and the smell returned in 2-3 days. So, I thought we needed to apply more of the product. We then purchased the gallon of AIP. We treated 2 areas...

Dangit it really works!, March 21, 2008
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
I really didn't want this to work so I could get brand new carpet under the manufacturers warranty. The first time I used it I didn't think it worked...I got it off ebay and the sprayer was a joke so I had to get a new bottle. I thought this left grease looking stains on the carpet and I called the Co. Mister Max and they said that's never happen in all the years they've been making this. So, I got a really good spray bottle and mixed it with a little water. Sprayed it on all the spots and in the morning I had my husband walk in the room (which he is normally bowled over with the cat pee smell and fusses about it) and I asked "well, does it smell?" and he said wow no it doesn't, laid on the floor and said " what did you do?!?!"
I spent so much on feliway diffusers and I think that's a waste of money for my cats and I will have to keep up with the comfort zone spray (that's the only thing that works) and the anti icky poo because it totally takes away the smell! Use a black light when you're doing the treatment.

Miracle Cleaner, October 6, 2008
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
If you have pets, then you HAVE to get this stuff. The name sounds stupid but it works wonders. Cats in particular will continue to pee or mark areas where they have gone before. Even when we cannot smell the urine, they can and they will pee there again. This stuff is an enzymic cleaner, so it completely eliminates the smell. Originally we were using white vinegar (a natural and pet safe way to disinfect and clean.. and a quarter of the price of regular cleaning solutions). However, the vinegar worked only worked so well. Cats have a much stronger sense of smell and would return to pee on the same spot. Now that we have the anti icky poo (and we use Feliway afterwards to prevent future incidents) things have been so much better.
Also, as a side note, I found this stuff works great with my sparring gear as well. When training the gear gets really nasty from all the sweating and I have found that even putting it through the washing machine didn't fully eliminate the smell. Stinky sparring gear is not only nasty to wear, but it's not cool for your training partners either. Well, one day I figured I'd try the anti icky poo on my gear and it worked better than anything else I've tried in the past. They sell all sorts of expensive cleaners specifically for sparring gear and they don't work half as well (I won't name which ones I've tried). It even gets the smell of smoke out of your clothes too. Definitely worth having a bottle in the house at all times.

It works!, March 19, 2008
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
I have two male cats. They don't mark their territory. But there's one that suffers from a weakened poop wall and about once every three months he likes to go upstairs rather than in his litter box. I use the spot bot and then spray it with anti-ick-poo. The smell disappears. It's great. You would never know we had cats. I also use it when they are sick and end up going. You'd be surprised how the smell goes away. I must say I haven't really used it for more than one urinated spot its just on messy poops. I'm lucky in that respect. It does have a slightly strong chemical smell but it fades. Great product.

I was skeptical, but it really does work!, February 15, 2010
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
We have a crazy cat who suddenly decided to start peeing on the couch because we didn't let her out when she wanted to go out one day... Anyways, there was no good way to get out the smell (I could wash the cover, but not the foam inside) so I decided to buy this based on the positive reviews.
It worked wonderfully. I sprayed the cover and let it sit before washing it (I washed it because I figured a double dose of cleaning couldn't hurt!), then soaked the foam in spray. After the spray dried there was no hint of cat pee smell. (The microsuede cover didn't have any discoloring or staining from the spray either.) There was also a fleece sweatshirt on the couch during the pee incident. I washed it once normally (thinking detergent would be enough) but it still reeked; however, after a good spray of Icky-poo the smell was gone.
A note for people sensitive to chemicals: the spray itself does have a strong smell (not a bad smell really, just strong) but the smell goes away after it dries.
Overall, I can't recommend this enough if you have cat pee problems!

This product is fantastic!!!, September 13, 2009
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
A short summary of our problem cat's life....We have the sweetest, friendliest cat ever. He's part of a multi-cat household. His problems, and ours, began when he was 4 yrs. old. He began showing dominance by chasing our 14 yr old cat until she'd hide from him & he also started marking his territory in our home!! If you're wondering, yes, he was neutered. He's lucky, very lucky, that we are so kind-hearted. Instead of doing away with him, he's been banished to our closed-in porch.
Through the years, I tried a couple different enzyme products, but got frustrated with them because I'd have to mix just the right amount of enzyme with just the right amount of warm water, pour on the urine spot, cover with a damp cloth and make sure the urine spot remained wet for a required amount of time. I grew tired of that, and started using white vinegar, but it didn't get all the smell out. Now, 13 years later, I read an article about Anti-Icky-Poo, and decided to go for it. The deciding factor was that it doesn't need to be kept wet. Off and on, in about 6 weeks time, I managed to use a quart of it on some urine spots on our closed in porch. Imagine my surprise when that nasty smell was finally gone from the porch!!! This stuff works! I recently ordered the gallon size & haven't had to use much because I'm also using Farnam Comfort Zone Feliway Electric Diffuser with 48-Milliliters Imitation Cat Pheromone. My vet sold me some Feliway (75mL) Spray several years ago. I used it a few times but stopped because I wasn't comfortable spraying my furniture and walls with it, & you need to spray often. So, that's when Raskal was banished to our closed-in porch.
Using Anti-Icky-Poo and Comfort Zone Feliway Diffuser has almost eliminated our problem...our home is intact and finally our porch doesn't stink. Poor, sweet Raskal is still banished to our porch, which we've made very comfy for him through the years. He even has his own cat house with an incandescent bulb we use to heat it in cold weather. We just can't bring ourselves to trust him in our home any more. Maybe someday I'll be brave, plug in a Feliway diffuser, and give him another chance; after all, I can use Anti-Icky-Poo to clean up his mess. *but I really don't want to be cleaning up that kind of mess in our home*
*After purchasing Anti-Icky-Poo, I found out that if you have a stubborn or old urine spot, that Anti-Icky-Poo will also work if it's kept wet. So just cover it with plastic, wax paper or tinfoil for a while. You'll use less A-I-P & have quicker results. A.I.P. can also be diluted with up to 3 parts water.
Taken from the label: " Engineered to eradicate urine, it will digest any malodorous decay including liquid or dried fluids from vomit, feces, rotten vegetables, fish, milk, ... skunk musk & more, even smoke." "Don't use directly on pets."
A.I.P. has a pleasant smell that I can't quite describe for you. The smell doesn't linger nor does it leave a scent on the sprayed object.

Not just for pet urine, January 23, 2010
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
Recently we've developed a urine problem in this house. (Hopefully that's vague enough that it won't get me into trouble.) Scouring the carpet at 4 in the morning is getting to be a little challenging, and some items of clothing have been exiled to the garage until a solution is found.
Anti-Icky-Poo arrived today. I ordered it because I remembered it had been useful when I took in an abused puppy several years ago. (Accidents happened several times a day until he learned he didn't have to be afraid of me.) I took one pair of pants that had been washed and dried about four times, but the smell remained. All I accomplished with all that laundry was to bake the smell into the fabric. I sprayed the pants with Anti-Icky-Poo--enough to wet the fabric, but not soaking wet--and set them aside for three hours. Then they went into the laundry.
It worked. The smell is gone. The rest of the laundry will get the treatment tonight and get washed tomorrow, and I've diluted some Anti-Icky-Poo with 3 parts water to soak the carpet at the bathroom door.
I don't like the perfume smell, but it fades fairly quickly and it's a whole lot better than stale urine smell. Anti-Icky-Poo works too well to really complain about that. And of course I get funny looks when I tell anyone what product I'm using. Usually that would be bad, but laughter has been kind of scarce around here lately. So for that I'll give a sixth star.
3/15/10 edit: I pulled a beautiful white robe out of the dryer this morning to find it not only smelled of urine, but was stained an ugly yellow. I didn't know it was stained before I washed it. AIP removed both the odor and the yellow stains. It's worked well on the carpet and every towel and item of clothing I've tried it on. Still very happy with this stuff.

Effective for small areas, November 1, 2009
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
We had a huge area where our female cat had urinated on our carpet, an extremely strong odor as it turned out she had a bladder infection. Then she pee-d, of course, in the same area a few times more and in surrounding areas. We found that this product would work in the smaller areas but never really worked on the original area. It does help, if you have a thick carpet, to inject the product into the pad. You can purchase the syringe separately or possibly ask your vet for a needle and large syringe (at least 30cc). The key for using it is as follows (I got this from the tech at the company): 1. Best thing you can do is catch the urine right away, blot with paper towel or rag, don't rub it in. You can wash with soap and water but do NOT use carpet cleaner. 2. If you did not catch it right away and it's been sitting for awhile, probably best to go ahead and inject the carpet, injecting about 6 inches apart into the pad. 3. Next step is spray the whole area moderately, then you are supposed to press into the carpet with your feet. Since I did not want this all over my feet, I put on old socks to press it in, then threw the socks away. 4. Wait two days, then repeat the whole process again. It's important to remember that you may not have the full effect of this product for several days so don't give up. Also, I found that the bad smelling stuff would float to the surface, so blotting it after several hours seemed to help. We also put fans on the area to help dry it, because the other thing to worry about is mildew from all the wetness.
Having said all this, never did get the odor completely out of the original spot. What I added to this whole process after completing the treatment with AIP was to saturate all the areas with hydrogen peroxide, let it soak in for four hours, blotted up with old towels. When it was dry, poured baking soda all over the areas and let sit for a few days, then vacuumed. AFTER ALL THIS: finally, you cannot smell cat pee when you walk in that room. I really think it was a combination of all these steps, but in small areas I think the AIP does work just fine. The tech was very helpful and patient also, if you want to call the company. They will refund your money if you are not happy with the product. Another key point is that it's safe to use around pets and people.

Best product I have found, August 7, 2009
This review is from: Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover (1) Quart with Sprayer (Misc.)
We bought a house and ripped out the carpet to discover that the previous owner's cats had peed so often, it had soaked through the carpet and in to the wood. I was deperate. I tried everything. The MisterMax was the only stuff that worked BUT- a caveat- it works best when used in combination with their urine pre-treat spray, especially on wood. Alone, you don't get the same results.
