Anti Icky Poo Unscented

As someone with a major cat urine problem and have gone through gallons of this stuff, I thought it’d be helpful to leave a realistic review and share my story. I recently moved to a different apartment and the previous tenants had a cat. There was tons of cat hair around the apartment and wasn’t very clean overall, but I figured “no big deal, I’ll just clean it up and it’ll be like new” (spoiler: wasn’t the case at all). Another thing to mention is the carpet was replaced in the whole unit, except ONE room. I didn’t think much of it at the time because that’s a pretty normal thing in between tenants, but more on that later. Now, I’m not sure what sort of magic the landlord did while I was touring the apartment, as there was no smell of cat urine - at all. Didn’t even cross my mind. I move in a little bit later and everything is fine. Fast forward a few days and I notice a smell in the one bedroom where the carpet WASN’T replaced. I noticed my own cat was acting a little strange and sure enough I discovered he peed on the floor. Very foolish me at the time thought this was it, and having no knowledge on cat pee, I grabbed my carpet shampooer and shampooed the section of carpet where he peed. While I was at it, I figured, “Why not just shampoo this whole room?” Sure enough, that made it worse. This is when I went full detective mode on my hands and knees smelling every inch of the carpet while my cat is staring at me wondering wtf I’m doing. I quickly realized the smell extended far beyond where my own cat had peed. I ran to the internet and began researching the topic of Cat Urine as if I was writing a thesis on it. This is when I learned that when cat urine is rewetted, it reactivates uric acid to recrystallize and suddenly made sense as to why this entire room now reeks of cat urine - I just wetted the entire carpet with the shampooer. Two corners of this room in particular smelled extra terrible, and at this point there was no way my cat did of all of this on his own. I resorted to pulling up about a foot of the carpet and was instantly hit with the most rancid, stale, rotten cat urine smell. The entire carpet pad was stained, the entire subfloor was stained, it seriously was AWFUL. At this point, I connected the dots: the previous tenants had a SERIOUS cat pee problem, hence why the carpet was replaced. I went around the unit and smelled nearly every corner in the unit and another 3 corners smelled just as bad on the wall and baseboards in the rooms where the carpet WAS replaced. No idea why the last bedroom didn't get it's carpet replaced too, but it was obvious at this point there was a major problem, and if I owned the place, I’d be ripping out the carpet in the last bedroom. However, that isn’t an option, so I resorted to finding a solution that would work for now. The biggest takeaway is you need one very key ingredient to get rid of the problem: Enzymes There’s tons of enzyme cleaners. I started with Rocco & Roxie and the fragrance nearly took me out. Probably would have worked if I used enough, but only used 32 oz of it - not nearly enough and didn’t want to buy more because of the intense fragrance. I tried Skout’s Honor because of good reviews and realized once I got home it’s not even an enzyme cleaner. Sure enough, didn’t work. This leads me to Anti Icky Poo, and thankfully I think this will be my last product. (And HUGE bonus is that it comes in an unscented version - definitely recommend that version) One really important thing to point out is you need to follow the instructions, especially for major urine problems. It says right on the bottle you’ll need at least a quart for 1 corner and multiple applications may be necessary. Acknowledge this step! For me, this equated to needing literally GALLONS of this. The key to this product is absolutely dousing the affected area and letting it stay soaked. In my case, I poured about a gallon on one corner, let it sit for a whole day with trash bags on top to preventing it from evaporating, and after drying it was probably 95% better! Realistically, I’m sure there will always be some odor in this case due to the subfloor being stained with the urine. It’s not a miracle product that will suddenly replace your subfloors soaked with years of cat pee - it just does what it says. This was clearly a problem that is too long gone at this point and likely needs complete replacement of subflooring. But, like I said, this isn’t an option, so I believe this product dealt with my issue in the best way given the circumstances. Maybe at some point I'll buy some more, pull up the carpet, and try soaking the subflooring, but thankfully, the room no longer smells like cat urine, and the only way you even get any hint of a smell is if you stick your nose directly in the corner. Overall, this product is really great. It does exactly what it says it’s going to. It didn’t rip out my subflooring and replace it, but it doesn’t claim to. There’s obviously physical limitations to a liquid product. But for most issues, this will do what it claims to do. Just don’t spritz your carpet with a decade of cat pee embedded into it and expect it to work, you really have to use it very liberally.

Amazing stuff. Was putting off cleaning the curtains (cotton and cotton blend) my male cat has urinated on because I had basically given up on them ever becoming fully odor free. Got this bottle of Mister Max and put them all in the wash and added about 1/2 cup of this straight from the bottle, added detergent did a heavy duty wash and no more cat urine smell. The scent itself is mild and pleasant. This product works very well and could not be more pleased.

I have been searching for a good product that actually gets rid of the smell of cat urine rather than masking it, and my search is over. I actually discovered this product using an AI search. This stuff works! And yes it works on old urine odors and hot pet pee spots on old carpet! When you have five cats, especially ones who find other places to pee other than a litter box things can get rather aromatic in a negative way. This stuff gets rid of the smell! My house no longer smells like aged ripe cat pee. It is easy to use and it leaves behind a refreshing minty scent that soon fades into nothing. No smell at all, not from the cleaner or the urine. I will remain a loyal customer.

This is our go-to pet cleaner. It’s great at getting rid of odors, which is very necessary when you have a pup who sneak-pees in the house. Especially if you spray the offended item and let it soak for a while before washing. I also use it as a presoak for carpet accidents. It’s not so great for stains that have had some time to age. But I love that the fragrance isn’t overpowering and overall, it gets the main job done.

Anti-Icky-Poo is great, I have a local pooper scooper buisness in az and this is some of the best stuff I used to rid the smell of backyards! I'd categorize the product as extra strength for eliminating odors but still pet friendly! After picking up the dog doo doo, I spray this in and around where the poo or pee was! Clients tend to say that there was a stronger smell the 1st and 2nd day, but after that the smell of any remaining matter will dissipate making there backyard smell like there was never a dog back there! I would recommend every two weeks. Better not to dillute especially with multiple animals but I tend to dilute it a little bit in order to get proper coverage accross the Yard. I think the price is actually very fair, even though its mor expensive than other sprays out there! This stuff actually does eliminate odors for about two weeks which is a lot longer than some of the other brands I've used! Just remember that eliminating the source of the smell with this product will also reduce flies.

We moved into a new house and my cat literally peed everywhere. It was a nightmare and smelled awful. For removing the smell, this item is a lifesaver. It works!!!! I truly hope it helps prevent him from trying to mark again

One of our cats unfortunately passed away. Prior to passing away he had problems urinating so he always just wanted to go in our basement. This completely eliminated the urine smell. I was worried how it would do on our concrete. It worked like a charm. It did initially leave a ring but was easily cleaned up. Definitely keeping this in the arsenal.

I think it does it’s job, but in some cases it leaves a different smell thats not bad but doesn't smell clean.. unsure but Will continue to use it.
