When it comes to products that claim to be the best solution for pet stains and odors, you have to color me a bit skeptical. Because of the tremendous amount of cats that pass through our home on their way to other adoptable families, cat pee and odor is a huge concern. I have tried most of the products on the market, only finding a few that deliver what they claim. Tuff Oxi™ arrived here a few weeks ago. Its job was one of the toughest around. Helping me rid the upstairs room of old- set-in cat pee stains.

 

Under the black light- the carpet upstairs glowed as green as the phosphorescent substances in the oceans. With the recent arrival of four tomcats who shared the space upstairs, the carpet took a real spraying. I was prepared to have to ditch the carpet, the pad and maybe even part of the floorboards in order to save the room. But, I decided to give Tuff Oxi™ a try first.

Using the light for guidance, I marked off each area with masking tape, noting the worst victim to be our computer chair that showed dribbles, pools and lines of dried cat pee. When the lights came back on, the chair got a thorough soaking of Tuff Oxi.™

 

Tuff Oxi™ for pets comes in a granulated form. The directions for mixing it up should be followed to the letter. Don’t add more granules even for the tougher jobs. The product needs to breathe, so when mixing in a spray bottle, don’t cap the spray bottle tightly, or the mixture could over-flow. Mix only what you need for the job, don’t leave any extra mixture in a tightly capped spray bottle.

 

For the tougher stains, use the Strong Dilution instructions. If you use Tuff Oxi™ on dark carpet, spot check it first for color-fastness. The mixture can discolor some surfaces. Tuff Oxi™ is environmentally friendly and safe to use around children and pets. It breaks down tough stains into harmless oxygen, water and sodium carbonate.

 

The upstairs room is now in better shape. Most of the stains are gone, but more importantly, the odor has vanished. I have since used Tuff Oxi™ in my laundry, and on the tile floor near the litter pans where accidents sometimes do occur.

 

Tuff Oxi™ can be purchased off their website www.tuffproductsforpets.com  or by emailing info@tuffproductsforpets.com

It’s definitely a front-runner in the battle of pet stains for this multi-cat household.
