Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover Review

We run an animal rescue from our home and take in cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies.  Some of the cats refuse to use a litter box and most of the dogs/pups aren't housetrained.  We've had our fair share of accidents and on-purpose accidents over the years.  One of my own cats does his best to make me crazy by joining in with them and peeing all over the house.  You see, he hates other animals and expresses his displeasure by finding creative places to urinate like the comforter on my bed, on my work bag, and under the bird cages.  You'd think that my house must smell like a crazy old cat lady lived there: eau de cat urine.  I'm very obsessive about the issue, though, and do everything I can to make sure that my home doesn't smell like cat.  What's my secret?  Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover.

This product is a clear liquid that contains enzymes to break down urine, feces, blood, vomit, grease, grass, etc.  It isn't something that will cover up an unpleasant odor--it actually will destroy the source of the smell.  I use it around the house when my horrible cat decides to do his business somewhere that he shouldn't.  I've used it on couch cushions, mattresses, rugs, hardwood floors, vinyl floors, and even walls with excellent results.  I use a spray bottle to dispense a light mist onto the hardwood/vinyl floors and I just pour straight from the bottle for rugs, couches, mattresses, etc.  Once the surface is completely dry, the unpleasant odor is gone! 

I also use Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover in crates and on the kitchen floor when puppies have accidents.  Regular cleaning products cannot completely remove the scent so they will still smell urine or poop even when we can't.  When they smell it, they want to do their business in the same spot and the whole thing is counterproductive to housetraining.  Whenever a pup "goes" on the floor or in their crate, I clean the space thoroughly and then spray it down with Nature's Miracle.  I find that they don't return to the same spots to do their business after I've cleaned it with this product.

Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover contains water, "nature's enzymes", isopropyl alcohol, and natural citrus scent.  To me it smells just like isopropyl alcohol, ie. rubbing alcohol.  The scent is very strong and can irritate my asthma from time to time.  I'd suggest opening the windows in the room that you use it.

The only complaint that I have about this product is the price.  A one gallon jug costs about $20 and we can go through that within a week sometimes.  Still, it is the most effective thing that we've found for disgusting cat urine odors and puppy accidents.  Since Nature's Miracle has a monopoly on odor elimination, I plan to keep paying top dollar for this product.  It's worth it.
