Homemade Urine-Be-Gone?

I sure could use a homemade urine-be-gone. I have got to say how very pleased I am that this site is on the computer, I go here all the time and find the answers I am looking for.

I posted a few times a recipe on this site. My hard drive crashed and I no longer have it handy, but I am sure you can search the site. It kills odor completely and all you need is some simple around-the-house products. One of them is Joy dishwashing liquid and the other is hydrogen peroxide. A blacklight is helpful to locate all the places you need to saturate.

Good luck

don't know how urine-be-gone works but i have a homemade solution for urine. lemon koolaid. dilute a pkg of lemon koolaid as directed without the sugar. put it in a spray bottle and (after checking for colorfastness, citric acid can be strong stuff for some materials) spray the area and blot with a rag.

repeat as needed. i used this on my kids mattresses when they were little. vinegar will work too but the koolaid smells better. urine is alkaline. anything acid should do the trick. try borateem and water if you want an odor free solution.

This does a great job on stains and smell.
3 or 4 drops dawn dish liqid, 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide 1/2 cup white vinegar. soak up the spot with an old towel, apply solution, just enough to cover the spot, let sit 10-15 minutes then soak that up.

Either straight white vinegar or washing ammonia will do the trick. Ammonia seems to deter cats and dogs.

I heard ammonia can make the cat urine smell worse because there is ammonia in their Unine

Irish posted that she'd had a recipe for urine be gone but lost it. Here it is I'm pretty sure :
Mix 1 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of Dawn dish liquid and 16 oz of hydrogen peroxide.

Pour it on the urine, let air dry. Do not blot. This really works!

Doesnt the peroxide bleach the carpet. I have a dark blue carpet in my home, and am a bit concerned that I will end up with light spots on my carpet.

Editor's Note: It's possible the peroxide will lighten or bleach a dark blue carpet. You could try it in an out of the way place or on a scrap to check before using. This is idea for any cleaning method on any fabric or carpet.

I have tried every DIY homemade solution and none worked. I resorted to Arm and Hammer Oxy for pet urine and it works as it is an enzyme that changes the chemistry of the urine.

Absolutely no urine smell is left behind.

The mixture I use is vinegar and water, peroxide and Dawn dishsoap. Equal parts vinegar and water.Capful of Dawn dishsoap and 3 capfuls of peroxide. I have 3 boy cats that are soon to be neutered.One has marking habit...the other two are cacthing on! This formula has worked for me in every cat pee capacity. The mixture should be sprayed on and left about 10 minutes.Patted up.I can also tell you peroxide will lighten most materials. So it depends the time left on.Also cats dont care for citrus..adding a drop of orange oil not only masks the vinegar it can be the encouragement they need to head to closest litter box.

In response to mygaley, never use ammonia. Urine in loaded with ammonia and if you use a cleaner with ammonia in it the animals tend to go again in the spot again to cover it up. It just becomes a never ending cycle.
