Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought a house that had a cat and bred dogs. Walking through it just smelled strong, but we assumed it was due to the presence of the animals. 2 weeks later on move in date we opened the door and were assaulted by pure cat urine and dog odor. I've had cats in the past that hated their litter box and the previous owners cat had to be one of them as well. I loathe the scent of cat pee (who doesn't, right?) and the upstairs bedroom was the worst. There are bushes that smell like it so they have been dubbed the unoriginal name of "cat pee bushes." Regardless, we were shocked. Where did this suddenly come from? Why was it so much stronger? After pulling up the carpet we saw the problem. There were yellow/brown stains in the floorboards. IN the floorboards. It soaked the floors in large spots and dried, forever becoming part of the wood. The walls had dog pee dripping down in corners and behind where they placed their couch. Contractors told us the owners' furniture could have masked the severity, circulating air, windows open, etc. We were angry, disgusted, and sick, to say the least. In the upstairs bedroom was the worst. I couldn't stand for more than 30 seconds before speed walking out for relief. It burned my nose and eyes, and honestly, I've never experienced that before, even with my history of cats who peed on the floor like it was their life's mission. This was bad. We had to rip up hardwood flooring we didn't intend to. We knew the walls would take some work to clean, but at least it was on paint. We called in a restoration company to take a look and they quoted $2300 for the living room. I was told you can't get rid of urine since it was dried in and all the floorboards had to be replaced. We couldn't afford the living area, let alone the upstairs bedroom. I couldn't ignore it though. Once we moved all our things inside, it would be a bigger nightmare to contend with. We decided to take a chance and put kilz on the floor. To our heartbreak, it helped about a third of our problem. It still smelled so strong and I was losing hope. I could now stand for a few minutes longer but it still burned. We were stuck and scared we would have to smell this every day. How could we sell this house down the road? Wait for some idiots like us to come and buy? How could I do that to other people? I scoured the internet and researched. I learned the chemical composition and why certain things did and did not work, different materials the urine could be on, etc. I was overwhelmed. I searched amazon for a cleaning product but the reviews were 50 50 at best. Then Amazon showed a suggestion for Angry Orange and I read so many reviews. I looked for similar situations to gauge its success and decided to bite the bullet even when I couldn't find a comparable scenario. I didn't have high expectations, so my anxiety continued until I sprayed that miracle liquid gold. I tried it in one area downstairs to see if it worked and 15 minutes later the contractors moved to the same area because it was the only spot that wasn't assaulting your nose with urine. I went angry orange nuts and sprayed it every where. Read the directions and KNOW it is strong. I had to open the windows. I wanted my nose to burn from orange, not pee. Even in the spots where it didn't smell. I was like snow white, spinning, circling the house, spraying willy nilly. Music played in my head and a smile was on my face. Through the next couple weeks I would smell it in areas I hadn't noticed before. I was terrified it was coming back, but sprayed more and realized it was spots I had missed. Fast forward 4!! years later. No smell. It is gone. PERMANENTLY. I've had friends and family visit over this span of time. I've only told a select few of our circumstances, (who really wants to admit they own a house with urine stains in the floor boards) and they were genuinely surprised, saying it didn't smell at all. Family are usually brutally honest, especially my mom, and she didn't know our predicament. She has a sensitive nose of course, and is none the wiser after several visits. Thank you angry orange. You are a true angel and I will never be able to thank your creators enough. May they be as blessed as I was in this situation. Buy it. Period. Now 4 years later I STILL have about 3 ounces left from the original bottle. I keep a mixture handy after my puppy had a few accidents. Still no issues. This is one time where it is NOT too good to be true. Thank God for these few miracles.
