urine in laundry

The best product that I have found to remove urine from laundry is either Tide with Bleach or Purex with Bleach. My cat has been peeing everywhere for years and this is what works the best even if the urine has dried on the laundry or adding a cap full of vinegar to your washing machine. But the liquid laundry soap with bleach does wonders. I have tried other products but nothing works as well in the laundry. And I use bleach or vinegar in my laundry basket as it is plastic. Or because they are cheap I just buy new ones.

Removing Cat Urine

The best thing I found, which is inexpensive is OdoBan. It can be found at Wal-Mart in the Laundry Area and is about $2.60 for a 24oz bottle. Pour somein with your laundry and wash, it takes the smell out. if it is really staturated you may need to do this twice.
