Basically these cats have p****d all over the lower walls and skirting
board of the flat, and it initially smelt so bad that I could hardly
breathe up there.
The walls have a waist-height dado rail and anaglypta below. We've
stripped the anaglypta back to the plaster, and scrubbed the plaster
underneath with sugar-soap, but one patch in particular still reeks
quite badly. I'm assuming the cat pee/spray has somehow soaked in.
Can anyone suggest a method to try and de-odorise the walls? Is there
anything better than sugar-soap to use?
Thanks :)
Have a look in Yellow Pages or Yell.com for Janitorial Supplies in your
local area. Almost all of them stock the 'Prochem' range.
What you want is a product called Prochem Odour Neutraliser, a litre bottle
is about £12 and dilutes enough to do a whole house.
This is what pro carpet cleaners use in old peoples homes....

*biological* washing powder dissolved in water. Allow it to soak in.
Cats go to the same place every time attracted by the smell of
urine/ammonia, so getting rid of the smell discourages repeat offence.

Thanks Dave- will try and pick some up next week.
It depends on your genes if you can smell cat spray or not;
those that can find it a very strong smell, others can't smell
it at all.
OTOH, most people can smell stale urine, but that might not have
come from the cats at all.

hehe... and there was me blaming the cats... :)
Strong UV light will show location of uric acid crystals. Will need
to look closely to see them.
Can be quite hard to wash away and usually needed masking with
fragrance.

So why do they still smell?
I'd like something to repel our local Mog from Spouse's scooter, which it
sprays all the time. Renardine worked for a time but Puss obviously saw it
as a challenge eventually.
I'd kill it if could catch it.

The moggy is claiming the scooter as its property.

Tried a super soaker? Few blasts when ever it comes near and it'll
soon learn to avoid.

That would certainly work. But it comes in the night when I'm in the arms of
Morpheus.
That is, Spouse.

How about one of the automatic "super soakers" then?
The carpet cleaners or the old peoples homes?
Dave
Use a pressure washer.
Also soggy bike ...
Mary
Either.

Can anyone tell me why I can't read Dave Liquorice's posts? I only ever
see them from other's replies.
Over the years, I have had 3 versions of BTs web/news access. First one
was off peak dial up, second was dial up anytime and the one I am using
now; btopenworld broad band.
During all these years, I have never received a post on any news group
that he has posted.
I have no spam blocks in place, no kill file, nor any other selective
software that would deny me his posts.
This is just a very basic xp pro system with AVG. as the virus scanner.
I suspect that Dave is not the only one that I don't detect a post from.
Dave
ps
I used to be quite computer literate, but these days, the mere fact that
I have not plugged in a third mobo cable to an ATX mobo has had me
suspecting that it was dead. :-(
Sigh Am I getting too old whilst aproaching sixty? No, don't answer
that :-(

Probably because the method of propagation of usenet posts between
newsservers is cr*p. This sort of post appears regularly on many
newsgroups.
Change your news server to NIN, News.individual.net. It only costs 10
Euros per year and is as near perfect as you can get because it is properly
run by Berlin Free University.

Sorry I forgot to mention that NIN has rules and sticks to them, so IMO is
a bit prissy. Read the web site carefully.
