Urine Gone is a cleaning product that states that it is one of the most effective urine removal agents on the market. Not only does it claim to eliminate the smell associated with urine stains, but it also claims to remove the discoloration from the urine stain. While there are many pet odor removers, and pet stain removers on the market, I do agree that Urine Gone is one of the most effective urine smell and stain removers available.

Pros of Urine Gone

Urine Gone is effective at removing the urine smell left from pet accidents and people accidents. I used this product at my grandparents’ home where incontinence accidents were frequent. Not only did this product remove the urine stain spot and smell, it left behind a very subtle and pleasant fragrance, unlike some of the other urine removal products that had more of a chemical smell to them.

Another advantage of this product is that it is easy to use. You simple pat dry the urine spot, spray apply the product, and let it dry. There is no scrubbing required. However, if it is an older stain a little elbow grease may be needed to thoroughly saturate the stain and lift up dried particles.

In addition to its great cleaning abilities, Urine Gone also provides you with enough product to clean a large area several times over. The bottle is substantial and provides you with a lot of cleaning power. One bottle used daily for several small accidents lasted me three months. Of course the size of the stain, or area that needs to be cleaned, as well as how much of the product that you use at each cleaning will determine how long your bottle of Urine Gone will last.

The final “pro” of Urine Gone is that it often comes with a black light that you can use to detect old urine stains that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This is a great tool to have if you are moving into a new apartment and want to know where to clean, or if you have a baby and pets and want to make sure that the area where the baby plays is urine free.

Hmm, I don't know why some people aren't getting results with UrineGone.. it works for me! I've used it on yellow spots from a dog and they disappear! The blacklight shows some stains that I don't know what they are sometimes (sometimes it's obviously pee), but it works on them too. I DO know that if some stains are barely wet then that won't do the trick... you really have to just soak things real good and then let them dry. Other urine products might actually work better but I have no experience with them and just wanted to say that in my experience UrineGone does work.

this stuff is great. i'm on my second bottle. i'm using it on my carpet for my puppy's accidents. i will say that it takes a few times to get the actual stain out, but the smell is gone once it has dried. if your're looking more for stain removal, try oxy magic by clorox. as for the individual who couldn't figure out the light, look inside for the pos/neg directions-that's where i found it, but hard to see.

Tried Urine-Gone and it was a waste of money. Bought Urine-Off (similiar name but appears to be a real company with a real website) at the suggestion of my vet and it worked great! DOn't waste your money on Urine-Gone.

The product works well, but the blacklight doesn't work on detecting cat pee, it just made me feel like dancing at a disco.

I just bought it and can't figure out how the batteries go in the flimsy little "black light"--you have to cram them in with no directions on positive/negative connections and they go in so tightly you can't get them out!

It kind of worked for me, I had an old cat pee stain on a mattress. I really got it to eliminate the visible stain, which it didn't really do. I used the product a couple of times and rubbed as hard as I could and let it dry. It didn't seem to do much. Then I used Hydrogen Peroxide on the stain and applied a little bit of baking soda when it was almost dry and the stain faded a little bit. Then I used Urine-gone two more times until the bottle ran out, and the stain continued to fade. It's barely noticeable now. But I imagine that it works much much better on fresher stains. All in all I think Hydrogen Peroxide and baking soda probably the best bet.

This stuff is worthless. I used it on cat pee and it made the smell worse, a lot worse. It must be made of cat pee.

I used the little black light to find some old pet stains, sprayed the product, let dry,as per instructions. No effect, it still showed up in the black light the next day. I also tried this product on a mattress, old stains so I scrubbed and applied 4 times (letting dry completely each time) - NO EFFECT. The stains were unaffected by the product. I am sadly disappointed
