Cat-tergent

Cat-tergent is perfect for getting rid of stains and odors right after they happen. The Cat-tergent formula starts working to change the molecular structure of the stains. It lifts fresh pet stains and odors right out, without leaving a ring on your carpet or furniture! It also neutralizes odors forever, so pets won't re-mark the spot. Cat-tergent is especially effective on sensitive wool carpet fibers, and can also be used on cat and dog beds, tile, wood floors - any soiled surface. You can even use it to deodorize garbage bins, kennels, diaper pails, and fish odors in boats! No scrubbing. Just saturate, soak, and blot.

Be sure to test all carpeting for colorfastness before using Cat-tergent.

Whenever cats urinate or defecate, specific scent chemicals are passed with the urine and feces. The smell of these substances triggers an elimination reflex in cats that is not unlike the territorial marking of their wild relatives. Pets naturally return to an area where these scent chemicals are present, thus creating "scent posts" -- places where pets consistently eliminate.

Cleaning up accidents thoroughly is critical to preventing the creation of scent posts in your home. With scent capacities estimated to be a hundred times greater than humans, cats can easily detect urine and fecal odors that have been cleaned with conventional household cleaners, carpet shampoos, and ammonia. The result can be a distressing pattern of repeated accidents in the same spot.

To prevent your cat from making scent posts in your home, treat the area with Drs. Foster & Smith Cat-Tergent, an odor remover that uses natural anti-microbial enzymes to break down and neutralize the odor. These products are formulated to attack the molecular structure of the odor-causing bacteria, as opposed to simply covering up the odor.

There is a right way and a number of wrong ways to clean urine stains on carpets.

The Wrong Way

Using soap and water, household cleaners, or perfumed sprays to try to remove stains or cover up the odors.

The Right Way

For fresh, wet stains blot the area thoroughly with a dry cloth. Try to remove as much of the dampness as possible. Spray or pour on Drs. Foster & Smith Cat-Tergent, a product made specifically for pet stains that contains enzymes. These enzymes actually "eat away" or digest the odor-causing elements, permanently removing them from the deepest fibers in your carpet and the padding below. Billions of beneficial enzymes attack stains and odors immediately and do not stop working until there is nothing left to digest. In addition to eliminating odors, it also contains mild cleansers, which help remove discoloration and restore carpet fibers to their original form, and leave a pleasant scent.

If you have an older, incontinent pet, we suggest you have these products on hand since the quicker you can address the problem, the better the results.

Cat-Tergent is the greatest friend that a cat and a cat lover can have. One of my cats started all of a sudden spraying and leaving presents on the wood floor, carpets, and bathroom. He refused to go in his box. I was going crazy and had tried everything on the market. Cat-Tergent was the only product I hadn't tried. My house was saved. It works for every thing including laundry!

I adopted my four cats about five years ago. Having never been a pet owner prior to that, I was not familiar with a good cleaning product for my feline friend's occasional messes. I received a copy of the Drs. Foster & Smith catalog, and among other items I ordered your Cat-Tergent. Not only was it the best product around for cleaning their mess, it took care of the odor so that they didn't go back to the same spot. I like its pleasant smell as well! I would recommend this product to anyone!

I love Cat-tergent! I have used this on our new area rugs to remove cat accidents. The product does not smell like a chemical spray, so I feel safe using this inside of my home. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product!!!
