Understanding the Source of the Odor
One of the main reasons for the smell is the presence of urine around the base or sides of the Porch Potty. Dogs may occasionally leak or accidentally spray urine off the potty, and if not cleaned up promptly, it can create a strong odor. Additionally, if you are not rinsing the potty at least once a day, the grass may accumulate bacteria and odors over time.
Regular Rinsing is Key
To maintain a fresh and odor-free Porch Potty, we highly recommend rinsing it at least once a day. This practice helps to flush out any accumulated urine and keeps the grass clean. By rinsing the potty regularly, you can prevent the buildup of odor-causing bacteria and ensure a more pleasant experience for both you and your furry friend.
Additional Cleaning Solutions
In addition to regular rinsing, you can use a vinegar solution or a diluted bleach mixture to further eliminate urine odor from your Porch Potty. Here's how you can prepare these solutions:
- Vinegar Solution: Mix vinegar with water in a spray bottle, using a ratio of one part vinegar to three parts water. Spray the solution onto the grass and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water.
- Bleach Mixture: Create a diluted bleach solution by adding 1-2 capfuls of bleach to a gallon of water. Apply the mixture to the grass, allowing it to sit for a short time, and then rinse the potty thoroughly with water.
Please note that when using bleach, it's crucial to follow the recommended dilution ratio and thoroughly rinse the potty afterward to ensure the safety of your pet.
