It's interesting, but after we had this "conversation" about OdoBan last week, I found a bottle of X-O in my vast arsenal of odor-removing/neutralizing products, and used it on a very stubborn peed on area - it worked immediately. I don't know why the X-O was stuck in the back - I truly believe it's the best one I've used so far. It comes in concentrated form. There's a also a super concentrated cleaner made by X-O - I am going back to it. I found a very inexpensive source online, if anyone would like to try it. Natalie
