clean dog run concrete

12 years ago

I have purchased a town home that has had a dog on the patio concrete for many years - and using it as a bathroom. I have read that before I put tile over - i must get the urine out of the concrete or the tile will not bond and there will be an odor. Please advise.

Anti-Icky-Poo products are the best thing on the market for eliminating pet urine and other organic matter but I have never used it on concrete. I don't know why it wouldn't work but I would call the company and ask before purchasing it. Their number is on their website. Good luck!

I have reviewed their web site. This seems good for carpets, etc. But definitely not for concrete.

You may need to seal it with something like kilz. Concrete holds moisture so some type of sealer should be put on it after you clean it
