Human pee - how to get it off?

Factual Questions
1

I’m used to cat pee. Had many foster/stray cats; lots of territorial marking, lots of stress peeing. Cat pee is really concentrated and if you don’t get it out, then either the same cat or another one will pee there again - so you soak the snot out of it with regular water to dilute it, you soak the snot out of it in enzyme cleaner to eat as many of the pee proteins as possible, you soak the snot out of it with regular water again, and then you wash it eleventy billion times with oxyclean and you’re mostly ok again.

Human pee - not a clue.

I have many questions. It’s a lot more volume than a cat, so I’d really like to not have to go through the above steps with this, as it would take me roughly a week, and over a hundred dollars worth of enzyme cleaner to get through all of the materials affected

  1. soaking in enzyme cleaner necessary for human pee? or can I just wash it a lot?

  2. anyone with experience with whether human pee sets off cats like cat pee does?

  3. is bleach necessary since it’s person pee, or is oxyclean sufficient?

Back in the day when we used cloth diapers, much human pee was disposed of in an ordinary washing machine.

I used hot water, actual Ivory soap flakes, and bleach. When possible they were dried outdoors on a clothesline.

Human pee isn’t nearly as noxious as cat pee. Oxy should be sufficient along with a good washing in regular detergent if it fits in a washing machine.

Human pee isn’t that hard to eliminate if you can get at its. Usually just rinse in water is sufficient.

The problem arises when it works it way through the bathroom tiles and stays damp between the tiles and the floorboards. Or when it gets through and underneath wall to wall carpeting.

If you can get at it, no problem. But it’s not always where you can get at it.

I don’t know if you can learn to get it off on that kind of thing. It’s kind of either you like it or you don’t.

Who peed in the wardrobe while drunk?

Human urine doesn’t have the purposeful (by evolutionary intents) strong-scent markers that other mammals have because we haven’t evolved to rely on smelling urine markers for territorial distinction or mating or anything.

So, there’s nothing difficult about human urine to clean up after. In fact, the urea in the urine breaks down into ammonia, so, urine is its own cleanser!

Because my life sucks I have become an expert on human pee. Get to it quickly and wash using nappy stuff (just to be sure). I use stuff called Hutch cleaner for everything else (even worked on a mattress)
