Tractor supply has it, sorry forgo to mention that.

Mix it up in a sprayer or in a bucket and brush the concrete. I sprayed my kennels about a month back and it DRAMATICALLY cut down on the urine odor.

We have had a super wet year so that smell has been strong. I tried lime and bleach and no where near the effect of Creolin.

Good luck!!

Dan,
I use the Wysi wash system from Okie dog supply or Lion Country it uses like a chlorine tablet and hooks up to a garden hose I thinks it works great.

Same here, bleach and lime.

I also poor my dip barrel down the concrete and into the drain as well as put some into a sprayer and spay the area. It's a good use of the old dip and keeps the flying critters down.

If u want to have a smell free Concret pens then get u some magnolia floor sealer and seal the Concret. It comes in a 5 gallon bucket and poor out and use a paint roller and roll it in. And what's nice about it is that it's clear so u still have ur natural Concret look. The sealer seals the Concret and does not let the uren get into the poors of the Concret so n bad smell.

I think you can seal concrete if it hasn't already been sealed. I used a product from Chemmasters in Ohio. (They have a very informative website, http://www.chemmasters.net). I clean with Odoban. Dilute the concentrate in a pump up sprayer and apply, then I wash it with water. I used bleach for a long time but chlorine leaves a strong smell of its own. My vet said the proper dilution for bleach is 1:23. Odoban says it kills 99% of bacteria and can be purchased in 2 different scents.

This time of year walmart has the pool shock on sale. 1 bag per 5 gallon bucket kills pretty much everything. Pour it on an let it sit awhile. I stock up now for the next year
