BTW, take the cat to the vet to check for a urinary tract infection or
other veterinary problem. People are quick to attribute "spite" or other
motivations to animals who are peeing where they shouldn't because they
have cystitis.

I used to use Nature's Miracle until discovering OxiClean.

OxiClean is not only *far* more effective, but also costs a small fraction
of what Nature's Miracle costs.

Current medical information recommends AGAINST using hydrogen peroxide on
wounds and abrasions, as it has been found to damage (previously) healthy
tissue, exacerbating the injury.

Check the ingredients in OxiClean and then the ingredients in the cheapest
bleach for colors.
Then decide which one to buy.

So, peroxide has gone the way of chlorine bleach! Called Dakins
solution, chlorine bleach was used to disinfect wounds for centuries; it
was common in WWI and I think dentists used it as recently as fifty
years ago.

I suppose one reason peroxide became popular is that it foams when it
hits certain proteins in wounds. Foaming isn't the same as
disinfecting, but it would help wash out debris.

Oxiclean is sodium percarbonate, which is sodium carbonate, water, and
hydrogen peroxide. There are cheaper brands of sodium percarbonate that
contain more hydrogen peroxide.

Instead of sodium percarbonate, some reputable brands of oxygen bleach
use sodium perborate with additives. They have probably decided that
this will give the customer more reliable results.
