Cat Pee Spray on electronics?

I havn't tried it yet but I have been using dryer sheets on a peed on toploader (peed on by cats lol), to no avail. The  problem is that some of the pee got inside the system... I got this bottle of cat pee spray stuff (Urine Away I think it's called) and was wondering if this is safe for electronics?

  • I wouldn't risk it. It was suggest to me at one point to clean a corroded MOBO with lemon juice, and then alcohol to evaporate any left over moisture.

    I have washed PCBs with soap and water before and as long as I immediately rinsed with a high percent IPS, you wouldn't have known if I told you.

    Thanks for the advice
  • Toss it out buy a new one. That smell will never go away.
  • if it got inside, you need to take it apart and wash it. you don't want cat pee sitting on the board as its corrosive
  • What about plain white vinegar? It works pretty well for dog pee and I've used it for corrosion on things as well as cleaning everything around my home. Maybe it would help as long as you quickly dried it after? Not totally sure, but a possible suggestion...
  • I'd probably just go and get a new one if possible, if anything for the fact that the smell never goes away.



    One of my cats trashed my graphics card that way (largest target behind the side vent.) Didn't realize what happened til I opened the case, and P U. Nothing like that smell..

    Pulled it, worked fine. Cleaned the card meticulously and still dead. Probably best to just get a new one sadly. I could never get that smell out of that case. To this day, I still have a neutered gaming PC thanks to that damn cat.



    Also learned that day that female cats can and do spray (caught the little turd at it one more time.)
  • a friend of mine used some sort of electronics cleaner in a spray can to clean pcb's...



    ...i'll see if i can find out what it is.
  • i could get the smell out. i have ways to do so. but its risky for some one that doesnt know what there doing unfortunatly... i would wash it using dawn advanced clean using a tooth brush (the plastic and motherboard separately) after word dry it then use a hair dryer on it and check it very carefully to assure its totally dry. but like i said its risky.
  • You could coat the board in gold contact spray, and then soak the plastics in some soapy Dawn water.



    Dunno if the contact spray will be enough to get the cat piss out of it though. Might be a lost cause at this point, or sell it to Paul to use in his barn if it still works.
  • Everyone and their irrational fear of liquid on their electronics.....Take the entire thing apart, bathe it with, including the motherboard if need be, or saturate the shit out of it with the cat piss spray (enzyme cleaner) and just let it sit for a long time. Rinse it in the sink. Lastly submerge the motherboard in isopropyl alcohol to displace any leftover water. I do it all the time with every system under the sun (the cleaning/water/alcohol part, not cat piss...lol) but still, same principal. Ive never killed a system.  Smell might be gone, might not, but its your best shot.



    Before you do this make sure you flip the power button on and off a few times with it unplugged to flush the caps of any built in electronics. You will be fine.
  • Trash can will fix it up real nice. Other wise just huff and enjoy brotha or still it on Craigslist to a sucker and buy a proper one online.

    This is the stuff I use:





    If you spray it on electronics, it evaporates rather quickly, even better than alcohol does. It's also okay to use on the plastic shell and is safe to use cleaning PCBs.



    I use this stuff over alcohol any day.




  • Cat pee is deadly and will never go away. Burn it.
  • If your not wanting to risk it, Ill buy it off you at a discounted rate. I'll get that thing smelling like sunshine and roses*











    *maybe....

    Classy is an understatement, every morning he powders his nose, goes out for some tennis, then has his chaffuer drive him around in his rolls royce. But hey, good thing is I pay him $200 rent a month and i get to crash on the couch in his study, so he's a nice cat i guess
