    Is spritzing it a few times really going to help? I can’t imagine there’s a practical way to clean dog urine off cement without a hose and maybe a broom. Maybe just dumping a water bottle on it, but depending on the drainage it might not even go anywhere. So you have the same stank, just delayed.

      We have the same thing in our city (200€ fine), most streets in the central part are brick/stone so the piss runs through the gaps and isn’t so bad. You’re supposed to use a solution of soapy water, or bleach and water, but most it’s just ‘magical water’.

      City cracked down after having to replace metal guard rails that were piss corroded.

      It does help… especially in the summer when the baked piss smell is strong if isn’t used.

        A mixture to deal with it makes a lot more sense! I run into piss (dog and otherwise) pretty frequently when I’m out and about, removing at least the pet portion of that would be a good start for dealing with the reek.

        Bonus: it rarely rains in LA (piss is washed away less frequently), it’s hot most of the year, we have an enormous unhoused population, and limited public bathrooms. Save me 🥲
