How large is your cage? How deep do you bed with the carefresh? I use the "ultra" (white) carefresh which is supposed to reduce odors better than the gray regular carefresh. I have found the more carefresh I put in the less the odor. I thought I was wasting bedding by putting in 3 - 4" but found when I reduced the amount of bedding I could smell the urine more quickly. Another tip is to daily wipe off the shelves and surfaces where you see urine puddled. That helps a great deal. I use either white vinegar and then wipe with a fresh wet paper towel or an all natural cleaner darned if I can think of the name of it but it's citrus scented.
