Sprinkle it around and its a natural way to break things down faster. <BR/><BR/>A better thing than spraying bleach is to sprinkle baking soda. Use a flour sifter. Let it sit for five then vacuum. For bad odors fill a bowl with vinegar (distilled white) and place in a corner out of the way overnight.<BR/><BR/>I hear you on the bleach thing. I use diluted Simple Green with bleach for cleaning at home.FishTaxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15775413038317279926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710261.post-1140414452632115792006-02-19T20:47:00.000-09:002006-02-19T20:47:00.000-09:00I don't think that smell is totally due to animal ...I don't think that smell is totally due to animal waste, I just don't think it helps out there. Most of the elementry schools out here are fenced in and don't get to many strays and they still get the smell somethin fierce. <BR/><BR/>As for the bleach thing, its obviously not fool-proof but better then nothing. Our carpet was new when we moved in so everything thats fallen through the cracks has been disinfected. The old places always got steam cleaned when we moved in, then bleached from there on out. It puts my mind at ease when I lay on the carpet and it really makse much more of a difference on smell then just vacuuming. <BR/><BR/>Odd about the cancer thing though.MrsMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325593714803119017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710261.post-1140372174478211782006-02-19T09:02:00.000-09:002006-02-19T09:02:00.000-09:00I discovered frozen doggy poo cleans up so easy an...I discovered frozen doggy poo cleans up so easy and does not smell...last spring..oh my my yard was a sewer pit...this year... I cleaned it up at least three times this winter...the last a month or so ago...thanks for the reminder...think I will scoop poo tonight when it freezes again. As for the bleach trick...this action does not really do alot for the carpet...i spray my walls and door knobs almost daily to cut down on the germs from small fingers...but carpet has alot of places for stuff to hide and unless you saturated your carpet it does not really help other than mentally. (believe me I know that feeling)I hate a messy smelly house...my mama taught me not to let it get trashed cuz you never know who will show up...such as the Senator. Also be carfull of that bleach...I am suspicious that all the bleach I have used could have been guilty of the loss of my Kidney...seems alaska has a very high rate of Renal Cell Cancer...seems most cases are found in the bush communities...the only thing I have found I have in common with them is the use of bleach and the state I live in....hate to think the state is responsible.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471440225921577232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710261.post-1140217050413531112006-02-17T13:57:00.000-09:002006-02-17T13:57:00.000-09:00So, all it takes is for him to smell REALLY bad, a...So, all it takes is for him to smell REALLY bad, and KNOW that he smells that bad!! Wish I would have known that a long time ago! Cuz just the fact that me wanting him to have good hygene didn't do the trick! LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
