Pet urine smell remover?

Pet urine smells because of the bacteria in it. To remove the smell you need to completely kill the bacteria and remove the stain.

When cleaning pet stains, you must remember that animals urinate instinctively where they smell urine. This is important because urine contains some of the same chemical compounds found in vinegar and ammonia. Because of this, you do not want to clean carpet with anything ammonia or vinegar based if you have pets. If you do this, you are only enhancing the smell of those compounds and encouraging your pet to continue to urinate in that spot.

You also need to be leary of anything enzyme based. Enzymes are live bacteria themselves. They are intended to be released to eat away the protein in urine stains. However if you have ever cleaned your carpet with anything else at any point in time, the enzymes will not eat the urine stain. Instead they will focus on eating whatever reside that other cleaner has left behind. You also want to remember that being live bacteria, enzyme based cleaners will die. When this happens, they decompose in your carpet and begin to smell after they have expired.

You need to use a cleaner that will kill the bacteria, deodorize the odor and remove the stain.

first you spray some smelly stuff in the shoe then if that doesn't work put them in the washer

What is the best flooring to use for a cat who sometimes urinates on the stairs?

First Answer:

laminant.

Second Answer:

There are many reasons why your cat is urinating on your floors. Make sure you have a cat box available for your cat or cats to urinate in. Make sure they know where the box is at and keep it clean or the cats will tend not to use it if too dirty. Another reason is if a cat gets a urinary infection. Symptoms of this would be your cat tends to squat and try to pee constantly. Take your cat immediately into the Veterinarian if you suspect this, as a cat can die pretty fast from this problem. They become very toxic, lethargic and won't eat from this problem. If your cat or cats are acting fine, just make sure you have a clean clean cat box available for them. They should not be urinating on the floor.

Why is a cool basement often damp in the summer?

In a basement, the earth itself (and sometimes bedrock or large boulders) prevent extreme temperature extremes from occurring. In the summer, the basement would then be relatively cool compared to the outside temperature. Also in summer where people have basements, it gets humid as well as warm. When this humidity gets into the basement, some of the moisture in the air condenses out onto cool surfaces. This results in a general dampness in a basement. And, this dampness can become a kind of mustiness, since many basements have poor ventilation to circulate fresh air through them.

What detergent works best for bed bugs?

To best answer this question, any one will work. Soap (of any kind) will kill most insects as it inhibits them to breathe as it clogs up the breathing passages. Dish detergent is what I would suggest & the cheapest one will work. I would suggest a spray bottle with the same amount that you would use for a sink full of dishes added to a bottle almost full of water. Saturate the bed until it is wet to the touch. Let it air dry and then vacuum it if you want and then use clean, laundered linens. Make sure to open up the seams and spray them as well on the matress.

Your best bet is to use a steam cleaner. If that is not possible make sure you pick up anything solid and then take paper towel and soak up any liquid you can(step on the paper towel to give more pressure if you have to) Then get some cleaner like lysol or anything nonbleach that you can sprey on the spot and scrub it in. Make sie after you have scrubbed to soak up all liquid again. If there is a smell you can use vinegar. If there is still a stain there is a cleaner called Spot Shot that works really good, just make sure it is ok for you carpet so you don't fade the color.

What soap do you use to clean a bunny?

If I were you I would just use plain old rabbit soap, because if you were to use your body soap for your rabbit, it would dry out their skin, becasue they have different skin types. If you don't have rabbit shampoo then I would say that its safe to use just water to wash your rabbit.

How do you clean pee from leather?

This is a tough one. You can get the urine out of the cloth, but usually it seeps down inside the batting and foam. The best thing to do is get a carpet cleaner to come in and have them do some deep cleaning on your furniture. After it's dry use "Febreeze" spray to get any odors out. I own pets and even though my dogs and cat are very clean, I put blankets on my furniture and take them off when company comes. This also is a good preventative measure if one of friends is coming over with her kids and they have their shoes on or have an accident. It's easier to wash the blankets and cheaper!

How do you remove musty smell out of a mink coat?

Please do not place them in the sun as the answer recommends; sun fades the color and degrades vintage furs. Heat and light are generally both hard on vintage materials, from fur to the lining. Hanging is likewise not a good idea, whether on a hanger (which often strains shoulder seams) or even more so pinned on or thrown over a rough clothes line.

Odors are particularly difficult to remove from old furs. I would try a professional fur cleaner; the investment is well worth it to avoid ruining a vintage fur. If that's out of the budget (it is a little more than dry cleaning, last time I checked), I'd try airing it out in a climate controlled room or even the coffee and freezing method several websites mention. Please don't put these out in the sun for days, or on a clothes line! Save up for a professional cleaning if possible!

"You need to let these coats air out in the sun. Now that fall is coming you can have drier weather (not so humid). Allow them to air out for several days. Hang them over a clothes line or hang them up while on their coat hanger."
