I finally got around to mixing it and applying it today - mainly because I'm up and down the stairs so much I didn't want a big wet spot to be walking over, and then on the days I'm not up and down the stairs so much, I kept forgetting to do it. Anyway, I started reading the ingredients on the bottle - water, hydrogen peroxide, citrus oil. I don't know the exact measurements, but couldn't I have mixed some of this stuff up for myself? Why did we have to spend $20 on the bottle?
I went back and checked the ingredients again, and I missed the 100% biodegradable and non-irritating detergents, so maybe not. I suppose it really won't matter, if this stuff really gets rid of the pee smell.
I did do a quick search on 'cleaning with hydrogen peroxide' and got quite a list of pages to check out, just because I thought it would be interesting, and I found a comment that said:
Also good when dogs pee on the carpet. Takes out the smell so that they won't pee there again.If only I'd checked before, but I didn't know. I tried vinegar, because I thought vinegar was good for everything, but I never thought of hydrogen peroxide.
Ooo, that's good to know. Especially as the pets get older.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you. I babysat my moms dog and she wet on my hall rug. I cleaned it but my dog can still smell it. I will use the peroxide!
ReplyDeleteI would have been a little worried about using hydrogen peroxide on fabrics because I know it's a type of bleach. Maybe it doesn't react with everything like chlorine bleach, but I'd recommend doing a test spot first!
