or good quality vinyl tiles?
they make ones that really do look like stone or ceramic tiles and work well for dogs |

I love my tile floors. I have sacrificed several breakables to the ceramic tile gods, though.

Why aren't you using Orange Glow with a ShamWow? Silly girl.

Ifyouseekate, that was the upright I bought about 12 years ago. It did a great job. I also used it on my kitchen vynil. It was a huge kitchen and it cleaned it
better than any mop. I love my hardwood floors.

Trust me on this one................ 
My bf just spilled a glass of red wine on the rug at a condo we were renting in Cape Cod last week. For 3 days I tried various cleaners so we wouldn't have to pay for the rug. None of them worked. Then someone suggested this and it worked, instantly. |

^ Yeah I use the Oxy Stuff on my wool carpet where the Maine Coon pukes up hairballs; works well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tres, what about Servicemaster??? Just once for a thorough cleaning. When my sister's BIL shat and puked all over her berber carpeting, they (ServiceMaster) dealt with it. |

The people who lived there before had two goldens that they trained in the same room. Again, no smell. Are you sure you are smelling pet pee smell? Are you sure it's not post-flood smell? Cause that never goes away. Did they do mold tests before you moved in? |

Me? It's about a 20 x 40 space that was immaculate when we moved in. Never saw the point in changing it.

my mom just had a couple of rooms done.. one where murphy had peed and had diarrhea. he was unsuccesful at getting the stain completely out, and he recommended
a water/vinegar solution if/when there's ever another accident.

how do those things work on upholstery? my cat pissed in my favorite chair - twice. i've tried all the home remedies (hydrogen peroxide, baking soda,
resolve, white vinegar...) but they don't work. they did a nice job of taking the color out of that spot on the chair but the stink is still there.
have you used the bissell's on upholstery? the internet reviews say they break pretty easily... |

Your mom relied on the dog to clean up his own poo? stupidity DOEs run in the family.

I have an old Hoover cleaner that has seen me through many cleaned carpets. But I really want one of the new ones with the heating element. The water just
doesn't stay hot in my old one.
When we moved into this house, I just used cheap carpet cleaner solution and a half cup of bleach in each tankful. Luckily, the carpet is light gray, so it wouldn't really matter what the bleach did to it. That oxy stuff didn't work worth a beans. Trial and error led me to the bleach. |

I paid up the ass for lots of extensive mold testing. There are mold spores, but they are well within the healthy level and are all "regular" molds,
not the scary molds.
When the puppy pees we clean it up immediately. I am squeamish about germs and dirt, not OCD crazy but uncomfortable if I suspect something is there. Foo says that I'm crazy and that there isn't any smell (except in the garage which smells gross because we forgot to put the garbage out last week.) I have some little black lights and I'm going to review the room in question. MMMMMMadcow, all the reviews that I've read say that the heating element gets deposits from the water/cleaning solution and that the deposits break off and clog some important part in the machine. |

Tres, do you have central air or a window unit in that area?
Cause window units can hold water if they are not tilted properly and that can stink like piss. |

In this house we have central air. I checked the filters and used this little brush thing to clean out the water collection hose, but I'm wondering if
maybe the smell could be stuck in the duct work. I suspect that their dog peed on the air intake - it was rusted at about the right height. I bought a new one
but maybe I should also take a scrub brush to the duct work.
I so hate filth. These people were supremely nasty; you can go to my profile and click on the picture - it will take you to the thread that has pictures of the grossyness that we've been cleaning. |
