Cleaning up After Pets!

Vinegar & water solution works the best. Just mix equal parts vinegar & water, or a bit more vinegar than water {it doesn't have to be exact} saturate the area, and allow to dry naturally. I don't know if its the acid in the vinegar or what, but its a life-saver when it comes to all kinds of pet odors! I even use it just to spritz the furniture and carpets occassionally :) Oh - doesn't matter whether you use regular or cider vinegar.

Hi B. that is a hard one i couldnt find anything to get the smell out of an older ladies home after she had passed away she had 20 cats in her house and never let them out....the company i work for has some thing that i found works quite well give me a call if u want to know about it ###-###-####. thank you and best of luck

I have a Fresh Air unit and I was wondering, can you use it for me as an observation for the mattress? It will be an awesome experience and a great help for the both of us to see if this unit is useful. It will be a wonderful testimony for me to put in my newsletter.

have you tried cornstarch? thats what my mom used to use

Well you can use baking soda for the smell and vinegar for it also........very good stuff .....i use this on my kids beds b/c of the smell of pull ups and the of bed wetting....works really good.........then you can also get carpet baking soda also from arm and hammer that is for the carpet but works really good on the beds.......just let it sit on the bed than take a vacuum and clean it off work very well....i hope this work out......with any kind of smell baking soda is great i use it doing other stuff

I've also used Febreze, and it works pretty well.

I worked at PetsMart as an obedience instructor and in store for several years and also have been a beloved pet owner. Go to PetsMart, Petco or somewhere and get Nature's Miracle or Simple Solution. After thouroughly cleaning the area, pour, saturate the area of the mattress and allow to dry naturally, this should take care of the problem....Good Luck

Try Natures Miracle or Equalizer!

I had a small italian greyhound who peed on our mattress a few times...no more bedtime with us for her...:), but, i came across a solution of baking soda that works well. First, get out the excess urine with a paper towel or other cloth, then sprinkle the baking soda on top of the area where the urine was. Let it sit until it absorbs, then "brush" it off with an old toothbrush. Next, with new baking soda, make a paste with water and scrub that into the soiled area. Allow it to sit for at least 15 mintes, wipe up, then spray with some febreze! I also sprayed with Lysol to make sure it was truly CLEAN! Good luck, i know it's no fun.

When I wash my dogs bedding, I add a cup of vinegar to the water to get rid of odors. I bet if you put some in a spray bottle and sprayed the mattress when the vinegar evaporated it would take the smell with it. I found the pet bedding trick in a home remedy book I have. Vinegar is great for getting unwanted smells out of things. Good luck.

Gosh, wish I would of had those responses a few years back. I had a cat that did this.. on me.. while I was sleeping... I had to throw the matress out!
