how to get rid of Urine smell
Comments (6)yeh like joe, doubt it would be where workers pee'd that would not last more than a day or 2 if it occurred, more likely from something that was mulched there. so sort of carry on regardless, smell won't hurt you. len Here is a link that might be useful: lens garden page...See MoreFirst day in new house - dog smell in carpet
Comments (20)I done renovation work in some homes where pets had soiled the carpet. Professional carpet cleaning should help. If the underboards are badly soaked they will have to be treated after the carpets are pulled up. Bleach and water applied with a paint roller works wonders! If cleaning the carpet fails have a look at carpet remnants. While it won't be the perfect kind and color it will be new and clean. If you are careful not to slice off a finger (my dad's advice to me once) it can be cut with a utility knife and simply laid in place. Again not the best installation but fairly inexpensive and much better then living with stinky carpet. Part of the joy of being a homeowner is fixing things. Check out the link to doityourself website! Free articles on everything from wiring to cleaning windows. I had never been taught electrical wiring and that site gave me enough information to be confident that I could do the job the right way. Just becareful as you could become one of the glassy-eyed masses wandering around Home Depot dreaming of the next six things you can do to the homestead. Dolly dog whizzed on my carpet and I noticed it was much worse then any kitty accident. I had to buy my own carpet cleaning machine with special pet odor soap... which has been handy as I stupidly dribble coffee on my carpet fairly often. Just one of those cheapo machines but it is easy and does a fair job... better then I can do with a scrub brush and rags. Alas... I have about 1000 sq.ft. of light blue carpet that is 12 years old. Getting to be time to rip it out and lay some new. : ) lyra Here is a link that might be useful: do it yourself...See Morehow to get rid of skunk smell
Comments (17)First of all, what constitutes a surge in temps in MN? Highs in the 20s? ;-) Our Shelby dog got sprayed numerous times when we lived in CA. Let's see: 4:35 a.m,. when I was due to leave for a HUGE work event at 4:45; 2:30 a.m. on a Tuesday (my husband and I both smelled so much from washing her that both of our workplaces smelled like skunk that day); and pre-dawn on Mother's day. If you suspect it's going to happen, you can stock up on Nature's Miracle skunk remover. It instructs you to apply it before you wet the dog. It works on the oil. Once you wet the dog, you're in an oil-and-water situation and that's nothing but trouble. Truly though, only time will take away the smell. Lots and lots of time. :-) Amy...See MoreDog pee's on live oak - how to get rid of smell?
