Best way to clean carpets so my dog doesn't pee in new house...
Comments (5)For your dog to pee in a 'new' home isn't that unusual. My male dog would be tempted to do the same but once he knows it's not allowed (or we're living in the home) it's no longer an issue. My current dog has never had an accident in the house, but when the carpet layers had to pull up new carpet (long story) they found a pee spot....left by my dog! They said it happens all the time with new carpet! I think the best you can do is buy a black light and look for old stain marks, then treat them with an enzyme cleaner such as Natures Miracle or Odormute. That will give you better results than any carpet cleaner. Accept that you may never be able to rid the house of hidden odors. If the previous dog had a problem marking the house, then there's a good chance the pad and subfloor are holding the odor. Give your dog a short course on house training, which is something any dog going into a new household should have, and watch for and treat any areas she tends to sniff more than usual. I don't think you'll have a long term problem if your dog was good about not going in the house.

Comments (8)I have had Caesarstone for a couple of years now and I'll share some of the tips I learned from them and I've gotten over the years. -As much as you can, wipe up the spills. If you let it sit, you can soak it with warm water and dishwashing liquid. -Don't scrape hardened spills with razors or knives. Scrape them with a plastic ice pick. -Don't use abrasive liquids or solutions during cleaning. -Always use cutting boards and trivets whenever you're cutting vegetables or meat and when you need to remove a hot pot or hot pan. -Lastly, after cleaning the countertop, wipe down everything with a paper towel to prevent having watermarks.

Comments (3)You can make your own 'Wet & Forget' solution and save $$. I use 50% swimming pool 'algaecide'. Dilute to a 2% solution and spray. Used a hose end sprayer. Set the dilution dial to 5oz: 1 gallon of water. Utikem 50% Algaecide Concentrate Same active ingredient as Wet and Forget. Wet & Forget concentrate is <10% solution. The Utikem product is 50% solution....5X more concentrated. Wet & Forget® Products The active ingredient is Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, which is 9.9% of the product. This ingredient is also known as Benzalkonium chloride, and it is one of the active ingredients in Clorox wipes....See MoreBest way to clean large feather down cushions without water
