| I use white vinegar sometimes and then other times I use murphys oil soap. I like the murphys cause it conditions my floors really well. |

| I use Nature's Miracle every night when I change their pad. They always go on the pad, but I still clean around it with the Nature's Miracle for the sake of odors. My cleaning lady uses vinegar and water on the the whole house though when she cleans bc its the only thing that I know is safe if the pups lick it and it makes the floors shine!

| This is a good thread cause I have hardwood floors and I was wondering how to clean my floors. Gucci has some accidents always in the same spot. I was using vinegar diluted in water but doesn't seem to work. Does Murphys Oil soap removes the smell and stain? |

| The smell of vinegar totally pukes me out. It does work, I am told. I use products by OdoBan. One is a disinfectant and another is Bio-odor Digester. When they go to bed, I spray the bio-odor stuff on the floor and leave it to dry overnight. I clean hardwood floors a number of ways. My favorites are scented electric dishwashing detergent or Fabric softener..It works well on wood as it has a wee bit of oily substance in it. If I could only have one product, it would be the original Odo-Ban I wash clothes in it, I scrub floors with it, I use it as a room deodorizing spray..and probably 10 more things. I love the smell and the effect it has on almost everything I wash with it.. |

| I hope you find the answer here. Years ago, we bought a Victorian home from a local vet. He would take some of the sick animals home with him. I had no idea the damage done to those beautiful floors, until they moved out. We had to have the floors sanded and completely refinished. Under the area rugs, looked like black mold about the size of saucers. It was actually the PP that had soaked into the wood.

| I use wipes that are made for a swiffer (or maybe it's the Pledge version of the swiffer). Anyway, they're wet wipes and they're made with vinegar. They work pretty good for wiping up peepee pretty quickly...

| I use white vinegar and water too, but I find that it dulls my floors shine. When I wash the whole floor with the cleaner that I have it improves, but as soon as I hit it witl water and vinegar you can notice the dullness. I'm going to try and find the Murphy's Oil.

| "Do you get it off the internet? Sounds like great stuff! Is the original called Odo-Ban Deodorizer & Disfinfectant? " Odo-Ban can now be purchased at Sam's club. There is a quality control number on the jug(it comes in gallon jugs of concentrate) and you can call that and ask for the number to order. Let me take a look at my jug (Villette, don't even go there!)..phone 1-800-841-3904 Here is what this one says OdoBan ELIMINATES ODORS. The addy is www.cleancontrol.com. It is made in Georgia. I have the different products shipped by the case and they will mix a case. The stain control, bio-odor control and the bio-drain control are wonderful. All of the products except for OdoBan are enzymatic and not caustic. That is important if you pour a caustic substance down a drain and still need the plumber, the caustic products can burn the skin. These products do not. |

| Awesome Stuff I have 2200 sq ft of FLOORS. I have 5 dogs and a cat...all indoor pets....all but my cat has accidents....I have tried so many things and always now use Murphy's Oil Soap! I use the regular when I mix with water, lots of oil soap and a little water to mop once a week. Then I use the squirt Murphys to mop up daily. Floors look beautiful and anyone would tell you there in NO ODOR in my home and to top it off we smoke! Great stuff and cheap also! |
