| housebreaking w/o breaking down Being that Piper is my first yorkie, I was unaware of the challenges insofar housebreaking my girl. I decided in order to save on frustration (i.e. losing the battle!), a steam cleaner was in order and purchased a Bissel. My question is whether one kind of cleaner/soap is better than another...? Any recommendations as to what to use in my steam cleaner and/or what product is best for "spot" cleaning? We've come a long way, but as I work full-time, I often come home to an accident or two. Thanks! |

| Awww, cute girl! Well can't offer much advice as the solution my family did was simply to remove the carpets and replace them with vinyl/tiled flooring. Much easier to clean and smells don't stick around as long.

| For spot cleaning, there's a great product called Urine Destroyer. We get it in a big jug and then put it in a spray bottle. I really like it because it doesn't just cover up the smell, it breaks down the enzymes in the urine/poop to keep your little one from going back to that spot repeatedly. As far as the steamer, we have a Bissel shampooer as well. I always get the shampoo specifically for pets. It's always going to do a better job not just of getting rid of the pet stain, but in curing the scent, too. Best of luck!!! I know housebreaking these little ones can be tough, but they'll get the hang of it!!
