| what do you use for 'potty; smells inside?? Zoe is still a long way off from being potty trained (to go outside). And when the she pees on my tile it is hard to get the smell out. I have grout between my ceramic tile and it soaks thru the grout. I take her out many, many times and she'll pee, but sometimes she'll sneak in the hall and wet it, or the kitchen or den. This is a wide open area that can't be gated off. I dont always notice right away (although I'm contantly looking) but she is fast!!!. I just cleaned my floor with bleach and water as NOTHING else has worked. I seem to always be mopping and rinsing (every day or three times a day doesn't help). Her ex-pen is on tile and she tears up her "miracle" pee pads at night and I use the "miracle odor cleaner and repellent" and even those don't help.Now that the floor is drying the smell is returning. I've used Don Aslett's XO, Miracle odor eliminator, Nillium (odor eliminator), bleach, Fablioso (?) etc...all at separate times hoping to hit on one that works! My sinuses are having a rough time. Any help? What do you use for odor control?

You may also want to reseal the grout after a good cleaning. It will help it from penetrating. | |

| That's what I am using. I called it Miracle..sorry. Is your's the' No More Marking' spray or something else? Maybe I'm using the wrong one because I use that liberally and it still smells after 5 mins soak and wiping up. And Zoe chews up the Natures Miracle pee pads.

| That's what I use on my carpet. I use the stain and odor remover.

| Half of my house is open area with white ceramic tile. I hope I don't have to regrout. Zoe is a handful of work without doing that. LOL Plus I am afraid I'd seal the smell in the grout because nothing I use gets the smell out. I figured if all else fail then bleach would work but so far it hasn't. So y'all are using the No Marking Spray?

| i mix some biological washing powder/liquid and a glug of white vinegar into very hot water and clean the floor with that. It seems to work and the slight smell of vinegar isn't too bad at all (and much better than the smell of wee!)

Natures Miracle contains an enzyme that gets rid of the protein in urine, it doesn't just mask the smell; the enzymes actually eat the protein, which causes the smell and also causes the dog to return to the spot. Bleach only kills bacteria it doesn't get rid of the protein, so a dog will return to the spot. Yes, if your grout is absorbing any liquid it needs to be resealed. First do a through cleaning.

| I use the Nature's Miracle too and like it. I have one spot where I have used it a lot, and it felt like it had a soapy residue built up so I took my carpet steamer and instead of using any carpet cleaner, I put a little vinegar in my water and just went over the area with hot vinegar water to pick up the residue. There were a lot of suds in my water, so I felt like it really worked. It did leave my carpet feeling much softer without that residue feeling. Maybe I am just not getting it cleaned up good enough when I spot clean too, but I do like Nature's Miracle, this is just a tip if you have a particular spot where you have had to do a lot of spot cleaning over time.
