I can not tell you all the types of flooring we had and replaced in the Maryland house..35 yrs of experince with floors.   
Once I was at the carpet store and the salesman asked what I was looking for.."I told him a carpet the color of dog pee." What finally worked was giving up and putting down vinyl or tile and area rugs where the dogs had freedom. Every December I would go to Sears and buy a couple reminents for these areas...wanted it nice and fresh for Christmas! LOL   
Once my husband dragged out the old area rug and left it in the driveway for the trash. It rained during the night and we had a stream of golden yellow pee running down the driveway...I know everyone must think I lived in a toliet, honestly,my house was clean and odor free, ask Whispersmom. The fact is when you breed dogs and have a house full, you learn to accept what you can not change or you go crazy.     |
