If you don't like the vinegar smell (which tends to dissapate after five or so minutes) you can always add a couple drops of lemon in the mixture or get some natural oils (lilac, cinnamon, etc) and add that to the water. You can get a two gallon bottle of white vinegar at Costco, BJ's or Same for $3.50 and it lasts forever. It's also very good for washing whites.

Yup ! This is exactly what I use - It works great on Tile and grout ...my husband was in flooring and that's what he always said to use - With carpet you can saturate a spot and it takes away the odor and the stain.....unless it's something that actually dyed the carpet then you're out of luck.

My girls had some 'adjusting' to do after my husband died and I had to move into an apartment ....thanks to vinegar & water my (carpet) looks great. I've even asked people if there is any 'dog' smells and they've said it always smells great when they come over.....

So I got myself a black light and I'm searching today but I need a cleaner.. I might need a gallon or so of it.. Anyone know where I can a gallon of pet odor and stain cleaner....

Please Help I'm starting my training on Sunday.....

ps... a steamer would also work wonders if your tile is in bad shape

I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. I used the natures miracle last night but for some reason it left an ugly film on floor it actually looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. It's not so much the odor i'm worried about it's the stains and the fact that she can still smell it. When I want her to start going outside. I'm gonna try the vinager and water. Do i just mop on floor and let dry on it's own? Since I'm starting the training tomorrow morning I'm mire worried now about the kitchen area. Thanks again.

Adjusting is never fun my girls done a ton of that this year as well.
Sorry to hear aabout your husband. It never easy to loose someone you care about and these little ones mourn too.
Vinger is the best but for those nasty poop stains I like baking soda. and water to scrub tiles.

Hey I use Natures Miracle in the spray bottle. Everytime mine pee or poop on the floor I wipe it up and then clean with NM. I have ceramic tile and hardwood floors. I also use NM on area rugs. It is also great for cats and hairball stains, even if it is an old stain. I also mop the entire area with water and small amount of clorox once a week. I let this dry before I let the dogs on the floor. My female uses the pads but my male will go outside. Good Luck.
