| It worked for me I always thought Macy was 100% potty pad trained until I spotted a pee spot on my cream colored carpet one morning. I got out all the supplies and cleaned the area and thought she just had a random accident. The next morning there was another pee spot only about 2 inches from the first one. I cleaned it up, shampooed that area, vacuumed and got concerned. This went on for about a week, always at night and in different spots about 2 inches apart. One morning I cleaned her spot, let it dry completely and rubbed a fabric dryer sheet over the area she has chosen to be her night-time potty area. It has been over a week now and she is back to pottying on her pad in the middle of the night. What is with her????? Did the fabric dryer sheet have anything to do with it??? She won't even walk near the area during the day...she walks to the side where I rubbed the dryer sheet.

| I used a new fabric dryer sheet and rubbed it all over the area she was using and the surrounding area for about 2 - 3 minutes. Every other day I take a new fabric dryer sheet and refresh the area. Can it be this simple???? If she had walked another 3 feet she would have been on her potty pad.

| I used regular Bounce fabric softener sheets. I shampooed the area with my little Bissell portable carpet cleaner, let it dry, sprayed a vinegar solution I mix with water (1/2 white vinegar with 1/2 water) and let it dry, vacuumed the area and then rubbed the entire area with the Bounce dryer sheet. This worked for me and the carpet smelled really nice. It worked for me......hope it works for someone else.

| For some reason, I think there is going to be a run on Bounce dryer sheets at the stores across the nation.
