I worked at Walmart for over a year and one thing we were told is we were not allowed to push our personal opinions on the customer. So you telling customers not to buy Iams and Eukabu because of this or that would be against policy. Just a fair warning. Also my dog just got diagnosed with epilepsy and one thing the vet told me to start her on (and even included a bag himself as part of the visit) is Eukanuba FP as it is proven to be healthier and help control epilepsy symptoms in dogs. |
Every cleaner you use has a child warning on it. Bleach after completely drying and a room aired out has worked well for me. No adverse reactions as to date. Ive used it for a long time. |
mooping floors i'm just letting you all know what i read... there are some cleaners out there with out child warning labels on them and one is murphy's oil soap |
Anytime I clean floors, I make sure that my dogs are not allowed on them until they are dry. I have done this for years and had no problems. So I think that whatever you use will be safe as long as it is dry before they step on it. |
I have several yorkies so I cant use Murphys soap I would if I could! I have to use something that kills bacteria, spores, and has a wham to it. Does Murphys oil soap have antibacterial properties to it? I dont have any in the house. |
clean floors i use to use bleach on everything - i was the bleach queen, since i got the dogs im just scared to use it around them :confused: i still bleach my bathroom and basement... but not the kitchen..... |
I have tile floors and I use bleach and water in my Floormate. It puts the bleach and water down, scrubs the floor, and then picks it up. The floor is dry. I LOVE my Floormate! The first time I used it I wanted to see just how clean it got the floors so after I did the floor I wiped it with a wet paper towel and not a speck of dirt was on that paper towel. Anyone else have one? |
Every single cleaner has a child warning on it these days but obviously theyre harmless once the floor is dry. I use bleach all the time and always have,I cant imagine washing my floor with something thats just going to smell great but leave the bacteria behind,so bleach is a great option because I love the disenfected smell that it leaves behind. I always wash my floors with the windows and patio doors open anyway because I want it to dry as quick as possible so that feet marks arent left over..once its dry,its perfectly safe,even if Iv used tons of bleach. I tried vinegar and water once but it left the house smelling like a fast food restaurant for ages :( |
I use the Swiffer Wet Jet, and for major cleanings, I use Mr. Clean. |
I use fabuloso too, it smells great! I like the purple one the best! This is what I have always used in my house, and i always get compliments on how great my house always smells. |
Odorban works good. I mix it with whatever I'm using. I buy it by the gallon at Sam's. Only need small amount. |
I have three dogs total, one is not a Yorkie, and I have used Swiffer Wet Jet since it came out with absolutely no problems. For quick clean-ups, I have a spray bottle with a little dishwashing liquid and water mixed. My floors are ceramic tile with carpet in the living area, large open concept room with lots of tile to carpet contact area. Could not use bleach or it would damage the carpet. Personally, vinegar is great for removing hard water spots on plumbing fixtures, but just don't feel it sanitizes the floors. |

I have lots of vinegar! I juse it a lot in the laundry -w hy didn't I think of that. Lots of good ideas here surely I can find one I can breathe with and it won't hurt the pups. I try keeping the pups up until it's dry, but with the humidity in South Texas even with the a/c on and a fan going sometimes it's 30 minutes til it's dry. I've started doing the major mopping after I get them kenneled up at night and that has helped. I really appreciate all the advice. Thank you all |
I have ceramic tile floors and what I use is called tough & tender. It's an organic cleaner. It's only available on-line. It has tea tree oil in it. Here is the website if anyone is interested. Another good one from the same place is called Soul-mel. I'm out of it at the time and have not restocked. www.melaleuca.com |

Vinegar!!! After reading all the posts & varying opinions .... everyone just has to use their own best judgement. I have to say that I personally find vinegar the most nausiating thing I have ever smelled in my life .... BUT ..... after a vet visit last Friday I will just gag, hold my nose and use it anyway!! Toto has a very bad yeast infection in her little ear ... vet instructions were: clean ears thoroughly with a mixture of 1/3 vinegar, 2/3 water ... then the medication. Soooooo .... it's gotta be safe for Toto! She stinks to high heaven but if it helps her little ears, I can certainly stand to smell it! ;) |
vinegar any other product to get out their smell in carpets besides vinegar? |
vinager and water can you put alittle vinager in your carpet machine for the pet odor as well? i have carpet and i use a shampooer but if vinager works on carpet i'll try it in my machine also along with the soap. has anyone tried that? :animal36 |
baking soda Don't forget about the all-time favorite, Baking Soda! It is cheap and removes carpet odor. It also feels soft and cool to the feet. I usually keep it in the fridge and refrigerator to keep them fresh. When I want to deoderize carpet, I change the refrigerator baking soda and use the old one to spread throughout the carpet. Leave it on the carpet for about 30 minutes and vacuum away. It will cause you to need a new bag as it is heavy in your vacuum. |
thanks for the baking soda idea. never thought about that. i'll try that today :) :thumbup: |
vinegar Here's what i'm going to do, (major cleaning in my house this weekend, were scrubbing down walls and carpets) i'm going to use the regular shampoo first on my carpet and then go over it again with vinegar and water, then every once in a while i'll try sprinkling baking soda on the carpet let it sit for an hour and vacuum. thanks everyone on YT.. i'm going to give it a shot, nothing else is working for me and it is getting very costly... :) |
You want to make sure your carpet is dry when putting on baking soda! It won't hurt your carpet but will leave the white on there. If that happens, wait until dry and vacuum again. |
will do will do.. my baby boy just learned how to lift his leg a couple weeks ago and the little bugger don't seem to want and put it down now :confused: |
