What is the best way to get rid of
 

hmmm,,, try vinegar, that take the smell away... i usuall put vinegar in a bowl and put it whereever the pads are, and no smell... actually i put around the whole house, takes away all smells...

I agree, vinegar and a water mixture should do the trick!

The ammonia could be contributing to the smell. All the "books" say that you should not use ammonia because it will not take away the pee smell. It will, in fact, attract the dogs to pee in those spots. You can either use the vinegar and water or odor neutralizer like Simple Solution or Nature's Miracle. Both you can get at Petsmart or Petco.

As far as putting vinegar all around the house. We have 1 yorkie, 2 cats, 4 kids and a daycare. So lots of smells! Do I just put some of the vinegar in bowls and it attracts the odors?:confused:

I have a spray bottle dedicated to 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water and I just clean it up and than spray and wipe it down with that. I never smell pee so it must work. Hope this helps.

i do this:

for when they pee on the floors,carpet.
water.,vinegar,simple solution.. mixture all together in a spray bottle


for around the house
straight white vinegar in a bowl... when it evaporates fill up again.

I mix mine about half or 2/3 vinegar and other 1/2 or 1/3 water , i even add a spoon or so of baking soda in mine in a spray bottle . make sure you are over a sink when you put the soda in as it makes it boil over. Soda is suppose to be a good odor absorber. Soon as my pup pees I wipe it up with paper towel. then I spray with my mixture and soak that up while I rub it a little bit . Then if its on my carpet, I do the same thing but after I let the vinegar sit a few minutes I take a take paper towel and soak all i can up. I have some no vac carpet foam for pet stain and odor. I spray a little of that on it and let it dry. Then just wait till I vacuum my house and vacuum and if I see a dark spot i will spray the no vac on it and rub it with a damp paper towel and usually it removes the spot and it smells so good. if you spray this on your carpet just before you vacuum then get down and smell it you will see. I tried it just to see if it did smell good and it does. you dont smell vinegar in your carpet either. I buy mine at dollar general when I go there for some of my house cleaning supplies and its in a blue can . Says no vac foam and has a picture of a cat and dog and says pet odor neutralizer. Anyway, my pets do NOT go back to the same places. It really helped me with Kizzy.

I dont know if dollar general is the same or not but, We use to have some general dollar stores where I did live, then moved up here and its dollar general. I would imagine they all carry about the same thing but even walmart might have some of the same thing. I havent looked there, I just happen to see it one day and thought I would try it so that is mainly why I go to dollar general and I like to buy some of my cleaning supplies there. I dont usually buy their name brand but good name brands are cheaper there most of the time. Like Tide liquid , downy fabric softner and bounty paper towels. except when other stores have them on sale. I rarely buy off brands because I feel like if it dont work as well i'm just wasting money. I rather pay a little more and know its good. But this is DG brand, no vac foam. I checked their febreez this morning and it isnt nearly as strong as the regular so I bought the regular. I use that a lot too. Some times i've sprayed my puppies with it lightly then brush them. It helps keep the doggie smell down. I got that idea from another person with yorkies. I wouldnt saturate them with it or anything. I also got some pet cologne at the pet store with a rose smell and after their baths man they smell so good. it does smell like roses.

I would do a vinegar water solution, then a bleach water solution on the tile. The bleach just makes it smell fresh, I love bleach! But, it isn't for everyone.

I use it, and sometimes, it reacts with left over pee (and starts fizzing like a science project volcano). It is the ammonia doesn't mix with bleach thing.

what about bleach? mops the floors with a little bit of bleach in very hot water?
