Good morning Dale, Fran, Tibs, Kat, Sonic, Bear & Atty!

Good words in those gifs Dale!

Good morning, CES!
Sorry you came home to such a mess! 35 lbs of dog food in 2 weeks is a LOT of food!!

 

[SilverBear]

Who said that? (looks around)
I hear a voice, but no face (avatar) to it....

I see one:

Morning CES. Wow. Bummers. They make pet specific stuff with enzymes and microbes formulated to take care of...excretions. May be worth it if it got into the pad, as no surface cleaning will solve that smell problem.

 

[CES]

The stuff I'm using is supposedly formulated for pets, and I'm hoping that the 4-5 cleanings are getting down to the pad . But the stuff I'm using is older and there may be something better out there. Otherwise I'm SoL.

What's on the agenda,tib?

got one fella tied to the chimney blowing off the roof

good morning, sunshine, gracie, bear and ces!

@ ces - for that kind of accident i've had good luck with white vinegar in the past

 

[CES]

Hmmm. vinegar might be a reasonable solution- how did you use it, Tibs. What dilution?

 

[tiburonfirst]

straight up for cassie

 

[SilverBear]

... vinegar ... solution ...

You wacky scientists! Always quick with an inside joke!!! Ha ha!

 

[CES]

I can do that...then use the little steam vac (one more time) to get up the excess. Thanks. Turns out that with the enzymatic cleaners i I'll have to rinse the carpet area to make sure all of the first cleaner is gone anyway, so i might as well try the vinegar first.

I'm sensing a trend this morning.

Hmm.
Baking soda is supposed to remove odors too (somehow?). I only mention it since it also neutralizes acids ...

only because I'm still tired, cranky, and disappointed in the expensive, professional service that was less than i'd hoped. The dogs are ok, so that's the main thing. But, i have to figure out something better for the next long trip.

Atty, I plan to use baking soda too, but not until everything is dry, it cakes and clumps and is almost impossible to get off the carpet otherwise.

you might do better reaching out to a student again next time
btw weren't you gone 3 weeks? but 35 lbs is still a lot ..............

Morning late comers!!

CES, I feel for you. Been there, done that. Not easy, but you can get it all up.

 

[AttyPops]

I was wondering if the acids in the vinegar would "eat" the pad...
So let them work a while, and neutralize with a whatever-ph rinse

IDK. Not a scientist nor vinegar expert. :/

Morning late comers!!

Nobody is taking the bait, you know.
