GOOD OLD-FASHIONED
HOME
REMEDIES.There’s no question, cleaning solutions for getting stains out and odors under control have come a long way. Many of today’s products are more environ- mentally safe for children and pets. In a pinch, though, old-fashioned, tried and true household remedies for tackling pet odors in
carpets, rugs and upholstery still work. BAKING SODA – For a urine spot that has already dried, sprinkle a generous
amount of baking soda over the soiled section and then let it sit for two hours before vacuuming. Pet Advisory: Dr. Tina Wismer, DVM, DABVT, DABT, medical director of the ASPCA Poison Control Center, advises owners to use a baby gate or an overturned laundry basket to keep pets away from the area while the baking soda sets. Although this cleaning method is safe to use in homes,“If ingested, baking soda can cause stomach upset and electrolyte imbalances,” says Dr. Wismer.WHITEVINEGAR – If you have a urine spot on your carpet that’s still wet, opt for eco-friendly white vinegar, which neutralizes odors due to its high acidity — and works well even if the stain or smell has been there for a while. Start by blotting the area, rather than rubbing it, which will only push the stain further into the carpeting fibers. Then mix equal parts white vinegar and cold water, and pour the mix- ture generously over the soiled section.Blot well, and then let it dry. (A fan can speed up the process.) Once dry, run a vac- uum over the area.
