Kitteh Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Can any of you give me suggestions for a good cleaner (homemade or cheap store bought ) to clean up urine off the floorboards? I've been using natures miracle, which has been great, but it's a bit on the expensive side. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I used, vinegar and warm water. Then mop the house with Pine O Clean in warm water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel's Mate Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Bio Zet laundry powder is what we use. It has an enzyme in it that breaks down the urine....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESCS Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Bio Zet for us too. I have used Urine Off which was also effective but Bio Zet is a cheaper option as it's the washing detergent we use for laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitteh Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thanks for the tips guys :p Have been using the warm water and vinegar, but am hating the smell ( Like it on my chips, not so much on the floors) Will give the bio zet a shot. ( hopefully not for too much longer!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) I use the Shannon Lush recipe: Into a litre bottle 1 teaspoon lavendar oil + 1 cup vinegar and top up with water. I clean up as much as I can with paper towel or washable rags, then I sprinkle with bicarb then spray with the mix then wipe up. The pong is weird but doesn't last long and dog won't seek out the same spot. Number 1 rule of house training - never scold the dog (or let it think it's being scolded) or it will hide next time it needs to pee - which makes cleanup so much harder. Number 2 rule - avoid using bleach - cos it smells like a spot that needs going over to a dog. Number 3 rule - maybe this should be the first one - watch the dog like a hawk... edit - lavendar oil, not essence or flowers - oops Edited May 2, 2011 by Mrs Rusty Bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my "secret" to keeping him super white! :p 3.I try, but he's a weeing ninja. I'll turn my back for a millisecond and WHAMO...puddle on the floor. He's getting much better now though.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Have you tried the umbilical method? Ie attaching him to you? Failing that - I'd be going the crate. Dog stays in crate until I can watch him like a hawk eg training session. Boy dogs weeing ninjas are just slightly more than I can cope with.

SmoothieGirl Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Is bleach safe to use on a dog? Given its toxic I wouldn't have thought so, but I'm prepared to be educated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god. I'm home sick today and obviously my sense of humour isn't thinking straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaJ Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Use white vinegar - I even add it to the water when I clean the carpets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
