The love for my two incredibly adorable cocker spaniels runs deep, but the one problem with cockers, as any loyal owner will attest to, is that they get excited and wee wee nearly all the time. We're just talking a few droplets of excitement but if you don't notice it or you're not home when the accident occurs, it can cause the biggest stink imaginable. But I refuse to clean the stink up with eco-hazardous bleach or other terribly harmful cleaners. Seriously, I'd rather live with the stink than have those poisonous substances anywhere close to my family. Fortunately, I can have my cake and eat it too by cutting the stink the green way.
1. Try Biokleen Bac-Out Stain and Odor Eliminator. This stuff is magic, it doesn?t just cover up a smell, it actually gets rid of it. It's also biodegradable and non-toxic. It's great for puppy accidents.
2. In the fridge, use aluminum free baking soda http://science.howstuffworks.com/baking-soda-save-environment2.htm to absorb lingering smells that you just can't seem to get rid of like fish and old dairy. Remove all foods that are rotten and take them out of the house entirely.
3. Shake all rugs that can be easily picked up and if possible, throw them into the wash for a good cleaning.
4. Make sure that your pooches don't have an accident on the cushions of your furniture. If you find that they did, you might ultimately have to replace the stuffing in the cushions in order to fully free yourself of the nasty stink.
