safer cleaning products...for our 4 legged family members.
I just read a comment about something being "greener" and so I would like to offer my thought on this because yes...I admit I am a tree hugger and proud of it!
1. vineger...yes it smells for awhile but it also neutralizes urine, and removes the spot and so I use this on any pee accidents and in the dog wash to get rid of oders...also the slime and deposit on dog dishes can be easily removed by soaking these in 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar for a bit a cup or less total...just swish it with your rag a couple times. Many more uses but this is a couple.
2.Hydrogen peroxide...a disinfectant...i use this on my floors...NOT Carpet...to clean up. It's cheap and I actually use this all over my house...especially sinks! You can look up this a s a cleaner.
3. Baking soda....for wash and floors...takes oders away.
Did you know that awhile ago there was alot of contraversy(sp) on a floor cleaner that killed dogs (kidney failure I believe) as the dogs licked the floors and became sick and died...from what I read the chemicals in it had 1 different than antifreeze...scary to me!!!!!!!!!
You can go online and look up all kinds of cleaners that are safer for our furry friends. My sister in law had her house sprayed for some bug(???) in AZ and both her dogs ended up getting VERY sick...vet said do not do this again!
Just some thoughts...if anyone has some homade cleaners to share...I'd be interested!
Thanks! Jane

Jane, I don't have any recipes that I can remember, but thanks for the tips! Is the Hydrogen Peroxide safe for dogs if they ingest it??

hydrogen peroxide is awesome, I always keep 6 bottles at home, if you look at most dog clean up products, usually the ingredient consist of hydrogen peroxide. You can also use it to induce your dog to vomit, especially when they ate something bad like chocolate, onion...etc.

Thanks...didn't know this...but I always have several bottles too!!!!

No not to ingest as to drink but if they were to lick the floor it would not hurt them...actually dentists use geloxide for rinsing peoples mouths...I believe...I use it for many things...take a couple capfuls and poor it around your kischen sink faucet or by the ring around the drain part...I love to watch it turn whits and fizz...killing germs just like on a sore BUT I believe that it breaks down to plain water...still don't want to let them drink...put a drop in your mouth and it will fizz like you have rabies....ok...thats how people used to describe foaming at the mouth...I think the now dilute this as years ago people would die their hair (*red) with it and you can buy a stronger solution but you order it online...
