Carpet Stain Remover

WARNING!

When my puppy has accidents on the carpet or anywhere he shouldn't, I use my homemade spray cleaner. I believe it is far less toxic to pets then commercial cleaners are, AND it's a whole lot cheaper.
VINEGAR SPRAY CLEANER FOR PET PEE SPOTS:
Use a Large utility spray bottle from a home/household department store and fill it with this mixture:
One part white distilled vinegar
One part tap water
One teaspoon of dish detergent (don't use the type with bleach in it). Just enough that it will make the concoction suds up only very lightly. You don't want too much suds.
Shake it up good.
FOR CARPET:
Set the spray bottle nozzle for stream. First spritz the pee spot well, then using a wad of paper towels, place it on top of the pee spot, step on it with your foot (wear you shoes if you don't want a peefoot) applying good pressure, Throw it away, then re-saturate the spot again with the vinegar cleaner again and use another wad of paper towels to step on again to soak it up. The pressure of your foot helps bring up any moisture from down under the carpet. You can use some more fresh paper towels to brush the nap of the carpet back up.
Using this vinegar cleaner will kill the pee ammonia smell so that your puppy will not be drawn back to that spot to pee there again.
This cleaner is great household cleaner to use on all types of surfaces and cuts grease on your stove too.
Pine Oil Cleaners
★☆☆☆☆
WARNING!
I used a pine cleaner to mop my kitchen floor and my cat walked across the floor before I could get the floor rinsed. I didn't think much about it at the time, but a little later, my cat got very sick! Throwing up, drooling, glazed look in his eyes, crying, unable to walk. I took him to the vet immediately and after the vet questioned me a bit to determine the events prior to his getting sick, the doctor told me it was the pine oil cleaner. Since the cat had walked across the floor while it was wet, he then cleaned (licked) his paws and ingested the substance. The doctor said that pine oils are highly toxic to cats. It attacks their liver mostly, and depending how much they ingested, most cats will die! (I do not know if it is for dogs, but I bet it is. )
The doctor said that if a cat doesn't ingest enough to outright kill it within hours, then their body will slowly work it out over a period of a week to 10 days. BUT. While that is happening, they will refuse to eat or maybe not drink either. So, as a concequence they will get weaker and weaker causing their recovery to slow down further to the point they will die from starvation, lack of water, or general body deterioration.
My cat was a very overweight cat. The doctor said for once that was a "good thing". Because, he had plenty of energy stored in his fat to live off of, while he was recuperating and not eating.
So, I'm happy to say that my cat "Bubby", did in fact survive! He got very, very skinny by the time he was over it and able to eat again. And now, I NEVER will use pine oil products in my home again. And, I make sure my cat does not walk across my wet floors again, either, just in case whatever cleaner I use might be toxic.

3 hours later, I then gave my dog 2 capsules of 280 mg of activated charcoal (560 Mg total). DO NOT USE CHARCOAL BRISQUETTE FOR BARBECUE!!! THEY CONTAIN KEROSENE? OR LIGHTER FLUID TO HELP WITH THE BURNING AND IS TOXIC TO INGEST OR EAT. The dosage of charcoal on the lable for humans is 2 capsules for minor problems. Since this is an emergency situation, if you have a large animal weighing 100 pounds, I would use no more than 4 capsules at one time as you want to use enough to absorb the toxic material but not enough to kill the animal, I had bought mine over the internet for myself in case of food poisoning. activated Charcoals is an absorbant agent to help capture unwanted materials and gas to carry them out of the digestive system. They DO INTERFERE with absorbing other medications so TAKE THEM APART from others meds which is why I gave her the milk thistles 3 hours before and not together.
These charcoals were disguised inside canned cat food followed with more water to help dissolve the capsules quickly once inside the stomach.
I also have on hand liquid bentonite clay (oral form used for detox, not the cosmetic kind for face mask) so I gave my dog 1 tablespoon of it plus plenty of water (6-8 tablespoon) to wash it down. this was given 30 minutes after the charcoal.
I stayed up with her til about 2 a.m. and before I went to sleep, I gave her another capsule of milk thistle along with about (160 mg of magnesium citrate to help counteract anticipated muscle twitching and seisure)Magnesium is supposed to help relax the muscles but too much will cause diarrhea. I forgot to mention that in between, I allow her to eat as much of her regular food as she wants hoping to dilute the toxin in her system. my baby did not vomit at all or excessively urinate, or have diarrhea. She did exibit some hyperactivity and her temperature was a little higher than normal(a sign of chocolate poisoning), so I try to kept her from overheating. I keep taking her outside incase she needed to go bathroom as frequency is a sign of poisoning. But she only went normally.
Next morning, my baby looked normal: no soiling of any kind (urine or feces.) I took her outside for bathroom (she still exhibited a little hyperactivity)and bought her back in to give her another dose of 2 charcoal capsules with canned cat food. As she did not looked distressed, I decided not to take her to the vet. later on in the afternoon, I gave her one more capsule of milk thistle and that was it.
The critical period for chocolate toxicity is 24 to 36 hours after ingestion. Symptoms usually appear within a few hours after ingestion. With the amount and the type of chocolate ingested for the size (12 pounds )of my baby, it really was a fatal dose. My baby was saved by milk thistle, charcoal, and magnesium. I was lucky I didn't have to take her to the vets. But if she had shown more distress, I would have. It was also recommended that the pet be induced vomiting using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water a few spoonful. google "chocolate poisoning in dogs" for how-to. I didn't induce vomiting in my case because I suspect a few hours has already passed since ingestion and the chocolate was already on the way to her intestine and not in the stomach. Thus the immediate dose of milk thistle. Lesson learned is that chocolates must be stored in child proof containers where dogs And cats cannot have access. This scared me so bad that I won't be having any chocolate in the house for a long time in the future.

I agree with Wayne, if your dog has eaten something that won't do more harm than good by making them vomit, then peroxide is definetly the ticket! We got a rescue dog from the shelter and a couple days after bringing him home he found a stick of mouse poison. By the time I saw him with it he had finished almost the whole stick. Desparate for answers I turned to Google and many posts had recommended this. I had not read anything about salt though, I just took a syringe and shot a couple tablespoons down his throat (he's a labradane, approx 80#) Within about 5 minutes he emptied his stomach. I spoke with poison control and they said since I had caught it quickly and he had vomitted that he should be okay, just watch him closely for the next 12-24 hrs. Fortunately, he was fine and continues to be a happy healthy member of our family!

It has taken me a couple years to figure this out... I guess I could not imagine.. Though I knew in my gut this was the cause.... I used Scotts Weed Killer in 09... And I am certain this is what caused the problem. I am writing you because I will almost bet that is the problem with other writers. Now the poison is in my house of course.
I am going to try to put activated charcoal down in the yard since I don't know what else can neutralize poison. It could create a horrible mess, but I don't know what else will adsorb poison... any suggestions?
I wanted to tell you so you can warn others if you wish to. I have pictures of the bag and warnings if you want them.. If you can tell me where you would publish my discovery to warn others, I will greatly appreciate it.
I used on him a Far Infrared Lamp, activated charcoal last year to get him to breathe. It took an hour to get him somewhat back to normal.... Not shaking horribly, labored breathing, terror... Stiff as if he was going to die. This year for the ears I'm doing the items in the subject line.
Thank you.
Lindaatlanta, to remediate your toxic yard (bioremediation), purchase 1 gal Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (FGHP); mix 1/4 gallon to 3/4 gallon water (depending on the size of your yard) and spray it with same applicator you used with the weed killer. Depending on how long ago this occurred and how much you applied, the herbicide may be several inches deep now. After applying the FGHP you may actually see a "foaming", this is the toxins being "oxidized".
