[Dailydrool] Carpet Odor

[Marilyn Briggs]

Hey, Vicki 


I have had good luck with Listerine (or the cheaper, imitation Listerine). I have a deck over a basement 
entrance that is a cement pit with a drain with 2 steps to the yard. My Addison's basset would not go down the rather 
lengthy, steep stairs from the deck, and peed on it regularly, and it dripped through to the cement pit. 
Reeked in the summer. I tried all kinds of stuff, including bleach water-which worked the best-until I read about 
some kennel that used listerine to clean and disinfect kennels. It works! 


If your carpet is pretty much toast anyway- I would pour it on full strength and let it sit awhile and then put a towel 
down and stand on it and sop it up. Don't use the blue-it might stain. Killing the germs is apparently an important part 
of getting rid of the smell. (I think I have even seen clear Listerine?). Marilyn Briggs 


" I've tried the KOE kennel odor cleaner, 
different shampoos, Natures Miracle, just about everything. It's a rental 
house & at some point I'll probably have to pay to have the carpet ripped 
up, new pad put down, etc. But there's GOT to be something else I can use. "
