Cleaning-Up Pet Stains

Pet stains not only are unsightly, but often result in less-than-pleasant odors. A simple and effective way to get the stain out is to use a solution consisting of two tablespoons of Spic-n-Span in one gallon of warm water -- working the solution into the area with a cloth or sponge. Next, rinse the area with one-half cup of white vinegar in a gallon of warm water. This will help to neutralize the detergent and prevent it from attracting dirt down the road. Finally, blot the area with a dry towel to remove any excess dampness. Hard-hit areas might require professional steam-cleaning, replacement of the pad below or even a bleaching of the concrete or wood substrate to kill the odor-causing bacteria. And that's the On The House tip for today.
