Guest Anonymous Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Ok you all know that we live in government housing on base.. well they just remolded our home and we have carpet... now we have boonie who feels he needs to mark his terriorty and i can't get the pee stains out of the carpet no matter how fast i grab him doing it.. is there anytying out there that can remove them? I treid steam cleaning but it doesn't get rid of them. I can just see them charging us 2000.00 to replace the carpet when we move...... help me Quote
BuddysMom Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I saw that Resolve has a new specialized "pet stain formula" ... haven't tried it but the original is good... Good luck! Quote
Baileysmom Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Hey DAL, you know I jsut went through having all the pups here and tons of stains - Folex seemed to work really well, its in a big round white bottle with purple writing found it at target, walmart, grocery stores..... the thing I liked was that the stains dont seem to "come back" which is the problem I always have (they look gone when I clean them and then somehow reappear!) I have also heard alot of people here talk about "natures miracle" I think - but not sure if thats stains or jsut odors? Quote
ESSlover Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Dal, natures miracle rocks! Carson sometimes won't let us know when he needs to go, so we have used it a couple times. It can get out the odor and the spot. Even can get out the smell of cat pee :o Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 are you going to get him fixed -he will stop marking then Quote
schippsmom Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 :Dog_run: My vote goes to Nature's Miracle. FYI I have a cleaning business and it has worked wonders. I've also used a product called Spot Shot. Paula & Re-Run Quote
Taurus and Jada Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 We have a bissel green machine, and it is great. I like it because it actually sucks the stain ( and mess ) out of the carpet. They have a pet formula, and we have always been very happy with it. I think the machine is about $100 , but well worth every penny. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 thanks guys i JUST bought a brand new 200.00 steam cleaner last night.. i'll have to pick up some of that Folex BM i heard the housing guys talking about it.. and if that doesn't work i'll have to get that natures miracle. his pee is just so florecent on the beigh carpet! :o Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I like the Nature's Miracle....and it doesn't smell....well....like a cleaning product. It's not offensive or anything. I have never heard of Folex but it sounds worth looking into! Especially with everyone here. Someone is always barfing on the carpet or something else...... Quote
Queen Bitch Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 As a preventative measure, they make these things called belly bands that pretty much act as a diaper for the boy dogs. http://mall.cairnrescue.com/inv_bellyband.htm There is an example there and I think you can get them from various pet supply catalog, or even make your own. And they come in a variety of colors/patterns. ANOTHER FASHION ACCESSORY!! :lol: They give a pretty good description of training with the band on that page. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 haha those are great! i think i'll order one. thankd corrie anyone know how long it will take for him to STOP marking? Quote
ObedienceGrrl Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Oh sheesh, DAL.....but sometimes they just don't. I know....I don't mean to be a downer....but..... Tater's foster mom has a dominant male maltese. He's 4 pounds but thinks he's about 200. His house marking is controlled until she brings in a new foster....then it starts all over again. Or if something is going on outside that he feels he needs to be a part of. She said that he and Tater had marking contests. Her Maltese started it, and Tater just finished. So I hope in a house where there is no marking inside, he'll continue to just take it outside with the boys. I'm just giving you one side.....not by all means what is happening with Boonie! Quote

Horsefeathers! Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I didn't even realize you could BUY belly bands! :o I've used them (homemade :oops: ) on some elderly incontinent dogs in the past (one was a little ol' dilapidated Yorkie, DivOb :wink: ). They work wonderfully. Of course, it's treating the symptom and is not the cure, but it sure can make life much easier until you find that "cure." :wink: Good luck! 8) Quote
Yoladybug Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Folex is amazing...simply amazing. It's really easy to use and doesn't cost much at all. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Nautres miracle didn't work. the stains are still there :( Quote
tx2478 Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 hey dal no advice i am still trying to find out how to get rid of kool aid stains....let me know if the folex works....be careful with the steamcleaning remember the guy said it would leave a bald spot if you do it too much and i know you and your compulsive steam cleaning....:) Quote
imported_Debbie Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 What is Folex and where do you get it ?? I've used that Spot Shot and while it does a good job cleaning the carpet, it has a really intense chemical odor......my hubby is very nose sensitive about strong smells and he hates it....... I've also used Resolve and the new Resolve Triple Action......have you seen the commercial where the cleaning lady takes out the old ink spot on the carpet from Thomas Jefferson or something ??? Well I tried it on an old ink spot and the ink spot is still there.......the ink is now actually brighter than it was before and the beige carpet around it looks like white rings............ :o :roll: Quote
Baileysmom Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 I like the resolve products also, but have had problems with the stains "reappearing" :evil: and it doesnt seem to happen as much with folex - you can get folex pretty much anywhere - at the grocery store, target, etc....... a big white bottle with purple writing Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 thanks! i'll have to head out and get some today! Quote
imported_Debbie Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 :wink: Thanks Baileysmom !! I think I'll try some of that Folex...... Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 For what it's worth, I use some stuff called Equalizer. I've never seen it anywhere but at my vet's office (so I don't know who all carries it), but it will take out bloody diarrhea that's been simmering on the floor all day until some unfortunate soul comes home to it. That's about as brutal a test as I've given it. It does smell kind of chemical-ish for a few minutes (but doesn't have a "bad" smell, at least to me), but it dries pretty quickly and the smell goes away. Thanks to Equalizer, my 7ish year old carpet still looks like new despite the numerous fosters and permanent residents here and the, errrr, unfortunate mishaps (pee, poo, puke, blood, or a combination of these). However, I can only imagine what the UNDERside of my carpets look like. I'm afraid when we take it up (which will hopefully be soon), we'll have to haul it away in the middle of the night out of shame. It'll probably look like refuse from a crime scene or a wh*re house. Oh well, the top still looks good. :oops: Quote
