Cleaning up after pets
I have a cat and have read that biological cleaner should be used to clean up accidents, so it removes the scent and discourages anything on that spot again. What do others use? I'm not keen on paying out for a specialist pet cleaner, was thinking of a box of bio-washing powder, and using a few tablespoons per half bucket…

I can't imagine a few weeks either…
