White vinegar, brilliant for smells!:heartpulsSpoiling my two baby girls with love - it's free and it's fun!:heartpuls
I'm not very good at succinct. Why say something in 10 words when 100 will do?

For anything washable I would use biological washing liquid on a low temperature setting. For other things I've carefully wiped with cool soapy water (I use Ecover w/up liquid). It does take a while, one of my little dears decided to go on a pair of fur lined suede boots. That took a while.
Vinegar is also good (I've used this on non leather handbags) but sparingly using soapy water has always worked for me.
You can add a few drops of essential oil to give the water a gentle perfume if you want to.0 -
I bought a smaller bottle of this below from Pets At Home a couple of years ago and it has just ran out.
I need to buy some more so I am glad I saw your post as you reminded me to get another bottle.
It leaves a slight smell which doesn't last long, smells a bit like those vinyl toy bones you buy for the dog.

If the items can go in the washing machine, that's the easiest way to use vinegar. Put some in the softener compartment - I just half fill it!

I second this...:cool:C.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten."l! ilyë yantë ranya nar vanwë"0 -
For things that can't be washed, a thick layer of bicarb, left to work for a number of hours before being brushed or vaccuumed works for pee smells!Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0
