    Once a week i put an egg cup full of bleach in a watering can and water my slabs with it where the dogs wee and pooh. I dont let the dogs out until its dry (doesnt take long).

    Thanks!

    Going to order some of that Odourfresh when we get paid, for now may try the vinegar or washing powder :)

  • I just use biological washing powder. It is safe for the pets, smells nice and pretty cheap. Just a big bucket full and a good scrub with a yard brush!
    Im quite liberal though so I now have a very white looking dog run!LOL:D

    Hmmm! Just clicked on the Mistral site to check if the cinnamon fragrence is apple/cinnamon or cinnamon/apple and it appears to have disappeared :(. Hope it's still available.

    Meant to say earlier that we have tried the bubblegum, cherry and lavender in the kennels and the lavender was definately the best. Customers always comment on how nice it smells when they bring their dogs into the kennel block. You can also put it in the wash when washing their bedding. We also put a dilution in a spray bottle and use as an air freshener or to mist over the carpets.

    Very interested in this thread. Apologies for asking a follow-up question. Do any of these cleaners put your dogs off from going back to the same spot to pee? The reason I'm asking is that my lab always pees in the same small area (on gravel) and even though I'd like to give it a good clean I want to ensure he carries on using the same area.

    It puts my one dog off. She runs round like a headless chicken for a few minutes trying to sniff the scent but as she is desperate she does it anyway wherever. She still tends to wee up the one corner scent or not.

    My other dog it doesnt bother her, she just wees where she usually does scent or not. She doesnt sniff round first.

    I'm just googling 'stalosan' - it seems quite good, but it's a powder you sprinkle onto a wet area to disinfect it. Looks good so far, but again not that o/s I suppose.

    Found this thread http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=49519

    It sounds pet friendly and possibly cheaper than Jeyes.



    Yey that was my post! :D:D

    That stuff is brilliant. You dilute it but loads so last ages. I use this on the dog area and rinse down with water. smells great too :)

    I got some a few weeks ago, my sister bought it but I think she got it from Amazon or e bay, she's also used it in her carpet cleaner and says the carpets came up brilliantly.

    Does anybody know if you can buy the Odourfresh from a shop rather than online? The postage prices are really high :eek:
