Cat spray smell
 

I just saw this on a forum- thought someone might need it "Yes, but thankfully I have an AWESOME cleaner called FIZZION. I get it from ebay. It takes the smell and stain away permanently and doesn't discolor anything. I learned about it from the 'my cat from hell' show."

and does anyone have any ideas on odor control for garbage cans? I keep looking for Fabreze stick on's they advertise but never find them.

I use Glad 13 gallon bags with odor control. They seem to do the trick. And I add a bit of baking soda to the bottom of the can itself. Of course I rinse the old stiff out first.

I have done that too and still have odor. I hate putting peelings and such down the sink so I put them out in the garage garbage can, not the kitchen one. Still have odor problems anyway. maybe it's my nose!! I have a nice round tall can from Bed,Bath and Beyond. I'm about to take it outside and wash it out again and dry in the sun-before it rains again!

Try OdoBan from SAMs or Costco

ive used Mr clean (blue liquid kind) -works for me and i have a cat. I used it in the laundry when i had multiple cats and one would oops on a towel. you can compost your peelings, and make compost for your flowerbeds if you dont have a garden. Keeps it out of the garbage can. Another way to get rid of peelings, is to grind them up in a food processor, add water to thin liquid out and then dump down the toilet.

I have used Mr Clean on my dogs when they go skunked and it worked pretty well.

I use OdoBan, too. I even use it in my laundry.

Odormute is a good product. Order from the internet.

Cat urine smell
 

I swear by SCOE 10X
I order it from the internet, and it's pricey, but eliminates urine & feces, gas & fuel, vomit, garbage, smoke and skunk odors.

Chasing Hawk, I really want to know, what do you do with the "old stiff" after you rinse him out? LOL

I found Nature's Miracle is really good in eliminating cat/dog odors. It can be purchased at pet stores, and also comes in a spray bottle. Great for concrete. A bit pricey, but works wonders.

I keep a stay can of Lysol, the orange can, by my garbage can in the garage. It helps a lot especially when I spray it right on the plastic, kills the nasty fly eggs and keeps them from returning. And I use a liquid disinfectant to wash it out with after the garbage man comes, the two combined seem to keep the smell down in the plastic

I second the vote for SCOE 10X. Works wonders!

I swear my Nature's Miracle .. I buy it at the pet supermarket

To stop odor in the trash I put the yucky stuff in a ziplock bag and then toss. I use the odor control trash bags too.

I wash my garbage cans out on a weekly basis big ones included. I hit them with bleach and hot water. If I need to in between, then I do. I can't stand the smell. We also have recycle dumpsters that get set on the curb every other week. I do the same to them because it isn't unusual for people to stop and throw their trash from the drive thrus into them and I have an old mop to scrub the dumpsters out. That isn't a big deal to me because at least it doesn't end up on the roadway or street. Just wish they would use the right one. My kitchen garbage can is in the utility closet. Can't stand them sitting open in the kitchen while eating. GROSSSSSSS! Can't use the deodorizing bags because they smell worse and just add to the smell. useless in my opinion. After I've cleaned and dried them, I throw about a handful of baking soda into the bottom and then put in another new bag. I do this procedure on all the garbage containers, including the ones through out the rest of the house. Works for me.

thanks a lot!!

Due to last night's ordeal with our dog getting skunked and running back into the house (onto carpeting) to 'rub off the smell' -- OMG! I called the animal hospital and they advised to mix 1 qt. Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/4 c. baking soda, and 2-3 T. dishwashing soap (Ivory), put it on him and wait 5-10 minutes (I waited 5). Did this in the bathtub using an old washrag. Then, I rinsed him off and dried him off with old towels. That worked. He spent the night in his crate in the entry way. Then, we used Nature's Miracle on the carpet along with leaving baking soda on it all around overnight to be vacuumed this morning. I still smell the carpet in some areas. I understand NM has a carpet shampoo for odors and will go get that this morning. We have a dozen people coming over this evening. How convenient! I hope this goes away in time!! We immediately shut all room doors and our bedroom door to keep the odor out. Kept the windows closed too (stunk outside). We could still smell it. I kept a sheet over my face all night; my husband used Vick's Vapo-Rub below his nose a few times to overcome the odor so he could sleep. We'd used every scented candle we had in the house, had A/C running, fans/vents, whatever. Used some air freshener too. What a horrible night!!
This morning, first thing our dog did was go outside to check under the deck....Did he learn his lesson? I wonder....And did that skunk spray because 'she' has babies under there, as it's never happened before? I sure hope not! Anyone with remedy ideas, please advise!

Try What Odor. You can order it from what odor.com. It really works.

thanks again.

I'd buy new cans before I did that every week. That's a lot of work for garbage. LOL

I love OdoBan.
Use it on the cat litter box.
Wal-Mart has it occasionally.

Around here they say to use tomato juice to bath a dog in when they have encountered a skunk. None of my dogs had that experience.
