I tried to kill us yesterday...

I've done it before, I'll do it again! I don't hang around it while its working tho.

Might've damaged a roach or 2 - what's the problem with that?

If you used just bleach and not ammonia, that's ok. But mixing bleach and ammonia in any fashion is deadly. I've noticed that cat pee can smell like ammonia at times. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

cat urine CONTAINS ammonia
it doesnt just smell like it - it IS it

the kitchen is pretty well ventilated, the fans were on and the windows were open. The smell cleared pretty quickly - so even though we're still feeling some after effects - burning eyes and smelling the stuff - I think we're okay - THIS time.

Absolutely! Why not let the product work for itself to get clean? I knew exactly what I was doing. Left me with hardly any work to do to finish up.

I kid you not when I say they were encrusted!

And that fizz is non toxic as well. I had a friend that always used Pinesol, both for animal and kid urine, but I believe it was you that warned about not using products that end in -sol because of their chemical compounds.Pine scented urine is not nice, either. I also like oxiclean type products. I get a store brand, It scrubs things up and is not so toxic. I used to tend to either Simple Green, with chlorophyl, or orange oil based cleaners. Now I use Shaklee Basic H2, or Basic G, or both. The H is non toxic, G is not so non toxic, but is still better than some of the other cleaners.

Yup--that was me with a discussion about the dangers of many household cleaners especially ones with -sol at the end...many of those products contain chemicals that are extremely toxic to pets, especially to cats.

I remember that too and now I worry about my client's cat when the upstairs neighbor just dumps pinesol out her door - guess where it drips?

Hey - I got lots of nice fizzies from the combination! I also put it in a room where no cats are, but maybe a few roaches - maybe I got a few of them...

Just bleach and cat pee... yeah - cat pee - think about it....

well, no cat contributions - yet...

need to clean off the drips from tonights dinner

ya think?

how are you two feeling today? If you are still feeling a little funny you should get checked out by a doctor. My clients daughter poisoned herself with bleach just opening the bottle up to wash some clothes. I ended up taking her to emerg. turns out she had burned her throat with the fumes.

We're feeling fine, there was kind of a linger in the eyes yesterday, but its gone today.

Well, in part its territory, in part its 25 cats, and maybe we could be a trifle better with the boxes...?

Wow, 25 little critters huh? I would say the boxes probably need almost constant cleaning. My sister used to be terrible about her cat boxes. Once one of her cats peed on a box of cookbooks in protest. I think she has been doing a bit better job since then.

It's a territorial thing. I've caught a couple of them doing it . Timus pees on the stove, then Scamp decides to cover Timus' mark, then Timus marks it again and before too long - we've got burners that don't work, and icky smells coming up when we cook. We try to clean it, but they just mark it again.

We got something called a Scat Mat at one point - if they step on it they get a zap about like a static electric charge and, believe me, they LEAVE. Sassy stepped on it once and cussed like a sailor and she's SUPPOSED to be a Lady Cat. It worked well enough til some member of the feline brigade nuked the controller and it was never the same after that. They're about $80 and a replacement isn't in the budget just now.

Nasty as this might sound I'd rather have them pee on the stove than my BED - I've found some "land mines" the hard way. Never fails that on a night when I'm exhausted and REALLY craving my bed - SOMEBODY leaves me a present! I have Elic check for me now cause she can see & I can't see that well

Don't you just love being cussed out by a cat?

I have been left a present by the cat before. I once even was so tired I did not even turn on the light. I just crawled into bed. I woke up smelling something nasty. Good thing I did not roll in it.

P.S. If you can clean THAT mess up, you're ready to come back to WORK.

AHEM.

But it was hardly any work at all, I let "nature" do the job!
