But don't use them on real leather cos it takes off the protective layer of the leather taking the colour as well !!
 
Always remember with anything being tried for the first time to test on  a place thats not noticable.
 
Please help.
lasst week my cat got very ill, and on the emergency trip to the vets the little fella peed in the car, not his fault but i cant get rid of the smell its not nice.

Any ideas?
 
had a look but my stain book only says .... sponge with warm water then use a carpet shampoo then when dry sponge with ammonia solution (1.5ml ammonia to 500ml cold water)
Don't know if it works  :-/
 
If your cat or dog has been sick on your carpet, a quick squirt from a soda syphon will help get rid of the smell, once you have cleaned it up. dont know if it works on urine though.
 
Had a neighbouring tom cat that used to sometimes sneak into my kitchen when the back door was open and he would sometimes leave a little scent on my floor. I used to cut an onion in half and rub it over the carpet/lino. It would reduce the smell a bit and didn't smell particularly oniony. (used to sprinkle salt on the carpet first, leave for a few minutes, sponge off with warm water then rub with raw onion)
 
Do your bit for the enviroment by recycling your christmas cards birthday cards etc.
Turn them into gift tags. It saves a fortune they are personal and unusual.
 
try this page, might be as simple as using baking soda

Has anyone got any tips on how to remove permanant marker from kitchen floor tiles or painted walls or microwaves? I have a very talented 3 year old boy who gets creative in all the wrong ways!! and dont say keep the pen away from him it was well away only thing is hes very good at hide and seek.
 
give the old man some Viagra, with a nice stiff arm, place a hoover on the end of hit with all the backward a forward movement, you'll get a nice vacummed carpet!!!!!!!!
 
for nice windows use windowlene the liquid clear bottle, and kitchen roll works for me, but dont do it when sun shinning on em or they will streak!!!

I also have the same problem or did and i used vinegar on the stuff.Brought it off but the cat was always licking the place where i did it
 
When cleaning windows clean the inside with vertical strokes and the outside with horizontal strokes..... that way you will know whether the streaky bit is on the inside or the outside......and I use methylated spirits
 
Of you've got a particularly greasy window (kids hands are good at this) it may take a couple of goes before you get it clean properly. Grease streaks, even if you think you've got it all off. I hate cleaning mirrors and windows.
