A tip for those with doggy smells, or any other smells for that matter.....

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

u need this. 1 drop on a tissue every day, keeps the whole house smell free, 'tis nothing short of amazing, I have no idea why it isn't more widely available here, (is american).

Red Clover Tea is my favoutite, but the linen one is new and sounds nice, the baby one is vile and the citrus very strong but nice.

Another fab thing is to put a few drops on a cotton wool ball and put it in your hoover, then when you hoover lovely smell is disributed everywhere. Plus if you have clothes or dog blankets that still whiff after a wash you can put a couple of drops on a duster and pop it in with the clothes in the tumble dryer or just add a couple of drops to your detergent when washing. Also great in the bathroom and car.

I only found about it because I have rats too, it seems to only be available from two rat shops here, whilst in the US it is used everywhere, odd.

God, sorry about the u.

Was from a bad cut and paste job.

Have ordered the red clover and the linen so will let you know what that is like too. We don't have rats but two lurchers and the room they sleep can be very smelly first thing in the morning.

Love the layout of that website too, who knew there were some many rat shopping opportunities.

I've ordered some too - I quite like the smell of my hounds, but also live in fear that my nose has got too used to it, and actually my house reeks like a kennel, despite my constant hoovering and overcompensating with Yankee tart burners.

Have ordered the linen one too, so it will have the secondary benefit of making the house smell tidier.

Ah - I have some of that... somewhere... will have to dig it out. It might have gone up to the loft with the rat stuff before we brought the pup home.

WTWTW - how do you manage with a pup AND rats?

I have said no more rats until the pup is adult.

One of our criteria for the timing to get a pup was when the rats were either gone or cage-bound geriatric. But when our last rat was pts in February dd was all for getting more rats immediately and putting the pup off for another year or so.

Than you for this, we have old stinky carpet and stinky dog. Just bathed the dog and ordered the linen one.
