They have special needs and need extra patience from us.

Frequent pet accidents can be trying along with the smells, cat odors and dog odors.

Just one look at their face tells you and they know that they have done something wrong.

If possible, when you are going to be gone longer than expected have people look in on them during the day.

During this challenging time it is especially important to help your pet’s immune system.

When the home environment is clean – your pet has more energy

It is necessary for your pet’s health that germs are eliminated, odors are reduced, and the pet bed, carpet, and furniture smells fresh and clean.

The alternative to pet cleaning and pet accidents is to sanitize your pet’s environment and use the UV-C Sanitizing Bed and Furniture Vacuum. The vacuum uses UV-C Sanitizing to kill germs and leave a clean fresh household for your and your loved ones.

Testimonial:

“As the former owner of Loving Spoonful (Seattle’s first Home Pet and Plant Care Business) I found these tips helpful. I encountered more than most, my share of pet accidents during the course of ownership.”  Darielle

UV-C Sanitizing gives you peace of mind that your special ones are in a household where the invisible pet odors are taken care of with less effort on your part.

Pets are a part of our home and the Holidays are no exception.
Loud music, changed feeding schedules, moved litter boxes, missed walks and eating small toys all contribute to Pet Accidents.

We are so pleased to have people over to visit, then we invite them to the living room.  A strong smell – enough to make your eyes water and then greets you.
Then we think,  “Oh darn, bad dog or cat!”.

Mostly we are disgraced, we wanted everything to be perfect and we know it wasn’t the dog or cat’s fault.

After cleaning up a dog or cat soiled accident,  further blot the area with a combination of vinegar and water.
It will help the smell, or use Nature’s Miracle Odor Formula to help the surface smell.

But to Really Kill Germs, I Recommend UV-C or Ultraviolet Light for Pet Accidents

The UV-C Sanitizing Wand and Sanitizing Furniture & Bed Vacuum kills the germs and bacteria that cause the unpleasant smells clinging in the air. A clean smelling room makes our Holidays more pleasant once again.

Be patient and extra-loving as pets have no idea what is going on.  Making them feel safe goes a long way to heading off more pet accidents. As a former owner of a home plant and pet care business I know this first-hand.

You’re considering the purchase of a newly-built home and you’re impressed with that ‘new house smell’ when you walk in the front door.

Don’t be:  that smell comes from chemicals in the products used to build, insulate, paint, and furnish the home.  Some of the chemicals are even pretty nasty when they get into the air.  Many home building materials contain what are called VOCs – volatile organic compounds – that start out as liquid but turn to gas at room temperature. If they’re in a home designed and built to be nearly airtight and energy super-efficient, the VOCs stay and do their damage.

The ‘off-gassing’ – the release of the gases in to a room – begins as soon as the product is exposed to air, and it can continue indefinitely.

More Reasons Why Your Home May Be Toxic

Spray-in foam wall and ceiling insulation, for instance, has been implicated in (mostly anecdotal) reports of enhanced chemical sensitivity and neurological disorders two years or more after installation, even though the vast majority of the polyurethane in them evaporates and disperses within hours.  But some consultants don’t allow the use of any foam insulation in their clients’ homes.

Even low- or no-VOC wall paint contains some volatile compounds (the government says the ‘no’ in ‘no-VOC’ doesn’t really mean ‘no’).  Most of them evaporate and disperse within hours, but some painting experts say it can take as long as a month for the paint to cure to a dry, durable surface.

Products made with formaldehyde will release the gas into the air

Some flooring and many cabinets and counters, either built in or brought in, are constructed with what’s called medium density fiber board that is made of wood scraps held together with resins.  It is sold as an alternative to solid wood and plywood, but the resins usually contain formaldehyde.  The fiber board, and similar products referred to as press board and chip board, is usually covered with veneer or vinyl that reduces the formaldehyde off-gassing, but the Minnesota Department of Health says, “Products made with formaldehyde will release the gas into the air.”

The EPA states the most common symptoms of exposure are irritation of the eye, nose and throat, coughing, headaches, and dizziness.  The EPA further states that the effects of long-term exposure to low levels of formaldehyde are not well known, though longer-term exposure to high levels of the chemical has been shown to cause cancer.

Is household furniture harmless?

Furniture cannot be considered harmless.  The frames of some chairs and sofas are made of medium density fiberboard, and upholstery used in the manufacture of furniture could contain formaldehyde and other compounds (perfluorooctanoic acid, a likely carcinogen, according to the EPA) to resist stains and water.  Fabrics could have several other chemicals, including benzidine, a known carginogen, in the dye.  And older furniture could contain polyurethane foam with chemicals  –polybrominated diphenyl ethers  – that are considered so harmful they have been banned in California.  Vinyl chloride, also used in the making  of some furniture, is listed by the EPA as a carcinogen that can cause liver damage.

How toxic is carpeting?

Carpeting consists of mostly synthetic fiber, a couple of layers of thermoplastic polymer backing, and a latex adhesive to hold it together.   The good news:  Allergy Consumer Review says carpet and rug manufacturers have begun, at the instigation of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a program to produce lower-emission carpeting and adhesives.

What Can You Do To Reduce the Risks of Toxins?

As Consumers you can do the following:

• Study Labels to find the products that pose the fewest risks and have the fewest harmful effects
• Invest in an air purifier and other devices to remove pollutants from  the air
• Provide plenty of ventilation with open windows and fans
