A Puppy Trainer's Dream Remedy

Puppies are so precious, aren't they? (I miss my little Leo!)

As for puppy training, well, that's often not so cute (or clean, or fragrant). If you're in the middle of puppy training, here's a natural remedy to cleaning up "doggie disasters"on the carpet, courtesy of the Gorgeously Green Sophie Uliano:

Fill a bucket with really hot water. Add 1 cup of white vinegar and one cup of borax. Submerge a rag or sponge and without wringing it dry, clean up the urine. When the spot is dry, add 20 drops of lavender essential oil to one cup of baking soda. Sprinkle the soda over the stain, leave for 20 minutes and then vacuum.

Pretty simple, right? Your carpet will love you, and your puppy will be safe from toxic chemicals! And the best part is that I bet you can use this for all types of carpet disasters, not just puppy training accidents. If anyone tries this, please let me know how it works.

What types of natural products do you use with your pets? Post a comment and share!
