I need to reduce the pet-dander in our house. Tried shampoos for the pets & carpet sprays. I need fresh air!?

Some options:


1) Lots of $200 HEPA filters in 7 rooms ($1400)


2) Leave the windows cracked open a bit ($100/mo., we live in Wisconsin)


3) Run the furnace blower 24/7 (not the greatest filter, but works the best of the options thus far... need a better filter and what will happen to the blower motor in a few months?=$$$$)


4) Heat %26amp; Air exchanger ($2000)


5) Whole house HEPA filter ($1200)


6) Kill the cat: $0, but end up divorced (divorce=$10,000-20,000)





Please help!

We have several of these filters. They flow lots of air on high and they are only about $80. We found them in Lowes stores, or here is a link to buy online, but option 6 is still your best choice.

Get rid of your pet. Pets are one of the biggest waste of resources in the US. A major cause of pollution because of their waste. And the production of per food.
X, I owned two of the most lovable critters God ever created. One was a Golden Retriever, and the other a Shizu. They lived together and harmoniously with us for all of there lives, but - sad to say - they made our home smell like the city zoo. We tried everything, but nothing worked. Hey, how about the exhaust from your vacuum cleaner? ';Putrid';, hardly describes the stench. We had to buy a new one because nothing we did could eliminate the odor that our vacuum cleaner threw out.


Our gorgeous dogs eventually died. Pets - I'm refering to cats too - eventually leave us you know, and the conclusions my wife and I have come to are: 1. no more pets, 2. our home no longer stinks, and 3. our sons asthma has spontaneously disappeared. Yeah, mine too. The animal dander (dog hair) besides being one heck of a nuisance is bad for your health. Good luck to you with your efforts to clean up your home. Love your pets, and when they depart from this world it will be then when your abode will become more livable. Mike

Is your carpet fresh or could it use a good shampooing and deodorizing?

I use the Carpet Fresh Deodorizer for people with pets.








Quite fresh.





But that's only for the carpet in the basement. Upstairs is hardwood.





Yeah, I know what chur talking about. I'm just not trying to go there.Is your carpet fresh or could it use a good shampooing and deodorizing?
just had company over for a party, so it's time to shampoo them again! (it's light green, so EVERYTHING shows)





as for the other carpet...it's always fresh n clean!! (heehee)Is your carpet fresh or could it use a good shampooing and deodorizing?
It could use a good shampooing and deodorizing
No her's was not! Teach me to troll @ closing time.

Fresh & Clean Oatmeal & Baking Soda Dog Shampoo?

I've been trying to find a good dog shampoo for my dogs. I've been trying different brands for the last several months because I can't find anything that smells good and will make my cocker's hair feel softer. Someone recommended oatmeal %26amp; baking soda shampoos- I was wondering what recommendations you guys might have?Fresh %26amp; Clean Oatmeal %26amp; Baking Soda Dog Shampoo?
actually that is what we use..and I love it..it has a pleasant odor that really lasts... and the coat gets super white and conditionedFresh %26amp; Clean Oatmeal %26amp; Baking Soda Dog Shampoo?
go to a grooming shop or better yet.. go to a dog show and hang out at the cocker ring,, speak with exhibitors and breeders, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT WORKS BEST








*** cocker spaniel breeders/exhibitors know all the best shampoos /conditioner for their breed... go to a SHOW
I like that one.





LaPooch is good, too. Has a strong, long-lasting scent and leave the hair feeling really nice. Costs a bit more, but I love it.





Is your groomer doing the work at your home? If not, why are they not giving your dog a proper bath? That should be part of the grooming process.
I work at a vets office and we always tell people that Oatmeal shampoo is your best option for a couple of reasons... It is more sensitive so it is less likely to cause your dog any skin allergies, it is moisturizing so it will not leave your dog flaky and it will make the coat soft, and lastly it isn't a strong scent so it shouldn't bother your pet--even if your pet has allergies to scents.





You can buy Oatmeal shampoo anywhere, it doesn't even have to be a name brand--Wal mart offers a vanilla scented oatmeal shampoo for dogs that has a very nice smell and works wonderfully!





Good luck!

Can landlords legally require shampooed carpet and a fresh paint job to receive a security deposit back?

check your lease. Most times the security deposit is only for oustanding damage like if you put a hole in the wall, but if it is in your lease you may be out of luck.


You'd also have to check your local state laws....every place is different so in your area it might be illegal even if it is in the lease.Can landlords legally require shampooed carpet and a fresh paint job to receive a security deposit back?
noCan landlords legally require shampooed carpet and a fresh paint job to receive a security deposit back?
Check your local or state laws. Stuff like this is always in there. In California, if the landlord does not return your security deposit in 21 days, he cannot contest how much of it he keeps. You get it all back.
If Its in the lease and you signed it! Yes





Normal wear and tear is not usually used to keep a deposit.
did you do a move-in form,,, if not ,, yes they can
I think that depends on the landlord/tenant act of where you live. I once had a landlord try that on me and I had only lived in the apartment two months as it was only meant to be a temporary move while I waited for my house to be available. Anyways, I went to the Landlord/Tenant Commission and filed a complaint with them and he had to pay all of my damage deposit back and this occurred within a couple weeks of my moving out, so didn't take long. The Landlord/Tenant Act says the damage deposit is only to cover damage beyond ';normal wear and tear.'; Cleaning of an apartment between tenants is the responsibility of the landlord as it is a normal cost of their doing business. Painting, carpet cleaning, cleaning of appliances are the responsibility of the landlord. Of course, most tenants will do reasonable cleaning such as the appliances and vacuuming of carpets and mopping of floors, but if there is carpet cleaning and painting to be done just to make the place fresh for the new tenants, that is the responsibility of the landlord. A damage deposit is only to cover damages in excess of ';normal wear and tear'; such as a hole in the wall, a cigarette burn in the carpet, a big stain in the carpet, etc. that weren't there when you moved in. That's all. Look into this where you live.
usualy landlords do not get to keep the security deposit for normal wear and tear (its mostly for excesive damage) but you should just double check your rental agreement





personaly I don't think the carpet shampoo sounds too unreasonable but I think him asking for you to repaint the place is pushing it
If you can't get out of it, I'd make sure you got furnished with copies of receipts, or could at least re-enter the apartment to make sure they're not just juxing you out of some money.





I've never had a refund problem before, but I've also never once had new carpet in an apartment-- and I've lived in some nice complexes.








You're right to be careful-- don't let them take you for a ride. Read your lease carefully, and consult the walk-thru you did when you moved in. If you didn't have brand new carpet then, then forget that fool.
Nope! He may be able to make you wash the carpets, but only if it is in the lease that you signed.





Find your Landlord-Tenant law in your state. You would be surprised what they are not allowed to do, but to it anyway!
Is normal wear and tear defined in the rental agreement?
nope - i'm a landlord - check the laws in your state, just put in landlord/tenant laws in a search. the tricky part to your question thoa, is, defining ';normal wear and tear';, in most cases, it comes down to the judge deciding what that means, not you or the landlord.
There may be something concerning this in your lease. I know one apartment I lived in I had to get the carpets cleaned, but all the others did it themselves.

Putting fresh aloe vera straight from the plant into shampoo?

my parents grow the plants at home and i wanted to know how to extract the good stuff out (never opened an aloe plant before) and into a shampoo that already has aloe so i can increase the concentation/potency of itPutting fresh aloe vera straight from the plant into shampoo?
U just cut a oitllt piece of it, take out a side of it and take the liquid in the inside and put it straight into ur shampoo!!





Good luck , I hope this helps!!Putting fresh aloe vera straight from the plant into shampoo?
Sounds like a great idea! Just cut it open and squeeze the aloe out .
sound goofy to me
Pluck the leaf, split it with a knife, then just rub it in your hair. I use it on my skin. You are probably wasting your money by buying a branded oproduct as all these shampoos contain vertually the same ingredients. Plus there is only a tiny amount of aloe in there any way. check the back of two bottles and see for yourself(largest quantities come 1st)
haha.. you sound smart using all those big words. =)





Of course it would be okay. And aloe is good for almost..anything. ESPECIALLY for your skin.

I need a shampoo with defrizzing, straightening, and keeps recently colored hair looking fresh. any ideas?

i have a problem with my hair frizzing in humidity, i straighten my hair every other day...and i just dyed my hair over a week ago.


i need a shampoo for all of that.





i know herbal essences has a shampoo for each of that...but i need it all in one.





any ideas??I need a shampoo with defrizzing, straightening, and keeps recently colored hair looking fresh. any ideas?
It's not the shampoo that keeps your hair straight. It's the heat protector you use. It's like when someone say they just bought a new Chi and it keeps their hair straight longer and they love it and blah, blah. Well, it's not the flat iron that keeps your hair straight either, it's the heat protector they sometimes send with the flat iron that keeps your hair straight. Find a good moisture blocker/heat protector and you'll have to experiment. I've heard the one Maxiglide sells is good, I've heard Chi sells good ones, and I've heard Sabino moisture block is good in that they all keep your hair straight for a longer period without reversion.





I use Wen cleansing conditioner and this keeps my hair frizz free and it is also supposed to keep your color from fading because it doesn't contain the harsh ingredients shampoos have that can strip the color.I need a shampoo with defrizzing, straightening, and keeps recently colored hair looking fresh. any ideas?
Control Freak by Tigi Bed Head. It's a green bottle and it works to straighten and prevent frizz. I haven't seen anything that says it's good for colored hair, but it keeps my color looking great. Then again, I also use Shimmering Lights once a week, but this shampoo is the best thing I've found. Get the conditioner, too.
Garnier Fructis products are pretty good but not with curly hair. I mean it depends on some people. But get a specific product of theirs that helps against frizz and like the leave-in conditioner if it doesn't make your hair greasy. Hope I helped.. :)))
screw shampoo and conditioners. it's all about what you use after the shower. get some biosilk silk therapy and some matrix color smart shine spray and your hair will be shiny and frizz free and color protected from the sun and everything else
aussie shampoos and conditioners are really good and moisterizing to keep your hair healthy from straightening it all the time

Anyone use Fresh n' Clean dog shampoo?

I use Fresh n' Cleans dog shampoo, the baking soda and oatmeal with aloe one. It smells wonderful and really gets them clean. My question is has anyone here used it and had any problems with drying? They also make a conditioner in the same kind but I have never tried it. I usually use a spray on conditioner. Love to hear anyones thoughts on these products or your favorites!! Thanks!! =0)Anyone use Fresh n' Clean dog shampoo?
My dogs are all house dogs.


I use the regular Fresh'nClean on my Border Collies and ShihTzu. I dilute the shampoo down half shampoo with half water. After sudsing and rinsing really well, I put one capful of vinegar into a quart pitcher of water and use this as a rinse.


Do not pour the vinegar over the dog's eyes.





I have no problems with this drying out the coat. I also use an air forced Metro Dryer to blow the water and shedding hair out of the coats. Their coats are really soft and smell pretty good! Diet also contributes to a healthy coat.


Never use human shampoo on a dog. Not the same pH.Anyone use Fresh n' Clean dog shampoo?
The vinegar rids all soap residue from the coat and returns the coat to it's natural pH. You can shampoo, rinse, condition, rinse, and use the vinegar diluted in water as a final rinse. The coat will not smell like easter eggs either! Report Abuse

Nope I use Jhonson ( human) shampoo. Dog shampoo really dries my dogs skin.
I have a inside Bichon and I use human shampoo never had any problems
yes..once...now look at me..i cant do a thing with my hair
yeah this shampoo really dried out my husky's fur, he even lost quite a bit of hair right after that but he wasn't shedding at the time. i really didn't like it
