Although this isn't what we talked about, there's this:

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. Heard the one about the guy who walked into a bar
with an alligator?
At Johnny's Saloon in Orange County, it was more than a joke early Saturday
when a man arrived with his 3-foot pet gator on a leash.

By the time police and animal control officers arrived at Johnny's, the
gator was in the man's vehicle in the parking lot. Officers followed him
home, where another alligator was found, animal control spokesman Ryan
Drabek said.

Both alligators were impounded and were being held Wednesday pending an
investigation by the Department of Fish and Game, Drabek said.

Alligators are not native to California and it is illegal to keep them as
pets.

A woman who answered the telephone at Johnny's Wednesday night declined to
comment.

I have enough trouble getting pet (dog/cat) "stains" and odors out of
carpetting. One wonders what product one uses to clean alligator pee/shit
from car upholstery?

Tammy.

Plain white vinegar works GREAT for pet "accidents".

Personally, we got rid of all carpet years ago on the advice of mom's
pulmonologist. The Doctor said that wall to wall carpeting was one of
the worst ideas modern man ever had.

And I agree with him.

But doesn't it also have a bleaching effect?

I hear ya. I have carpet in half of the house (3 bedrooms and hallway).
The remainder of the house (1.5 bathrooms, large family room, living room,
and kitchen/dining room) are not carpeted. When I can afford to re-do the
floors in that part, I'll do so. W-t-W carpeting is a PITA.

I've got linoleum, vinyl tile, wtw carpet, wood, slate and fieldstone, and
tile flooring. And let me tell you/me, nothing's worse than stepping off
warm carpet onto cold tile or the rest!!! Even grown men like me can ballet
tip-toe to the toilet! Something beach BUM!!! SoKalians wouldn't
understand.

in the house year-round :-)

Om specifically said plain white vinegar. Do you use cider vinegar for pet
accidents, Cyberkitty?

Depends on the fabric. I never had a problem with it (yet).

It is indeed! Having all tile or linoleum floors cuts the dust and cuts
cleaning time to a fraction of what it was.

That is what area rugs are for. :-)

MUCH easier to keep clean! You can take them outside and hose them down
on a line.

Vinegar can be used to help set colors. It's very effective on
fabrics that have white and bold colored stripes to keep the colors
from bleeding together.

potential bleaching!

White vinegar in general is a great cleaning agent, I always have a coupla

Unfortunately throwing cider vinegar on the cybercrone won't melt her but
that's not for want of trying...

When I'm washing whites I throw a cup or so into the machine, it's much less
wear - and - tear on stuff than bleach is...

Yes, I know she did. This is why I mentioned that cider vinegar does not
bleach.

I have indeed. Most recently, though, I used it on carpet in the mud room
that had become musty from old dampness. The carpet is brown, and the
vinegar did not lighten it.

Tumbleweeds are often used as christmas trees at our local feed stores.
<g>

We get some fall colors, but nowhere near what you get up North!

Yeah, it's been in the 30's at night the last couple of days, (unsually
cool for fall weather), but it's in the mid 70's during the day.

Perfect gardening weather!

It might restore the carpet to it's original color. <g>

At least it WILL neutralize the urine, promise!

Mom's respiratory therapist told me to clean her oxygen tubing and
nebulizer with vinegar as it evaporated better and was less caustic.
It's a good alternate disinfectant to bleach.

But for pet urine, it's an actual chemical reaction. Urine is ammonia
(high pH-basic) so the acid nature of vinegar actually neutralizes it.
By-products are usually CO2 and H2O.

Keylimes at the grossery store. <g>

Winter crops are leafy greens, not root crops.

Chard, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.
They are frost resistant. I've had them survive at 10 degrees F.
They actually looked frozen, but thawed without wilting.

Omelet,

What? Keylime pies won't grow in TX?!? <VBG>

I think year round we can grow mushrooms (indoors/climate controlled) year
round. Keylime pies seasonally.<Another VBG> OH, and the dreaded lima
beans. ICK!
