I feel like that's on you for not having carpeted walls.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 58 points 4 days ago

I do, but unfortunately the dog just refuses to shit on the wall

[-] four@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 days ago

Cats, however, have no issues puking up there

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 11 points 3 days ago

I haven't seen scumbag Steve in years!

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 79 points 4 days ago

Yes, I may have just cleaned cat puke off my carpet

Yes, "cat" "puke"

Say what you want to say, Susan

You shit on the davenport-

Goddammit Susan

- and forced me to clean it

It's a fucking couch, Susan.

Get yourself some oxygen bleach powder. Mix a bit in to warm water, mix until dissolved, and pour it on. Works extremely well (even for kibble-coloured barf) and you make only as much as you need. Apply it however you want. (I pour.)

OP said in another thread that he likes to get drunk and piss on the floor.

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

So, they spray downwards?

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago

But that’s a bottle of Resolve: Pet Expert, not Resolve; Bender.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

They like pissing on the floor?

[-] BigBrownDog@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

I'm not here to judge, just spread the truth.

Uh, where? I actually looked through a week of his post history and couldn't find anything.

[-] BigBrownDog@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Why on Earth would you directly message me and tell me that you are OP's other account and you are just replying with a different account to throw people off of the fact that you piss on carpets for fun? Why would you do that?!

I can only assume you're trolling, I never DM'd you.

[-] BigBrownDog@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

That's exactly what you said you would say in the DM.

Unscrew and remove the spray head. Check the straw; it’s usually curved, and you want it to be curving towards the front so that the end can pick up liquid it the lower (front) corner of the bottle when you tilt it forward. If it’s not pointing forward, you can usually turn it in its socket.

[-] el_muerte@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

I've found countless spray bottles where the straw goes straight down and ends 10-15mm above even the raised hump in the middle of the bottom.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah that's the worst!

[-] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Corpos really do everything to increase sales...

[-] problembasedperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I hate this because most people can't be bothered to learn the most basic of things. Life is just easier if you are observant, curious and resolute: Why it doesn't spray downwards? What does the spray head does? How it pumps liquids up? Can we reorient the siphon? Fixed!

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 28 points 4 days ago

I think the point of the meme is that this could easily be baked into the design of the bottle to begin with.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

And it already is with other products, e.g. Tilex, which has a pickup tube moulded into the side wall of the bottle itself and runs from the very lowermost front corner up to the spray nozzle. Surely this is a commodity package that any manufacturer could buy, but they mostly don't because I'm sure it costs two cents more per unit.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Get out of here with yourself rational thinking. We're criticizing the masses to make ourselves feel intellectually superior.

[-] SunlessGameStudios@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

We spent 100$s of dollars on spot shot, only to discover it was peroxide in a spray-can.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

I have an elderly cat, and I share your aggravation. I stop using bottles when they're like 1/4 full. When I've used up enough of the new bottle, I pour the old stuff in.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 days ago

I can't help but think this has got to be an intentionally bad design decision. I'd imagine most people stop using the bottles when they're 1/4 full but then just throw them away, allowing the company to sell more bottles.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

All I know is there are spray devices in existence that work upside down. Why didn't they use one?

Skill issue.

[-] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 11 points 4 days ago

While not spot/stain remover, I highly recommend Odoban & KennelFresh for dealing with organic based odor control and cleaning. I work in training/daycare/boarding/grooming/rescue. Shit happens, those two don’t just mask, they eliminate.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago

Yes! I have big, smelly dogs and also have had great luck with Thornell L.O.E. for laundry. I bought a gallon for $60 and it's enough for about 250 big washer loads of gross smelling pet stuff.

For laundry, you may actually want to consider laundry sanitizer. It’s not a cure-all for pet smell, but it definitely eliminates the “this got pooped on, and will never smell clean again” problem. Laundry sanitizer goes in the rinse cycle (your machine’s “fabric softener” cup), and sanitizes the fabric after it has been cleaned by the detergent.

Laundry sanitizer is primarily used by healthcare workers, who regularly come home with piss, shit, vomit, communicable disease contaminants, etc all over their scrubs. Because regular laundry detergent cleans soils, but doesn’t actually kill biological contaminants. And pet smell is at least partially caused by mold, mildew, bacteria, etc built up over time.

I always thought my feet always smelled bad. No amount of scrubbing helped. My feet went in shoes, and immediately smelled bad. After I started using laundry sanitizer, I realized my socks simply weren’t getting sanitized in the washer, so they’d immediately start to stink whenever they got sweaty. Sanitizer fixed my foot funk basically overnight, and now I use it for anything that may be in contact with sweaty or damp areas regularly. Bed sheets in the summertime, socks, underwear, denim, dog beds, towels, undershirts, etc… You’d be surprised how long your clothes will stay fresh when they don’t immediately start smelling sweaty.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 4 days ago

You can make the spray head straw longer and loop back to the top of the bottle so it works while upside down. This would, however, make it only work while upside down.

[-] Widdershins@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

You can save yourself time and materials by making the spray head straw significantly shorter

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

If you have a more flexible straw with a small piece of metal as a weight on the end it works in any orientation.

[-] farngis_mcgiles@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

grab some zep spray bottles they are fantastic.

[-] oppy1984@lemdro.id 5 points 4 days ago

Second on the Zep's bottles. In my early 20's I cleaned aircraft for a living and used all Zep's products, those bottles worked no matter what angle you held them at.

Also if you're cleaning windows use Zep's window cleaner, spray on, wait 3 minutes and wipe off. You've windows will be clean and streak free with minimal effort.

For windows, just use Dawn dish soap. That’s what professional window cleaners use. They’re not paying out the nose for special cleaner. They’re just squirting some Dawn into a bucket, filling it with hot water, and using that. It cuts grease like nothing else, so it doesn’t leave streaks when you squeegee it off.

Also, for things that are stuck, an old trick is to use steel wool. Glass is (or at least should be) harder than steel, so it shouldn’t scratch as long as you’re gentle. It’s nice for when things need to be scraped off.

[-] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 2 days ago

For home and auto, yes this is a great way to clean windows. I use Zep's simply because I have experience with it, and I only buy one can every two years, it's a small expense but worth it to me.

I had to use Zep's when cleaning aircraft windows since 1) that was what was provided to me, 2) commercial and corporate jet windows have to be perfectly clear during a flight since there's no pulling over to squeegee the cockpit window if the cleaning crew messed up.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 3 days ago

It is neat that they have a bypass for the straw if you are holding it upside down. I thought that was clever the first time I noticed it.

Shame they dont last forever. But a couple years is usually pretty good.

[-] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah that is a neat feature, and very useful.
