Stinky Feet

 Princess Emma is the star around here....all the time.  I mean gosh, she has a real crown and everything.  But there is a price to pay for all that wonderful sparkling royalty.  And for her it is those stinky feet. 

I know I should not tell y'all about them.  I mean some of you may be able to smell them from here.  But even a Princess has to live with the day to day problems that so many of have to live with.  And body odor happens to lurk around her toes with a vengeance. 



Well we decided to give a funky lil silver thing-a-migigy a try.  It was making us wonder of our sanity...but hey we are Crazed here  any way.  De Odor Works is the lil thing we were looking at.  It is made from medical grade stainless steel and is amazingly light weight.  Princess Emma had some doubts as what to do with it.  But we reassured her all she would have to do is stick her feet into some warm water.  That she was okay with.  I do wanna give kuddos to College Girl.  As she did the pre sniff test of the feet of Princess Emma.  OH MY GOODNESS!  They were bad.  Just ask her.  Well we took this lil De Odor Works and went to work with it.

 We just rinsed her right foot with warm water.  No soap or  anything.  30 seconds of good clean water. 

The left foot was rinsed with warm water for 30 seconds also.  But we also rubbed the foot well with the stainless steel De Odor Works stylist.  This was a fun lil test to do for the review.  Princess Emma has ticklish feet!

 Then came the brave sniff test by College Girl. 

Sniffing the right foot.

And then sniffing the left foot.

I have to say, much to all of our surprise it worked.  Yeah, it took the odor from her left foot.  Now College Girl has taken off with it and stuck it in her bathroom shower. 

Well let me now tell you why it works.  What happens is that there is a chemical reaction of the running tap water and the stainless steel that will then neutralize odor.  I know, we did not believe it til it was tested either.  But it eliminates the volatile sulfur compounds that creates body odor.  You can use it any where on your body.  Feet, under arms, in those private places....any where.  And no adverse effects either.  Pretty cool!

Making Sweet Scents

We have a dog who loves to play with the adorable soft black and white "kitties" that come in our

yard from time to time. Living in the country brings all kinds. This week we have been the feeding grounds for armadillos and the play yard for the skunks. And of course our senior dog ran to play, play and play. Now we have the sweet scents of skunk odor all over.

Thank goodness for EarthCare! They had already sent me two containers of Clear the Air Odor Eliminator for Skunk Odors. And not anytime too soon. I ran to the house and grabbed on and an old stocking. Poured the canister contents into the stocking, tied off the end and started shaking it all over our dog. Then we hung the bag up over the back door.

Wow what a difference it made, quickly. My dog started smelling better fast and the odor from the yard wafting into the house begin to dispense. I was so glad. I know that I will always have a can of this on hand for these "sweet scents". Thanks so much EarthCare!

Sweet Scents from the Litter Box

This last weekend our neighbors had a birthday party. Their in-laws were driving across the state just to attend. Of course my friend wanted the house to be at it's best.

Now did I mention that she owns 3 very large dogs? And that they love to stay in the house all they can? And that they sometimes have accidents? Hey, it happens to all of us. Well she asked what we used to keep odor down. You see, we have 5 dogs and they are in the house the majority of the time too!

So I let her borrow Clear the Air Pet Odor Eliminator. This is a all non-toxic product that we are currently using in our litter box. We have a new kitten and oh yuck.....the smells that come from that litter box. Earth Care Products was kind enough to send me a can of their Pet Odor Eliminator just the week before. So I was happy to share with our friends.

Now when I first opened the can I was not too thrilled by the scent. Of course I am use to those

floral and cinnamon fragrances that we find in most carpet fresheners. This is not the same thing though. Actually this is not something that covers up scents but instead it removes the scent. I cleaned the kitty litter and then sprinkled in some of the Clear the Air Pet Odor Eliminator. Guess what.....nothing.....yeah nothing......that is right nothing......I do not smell anything at all. And it has been a week. Wait....oh no, since I did not smell anything.....I FORGOT TO CLEAN THE LITTER BOX. Hang on just a sec folks, okay....be right back!

Well, ok that lil job is done now. Oh and about my friends and the party. Well when I attended the celebration, I ate in the living room. And you know what? I did not smell the dogs either. Now where is the Pet Hair Eliminator?
