Little research has been done on this subject, but it is a situation known to every breeder eventually.

Products like Simple Green Carpet Cleaner, for example, rated "D" for respiratory concern, skin allergies, reproductive and developmental toxicity, and impact on the environment. Who knew?
Here are some simple, natural recipes to clean the most difficult of pet stains. Totally safe, and very effective...
