It was my husband’s birthday today so gave him a piece of chocolate and a bowl of frozen yoghurt. Bad idea, he had another accident, luckily he was wearing depends. However, there was a big mess on the floor.
On went the blue heavy rubber gloves, I got stuck in and cleaned the floor up with toilet paper. I washed the floor with Clorox and sprayed Febreeze. It was much better smelling, a blend of Clorox, poo and clean laundry. I have stopped gagging, now it is just a clean up without any drama. My husband’s daughter called and I filled her in about his condition. Now I hope his son calls. His other son is a total dolt so don’t expect anything from him.

    So glad you bought stock, you will be a rich lady! Don’t know of anyone that doesn’t use both products. Glad you made it through without gagging, we are not there yet and sure don’t look forward to it.

    Take care!

    Another thing you can do is put a drop or two of peppermint or clove oil in a mask and wear it while cleaning up. I used to do this when I cleaned up patients.

    I'm sorry this happened Buggsroo.  Perhaps he is lactose intolerant?  There is non-dairy ice cream.

    Today is my birthday too.

    I have become an expert in poo cleanup. The best thing to use is men's foaming shaving cream spray along with paper towels for the initial cleanup. I got this hint here on these boards and it really helps. Of course you follow that up with your clorox or whatever you need to clean the floor. Then instead of febreeze use a spray odor eliminator called Zero odor or something that does not have a scent! It works much better to instantly remove the smell of poo.

    Thank you Cherjer and Buggsroo.  I live in LB.

    Elshack, thanks for sharing.  I need a better odor eliminator for my blind cat's accidents.  She doesn't always make it to the litter box.  I have been using Kids and Pets Stain and Odor Remover.  I'll try your product.

    I love lighting some incense. It works really well at eliminating odors and I end up feeling like I'm in an interesting bookstore!

    I am also a fan of incense!  Don't scrimp.. buy the good stuff.  You can find it at a food co-ops, and natural food stores / Whole Foods.  Well worth the money.  I do a pre-emptive strike and light a stick in the bathroom whenever he is in there "working on a project".  Since I have to go in after and help him with clean-up, it makes the experience much more tolerable.  I also burn some in his room from time-to-time, just to freshen things up a bit.
