hadn't heard of several of those, only been using nature's miracle nad it usually takes a lot of it (using it on clothes)
have used the baking soda for litter boxes, especially since I started using chicken feed, or also chicken/rabbit/small animal corn bedding, still waaay cheaper than any kitty litter, but I have a hard time with the corn smell ________________________________ From: Natalie <at...@optonline.net> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Thu, September 23, 2010 6:56:18 AM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Fw: New to Feline Leukemia I haven't heard of OdoBan. There's also nature's Miracle, which has been hyped...doesn't work so well. I like" 0-Odor" (Zero Odor), and "What Odor?", and Professor Amos' "RIGHT AWAY" - all safe for animals. I've tried spraying 0-Odor in top of the litter and it really takes the smell away...but I usually sprinkle baking soda into the litter box after I've scooped it; it refreshes and keeps the litter smelling better for a lot longer. -----Original Message----- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Cougar Clan Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 9:22 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Fw: New to Feline Leukemia It works great and so does OdoBan.
