We have 4 cats and a dog in the house and they do have an occasional accident. Sometimes the male cats overshoot the side of the litter box and urine gets into the tile grout.







I just keep an old dish detergent bottle filled (and labeled) with bleach and water 50/50. The bottle has a nice little pop up top on it so I can easily direct the bleach to the area that needs concentrated disinfecting.







I usually just let a small puddle of bleach/water sit on the grout for a few minutes, so it soaks in completely...then mop and rinse. It doesn't change the color of the grout at all and any odor that was produced by the bacteria in the urine is gone.







(Great for sanitizing around the base of the toilet, too)







Try it, I think you'll be pleased with the results <:O)

First get a steam cleaner (on line pricing available). Sweep floor well first , then spray a little Simple Green or better some Lysol /bleach type/ cleaner on floor. The lysol even picks up stains from cigarette burns on counters etc. Don't put anything except water in steamer. Some steamers even clean carpets and all kind of floors without much work. Very light weight models are GREAT.

WELL MY FRIEND THIS WILL WORK-LET US KNOW.

I don't have cats, but the last house I bought had them. The only thing I liked, after using many many products was Ammonia. You will want the house empty of people, wear a mask, and soak the grout with Ammonia. Open a few windows, and leave too! This is what I was told is the only thing that breaks down cat pee. Good luck!

Weider Platinum Home Gym - Cable Motor Stopped and Controls Blink:



When powering up the WPP the crossbow motor stopped then the electronic control panel lights began blinking on and off. Shutting off power and starting again was no help. I followed troubleshooting guide in manual which partially worked (looked like it was going through an electronics system check and LED check). But the remainder of the procedure did not work. I never did get the controls to respond properly or the crossbow motor to restart as manual stated they would.

You've got to drive this car! The Ferrari 348 Spider elicits waves, honks, stares, and constant calls from nearby motorists and pedestrians alike. Ordinary drivers morph into paparazzi, turning their digital cameras and video recorders on to film your every move as you drive by with the top down.



What really makes the 348 so special is driving it. You've warmed it up. You've checked your coolant and oil levels. Your gauges report good oil pressure, good water temperature, and good oil temperature. You shift into gear and ease out onto the highway, where a quick blip of the throttle sends you rocketing into the first safe opening on your initial merge. Your blinkers and high-beam flashers are precisely located so that using them becomes an unconscious, effortless act as you change lanes and pass slower traffic.



Transmission:





5-Speed Manual Synch



Just behind you, your ears reward you with the warm low tones of your factory tuned exhaust. If you think about it, you can just hear your transmission conveying your precise rpms back to you. The throaty exhaust isn't overpowering, just pleasant and "there." You can still carry on a casual conversation with your passenger, even with the top down at maximum legal freeway speeds. Wind noise and wind buffeting inside the cockpit aren't even noticeable, save for the occasional light breeze fluttering across your cheeks.



A light flick of your wrists and your 348 has flashed its high beams, signaled left, and changed lanes. A light blip on the throttle and you've passed a slower motorist by. One more light wrist flick and you're back in your driving lane with open road in front of you and smiling drivers behind you.



When you pull into a roadhouse, a crowd gathers to gawk at your car. Many point and whisper "Ferrari."

I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and I love it! I have to say that the assembly time is way too low. I would say it took me a good 5-6 hours to take my time and make sure I got it right. The instructions are lacking in a few spots. Not too bad though.



Also, this is a heavy machine and all the parts come in one big box, so you may need help getting it to where you want to build it. (Once its built, you can roll it around.) When they delivered mine, they dropped it right in the garage for me, but after that, I was on my own.



I have read mixed reviews of this system, but I think they can be summed up like this.. .If you love free weights, this might not be for you, but for a cable and pulley system, this is a high quality machine.



Hope this is useful



Ok thats the quote from SD. I've got an old school Bowflex and I'm thinking of upgrading. I'm on the wall on this one, someone please convince me one way or the other. Thanks!

I would call in a technition for this one. Although it may cost money, it is better than asking on a public, non-professional-answerers website.
