Advice on cat poop, please?
My cat just pooped on the carpet in my hallway. Lots of nice, big, moist poop cakes.
Anyway, I'm not sure how to clean it up. I did the obvious--got some paper towels, picked up what I could, then tried to blot and rub at the stain with soap and water and paper towel/toilet paper, which then left paper lint everywhere, which I just vacuumed up.
But I'm not satisfied. I want to kill the bacteria. I want to get rid of the itty bitty, slightly darker part of my carpet that could still be cat poop. How do I do this?
The last time this happened, I poured bleach on the carpet. I figured, bleach will kill anything. Bad idea. Turned my beige carpet orange! (Shh, don't tell my landlady!)
What should I do? I really wanna be sure I get rid of the bacteria.
I read about "enzymatic cleaners" online, but they seem to be focused on odor removal--I don't think it's going to leave a bad odor, I just want to kill germs (and possibly get rid of what might possibly be a stain...not sure yet, it could just be that the carpet's still wet.
Any advice? Thanks!
