I'm not the most trusting person (anymore) when it comes to claims by companies wanting to sell me their products
Well Im not a chemist but I have 3 upper year university courses in Organic Chemistry, and I missed a minor in biochemistry by only one credit. This is all okay, I reassure you. The hazard information on isopropyl alcohol would matter to the people manufacturing the product, as they actualy deal with sufficient quantities to be wary. That is why MSDS's are "ingredient" specific, and not generally necessary for the public (though, it is good to be informed when using a pure or dangerous chemical like bleach). Even when you buy 70% rubbing alcohol, theres very little danger. It is quite flammable at that level, but if you keep it away from an open flame, thats not going to be a problem. Anyways, Natures Miracle is nowhere near that concentrated, its almost entirely water. The small amount of isopropyl alcohol in this product (it comes AFTER enzymes which in a research lab are used in MICROLITRE (1/1000 mL) volumes) is nowhere near the amount that would need special concern.
Thank you! I appreciate the detailed explanation, and definitely feel better about buying a bottle of Nature's Miracle to try.
Oh boy. Well, it usually involves cool water and a bit of dawn detergent, but I can't say I never used warm water on it. I guess I'll get a bottle of nature's miracle and see what happens.
Interesting. I'll have to make a note of that.Originally Posted by valanhb
I don't know if it would work on barf stains, but I know that vodka (cheap works well) does clean pee stains very well. Apparently it also works on the odors in cat pee, and even skunk (a friend of mine got sprayed and washed her clothes with vodka and said it worked). So that may work. Should be low enough alcohol content not to be flammable, though I certainly wouldn't allow the cats to get into it while it's still wet. All the alcohol will evaporate, though, so it shouldn't leave any residual bad things in the carpet. (I got the tip from a cat book, so it's not just an old wives tale.)
Drink the Vodka and then you won't notice the stains OR the smell!Originally Posted by valanhb

Best advice I've heard so far.Originally Posted by mzjazz2u
