Question:

Vinegar and water floor solution?

I have a dog and I know that floor cleaners are poisonous to dogs. I have heard that you can mix white vinegar with water and it will kill the bacteria and won't hurt the dog. What measurement should I use for the vinegar solution?

Answer:

hmm i have people saying things that you add warm water to the vinegar solution. Also Dogs and cats can often be bothered by itchy, scaly ears -- especially if you have a dog with floppy ears like a retriever. Dilute white vinegar in a 1:4 ratio (1 tablespoon vinegar to 4 tablespoons water, for example), and let it soak into a clean rag. Then use the rag to wipe out the inside of your pet's ears. And if your pet gets sprayed by a skunk, vinegar is an easier acid to use than ketchup for getting rid of the smell, since ketchup itself doesn't rinse off all that easily. Finally, if unwanted cats are creeping around your yard, spray or pour vinegar onto their favorite litter box -- felines can't stand the stuff!
Floor cleaners ARE poisonous to dogs, IF THEY DRINK THEM. Use a solution made for floors. Vinegar is only an acid. It has NO soap, detergent, surfactants, etc.
