I LOVE the weathered fence they are drying out on. I came back in to see if they&#39;re were new photos, so I&#39;m looking in your archives. I see you have not only an adorable doggie, but tinkerbelle is a velvet beauty of a cat. That is the SAME name as the cat my grandparents owned. :)Gelhttp://soulcrayons.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596419245705006356.post-71548931051970180792009-10-12T11:36:00.256-05:002009-10-12T11:36:00.256-05:00I knew amonia (sp?) did cleaning stuff--like oven racks in a platic bag with amonia--but I didn&#39;t know about the odor stuff!! What happens if you walk into the room with those fumes?? I am wondering if I can use this in a secret room I have--hmmm. I might try it.<br /><br />I would like the red rug I see hanging on the fence. ;-)<br /><br />Cute tractor thingy for the kiddo!! what a deal!!nannykim at spindle cottagehttp://spindlecottage.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596419245705006356.post-47723890623310679402009-09-28T08:08:41.447-05:002009-09-28T08:08:41.447-05:00To heck with being a kid - I&#39;ll take that tractor NOW!<br /><br />Besides, kids get all the best toys.<br /><br />(What is that saying ... youth is wasted on the young!)<br /><br />Cheers!Almost Vegetarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05683148210713486393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596419245705006356.post-55140554119297798332009-09-22T11:21:19.172-05:002009-09-22T11:21:19.172-05:00Michelle, I always used vinegar instead of ammonia. 1/2 cup of Vinegar can also be added to a cold rinse in the washing machine (add it before adding your clothes). This works great when you have bed wetters, or when the cat peeded on somebodies clothing ....<br /><br />That tractor and trailor are ADORABLE!!! Are you sure you want to give it away? Set it out front with a small scarecrow on the seat and pumpkins in the trailer ...<br />And I promise not to tell if you do decide to drive it down the driveway ... ;-pCheryl B.http://www.xanga.com/thehousethatlovebuiltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596419245705006356.post-44317691865711122052009-09-21T20:09:41.892-05:002009-09-21T20:09:41.892-05:00Love the look of all the rugs on the fence, big job huh...Thanks for the information on the smell removal, with a dog and cat, there are just some days I need that...I love your home and your postings.

I am going to remember the ammonia trick. We once had orange juice spilled in our car during the summer and didn&#39;t realize it right away...and oh, was that awful...finally got the smell out. Bet your doggies weren&#39;t happy about the skunk incident!<br /> :-) Love the darling tractor...soooo cute!<br />SusanSusan (Between Naps on the Porch)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596419245705006356.post-44119508118802472472009-09-20T21:31:10.049-05:002009-09-20T21:31:10.049-05:00I never one time thought about cleaning my rugs outside.

I enjoy it very much.<br />Just a comment about the cleaning solution:<br />If you have cats and there is the possibility of cat urine in rugs or carpets, do not use ammonia in a cleaning solution. It will actually attract the cat(s) back to the same area.<br />SylviaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596419245705006356.post-35685014026814797522009-09-20T18:25:34.722-05:002009-09-20T18:25:34.722-05:00What a cute tractor....

I assume that is your home. WOW! LOVE IT!!! Thank you for the tip on cleaning the rugs! I have to try this. We bought a rug from Pier One for the bedroom &amp; I love it. But, it has an odor. Sometimes when things are made in China or India.... Anyway, I couldn&#39;t sleep in the room with the odor &amp; it caused me to have asthma. I am going to try this. Does the amonia remove the color from the rugs?
