Hey there! Today's article is brought to you by, I'M F***ING DONE!!!! Stay Tuned!

To put it simply; two years ago the hubby, and I tied the knot. Therefore, we had to convert our belongings on each side, into one. We were both rooming with friends, and family in houses. We all in our respective units, made our homes our own together. It was like living with family for me. We each borrowed what we needed, or helped with everything aside from rent, and utilities. Anywhoodle... Now that my husband, and I were moving in together, we realized we each had a lot of S***. Shortly after we began the process of combining our households, we found out we were pregnant. Needless to say, we had to speed up the process. Put that s*** into hyper-drive. (A baby girl by the way.)

Fast forward, we have our first apartment together. It wasn't easy, as we didn't have enough "proper renters experience", to lease an apartment on our own. We got in through taking over a lease, that was posted by a couple in a Facebook group page for our community. There's a tip right there. If you're having an issue leasing an apartment as a "first time renter", take over a lease. Social Media community rental groups, have people looking for someone to take over their lease, so they don't spend money breaking it. Not always, but it happens more often than not. Maybe post about it yourself, that you're looking to take over a lease, for someone ready to move prematurely per their rental agreement.

Back to the program.

The problem began when we combined our pets. I had two cats, but then I had one. My dear husband, drove thousands of miles alone, to bring all of my belongings from North Carolina to Washington State. (Not D.C.) Included in that cargo were my three furbabies; Hufflepuff, my Calico Kitty, with beautiful nerdy colors. Sylvester, my black kitty whom reminded me of Thachary Binx from Hocus Pocus. Last but not least, Bleu my Pitbull. Blue like the raptor, spelled like the cheese, because it's fancy. Unfortunately, no amount of love could ease the stress of the second cross country trip, Sylvester had to make in a matter of months. (Long Story.) My husband, and I were, and are devastated with his passing. He's buried under a cherry tree at my MIL.

After my animals were brought back, we soon re-homed my pitbull back to his original family. I know it sounds odd, but my friends' sisters' ESA furbaby passed away, and she absolutely adores Bleu. It was a perfect fit, as we would not have the time to give him the love, and attention he needs. I miss my Bleubear everyday, but he's super happy where he's at, which is far better than I could give him right now. My husband brought two cats, and a part time dog as well. Split custody if you will. As we co-parented the pupper he adopted with his ex. Completely drama free. No worries there. I can't imagine being separated from my animals regardless of circumstance, and would never ask someone to do so, regardless of the person... with stipulations of course. If there was drama, yeah I would probably not subject myself to co-parenting an animal with the ex of my husband.

Not the point. The point is I know how to sterilize, and cleanse your clothing, carpets, hardwood, etc... from the piss of your cat. Even the piss of dogs. This method is multipurpose, and very effective! Two Words!

DISTILLED VINEGAR!!!

Yup. That's it. Distilled Vinegar is the most effective way to clean anything. I use it as softener for my laundry. Just poor it in. I use it to steam clean. Add it to the water. ESPECIALLY since my cat pees EVERYWHERE! My cat is being bullied by my husbands cats, and pees where she is hidden. Therefore, hidden from us until we smell it. It is a never ending cycle right now, but I would be lost without the Vinegar. I find mine in the cleaning aisles at Walmart. Usually right next to Ammonia. Ironic much.

Seriously. I did not just write a small version of my life story, to steer you in the wrong direction! I even find adding water to my laundry detergent container, once I've reached the end of its intended purpose, followed by scrubbling, hehe "scrubbling", SCRUBBING it into my carpet, and finally steam cleaning it with Vinegar water to be the most effective. It costs so much to get the "specific cleaner" for the machine, and not very much at that. My apartment smells f***ing AMAZING after I implement my method. Better than any "Pet specific" cleaner ever has in the past.

Give it a shot, and let me know how it worked for you!
