I have found with having 12 ferrets and 3 skunks in my home the best and safest to use is white vinegar. It will take all smells off the floors along with cleaning it very well. Occasionally I will use mild bleach. With a lot of the cleaners the smells are very harsh to your pets noses too. Bleach as we all know is strong. So I use very little when I do use it. I like to stick to the vinegar plus it is cheaper than most cleaners. Another thing that has been discovered if you use ammonia you will be getting your pet to have more accidents in the home since when they urinate once it leaves the body and mixes with the air it has an ammonia smell drawing a pet to go and mark over the other. Plus the fumes can be harmful to your pets sensitive nose. Remember they have more smelling sensors in their noses than we do and they can smell all sorts of smells we as humans can not. Also if you have something that needs an abrasive baking soda will usually do the trick. Hope this helps Robin I wrote this pertaining to the article below.
