pet urine, whiskey, perfume, you can use white vinegar to get rid of most smells on most materials: carpets, furniture, clothes, without damaging the material.

vinegar is amazing at breaking down odors and then evaporating and not leaving a trace.

got it.

I prefer waiting a few minutes for odorless non-toxic stuff.

commercial detergents or sprays are usually oil-based and that smell lingers. but when the petrochemicals are flower or lemon-scented, people don't mind so much.

I'll just drown it all in vinegar!

I do prefer vinegar and also wonder why people bother with other stuff for mirrors and glass surfaces.

I think it's entirely the fault of marketing that people aren't aware of many effective and simple alternatives.
