This training will pro- vide the following infor- mation on: Roles and responsibil- ities of a nonprofit board member Board member effective- ness at bringing funds to the nonprofit What constitutes a con- flict of interest Step by step plan on how to recruit board members An appreciation for the importance of strategic planning Ideas on how to run ef- fective meetings RSVP by Dec. 10 to Tara Loucks-Shepherd at tloucks@tcdss.org. For more information, write to Catherine Mar- shall at c.m.marshall@sb- cglobal.net WORKSHOP Training opportunity free for non-profits DEAR MARY I saw in your column a long while back an article about the car- pet scrub- ber (was it Bissell?) and poo-pooed it at the time. Now I am ready to cry UNCLE since I discovered to my hor- ror that one of my cats was shut in a bedroom and peed on the carpet. The smell is so bad my eyes are water- ing. I have Nok-Out (I'm huge fan of that stuff — even though it is a bit pricey it is worth every penny) but I feel a deep cleaning is needed as well. I want to get the carpet-cleaning ma- chine you recommend so I don't waste money on an in- ferior one. Help! —Laurie DEAR LAURIE My eyes are starting to water just thinking about what you're dealing with. But not to worry! You are cer- tainly on the right track starting with Nok-Out. It really is the only product I know of that will neu- tralize and eliminate that pungent odor — provided you follow specific instruc- tions for how to use it. And I agree, you need to power clean the carpet. My Hoover SteamVac re- ally is the best thing I ever bought. My machine is quite a few years old now, but it works as well as ever. The current model, which is even better, has a "clean surge" feature. I suggest that you make full use of that feature as you undue your poor kitty's unfortunate accident. Start by saturating the exact area with Nok-Out. Spray it on and be liberal with it. Nok-Out needs to come in direct contact with the offending urine, even if it has dried. Use your hand or a cloth to rub the Nok-Out in. Don't be gen- tle. You want to make sure that Nok-Out penetrates all of the fibers of the carpet, going through to penetrate the fibers of the padding and then also reaches all the way down to the floor. Err on the side of over-sat- urating and even treating an area much larger than necessary. You want the Nok-Out to soak into all of the layers, in the same way the urine has. Nok-Out will not damage the carpet, pad or flooring, so don't worry about that. If you're going to worry, worry that you will miss the source of the odor. Step away from the scene of the crime and let Nok-Out do its job. The folks at Nok-Out suggest a minimum 10-minute wait- ing period once you are confident Nok-Out has reached the source. You can also use Nok- Out in your Hoover Steam- Vac: Place 8 to 10 ounces of Nok-Out in the container of the cleaner and fill with hot water. Saturate, allow- ing Nok-Out to be absorbed into the carpet before suc- tioning back into the tank. It is always prudent to check for color-fastness be- fore applying Nok-Out. Al- though Nok-Out is non- staining, different dye may cause a color change. If you are unsure of the exact location of the pet problem, I suggest you give Hoover a good work- out and clean the entire carpet with Nok-Out. It can't hurt, and you'll know that you've killed all the bacteria and eliminated any other odors, too. DEAR MARY I really en- joy the useful ideas in your tip column. I lost the recent column explain- ing how to clean a Keurig coffee maker. Could you please forward or give me instructions on how to get this past column? Thanks. — Frank DEAR FRANK You can al- ways find anything from past columns at Everyday- Cheapskate.com. When you get there, look at the upper right and you'll see a search box that says: Search my blog. You can type a key- word or phrase into that box; in your case I would type Keurig then hit "en- ter" or "return" on your key- board. Give it a second or two to search and you'll get every column in which I have mentioned that word. Try it. I'm confident you'll find what you are looking for and maybe a whole lot more. Thanks for being such loyal reader. You can email Mary at mary@ everydaycheapskate. com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Ste. B-416, Seal Beach, CA 90740.
