yes, peroxide WILL bleach if it sits there long. It’s what’s in hair bleaches & stuff & it burns the heck outta & turns my fingertips solid WHITE when I use the hair color foam! For fabrics, upholstery, I’d use baking soda, or my favorite, white vinegar. It may take several applications.

Oh, for like, cat pee odor–mix in some baking soda into that mixture you already use. Spray on, wipe off excess, let dry & Poof! Odor gone! (Sometimes can take 2-3 tries, but it’s free & works as well as the $10 a bottle stuff from Home Depot).

I have used peroxide to remove blood on clothing and it has never bleached the fabrics. Vinegar is a good odor neutralizer mixed with water. There was a post earlier that warns against the use of vinegar on woods, marble etc. Check it out.

Put white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the rug and any upholstered furniture with it and just let it dry. As far as pet stains get a pet odor and remover from Walmart or a pet store and follow the directions.

Peroxide: (Do it yourself bleach jobs) Isn’t that what some people used to bleach their hair with years ago? It might do the same for your fabrics.

I like Robert’s suggestion.

throw some baking soda over the carpeted area, leave for an hour and vacuum,, as for the rest make up a 50% percent solution of white vinegar and water, swab down your furniture and wipe clean, finally sprinkle baking soda over the pets bedding before changing
