We use Bleach for Concrete Floors, Water Buckets & Dog Houses. We let our dogs run the dog yard while bleaching. Keeping Dog Kennel Doors Closed. We Rake Dog Poop from behind Dog Houses (from time to time) & Shovel onto a Hay Pile (Old Hay from Dog Houses) & BURN IT.

I have heard that bleach reacts with concrete. Can anyone clear that up?

Moved to a place a couple years ago where the people before had raised little dogs in the garage and it STUNK! (Concrete floor) Locals said not to clean it with bleach because it would make the smell worse. They recommended Nolvasan (I think that's what it was) to disinfect and cut the smell, so we used a gallon jug on the whole place. It initially smelled good and helped a lot, but probably what helped most was having dogs that would always go outside to eliminate.
Then we raised some pups in the kennel that didn't always go outside, and bought an older dog this year that didn't either. It started to stink again and now that the kennels and everything was set-up, there was no way to hose it completely out like we had done at first. I spot cleaned with a bleach/water mix. Helped a little but not for very long, and the dogs hated the smell.
I made a mixture of water, white vinegar and lemon essential oil to use for spot cleaning, but it didn't reduce the smell as much as I wanted it to.
I'd always hated the smell of Simple Green but it's considered to be pretty "safe", so I bought a gallon. I mixed it with water in a spray bottle and started using that for spot cleaning and it totally killed the smell inside the garage. I haven't tried it for pressure washing or hosing out a large area, but I've got a 6 week old litter of pups in my living room right now and that's all I use to clean their pen. I'm sold on it!

Hey Chawn I use simple green too, I was using some expensive kennel spray with a fancy nozzle and then one day realized it was nothing more than Simple Green. Kept the nozzle bottle but now buy the simple Green concentrate - much cheaper. I don't really like the smell of it but it smells clean and better than dog piss.
