Good news! It wasn't a dead animal!

it's nice that it was found and that you could get rid of it that easily. some things end up requiring more digging and greater measures to get rid of the smell.

Ok, I know I have read before that she is not the brightest crayon in the box, but how dumb was that? Uh, yeah, the blood from a package of ground beef would be stinking after a few days. I am glad to hear that you found the offending odor.

Oh that can be nasty, but chicken would have been worse. We had a neighbor who raised chickens, one day she gave my son a few chicks that she knew were not going to make it. Well, he had them in his room and they did not make it. He hid the little carcasses under his bed. His bedroom door was closed, it was summer and I walked in their and it reeked. I headed for the bathroom so that I would not add to the aroma. I opened the windows, put on the house fan, put some perfume on a face mask and went in to find the source of that smell. there were 3 little carcasses in a box. He never did that again - at least not with chickens. But a few years later, he tried hiding a kitten in his room - we named it Stradivarius. It took some convincing but he got rid of it. Two young dogs and a kitten made the house way to hectic for our life styles.

Hi foxy, I will look for that previous post, I have not responded in that for sure, I wonder why, maybe a glitch in my notification.. so, great thing that it wasn't an animal at all!

That is disgusting! Has this girl not been taught anything?

Well it's good to know it wasn't an animal after all. That was a rotten smell I bet yuck I can just imagine. Why didn't she just rinse the cloth out and let it lay open on the sink or toss it in the washer? you must have been thinking why whould she wad it up and stick it behind the sink for it to stink up my place. I'm glad you found the solution to this problem and may it not happen again for your sake for that sounded bad.

Wow she is messy. Who does something like that. Glad you got rid of your smell problem.

I am glad that you found out it was not the cat. I am sure that smell really was bad. Glad it was that easy to get rid of.

That's good news x 2! Awesome :) I bet you are also relieved a bit too! Have a wonderful day!

I also cannot imagine the smell of a towel that was used to clean the beef thaw and was left there for 17hrs... It must smell very awful... Maybe she should have washed the towel instead of just putting the towel there.. What a scare you must have experienced...

hi foxyfire wow that would really get to making a stink.Towels do that when they get something yucky on them and sit in the heat for a few days and they smell even worse than rotten potatoes' which is one vile odor that is unforgetable.

Well, no wonder they said always do things the way they are supposed to be done. Good thing that it got cleaned up and now. bourne

good day.. it does happens when we left "fresh" animal residue under the sun after a day or two. It's good that flies didn't come to party or else it would be annoying for flies have the tendency to explore, lick and spread through out the house. After that you can see maggots on the party place.

it a good thing it was not a animal the smell is not so easier to get rid of .

Oh, Foxy, I did not even want to respond to the other discussion. I am so glad it was just that stupid ground beef. You tried to put it away once. She is too dumb for words. What did she do with the beef. I hope no one got served it.

She thawed ground beef on the counter? Isn't that dangerous? I mean, I am a neat freak and a germ freak, so I would have definitely worried about the germs infecting someone. But I do have cats, so I am aware of what it's like to have to track down a mystery smell in the house. I am happy things worked out.
