but the video is "no longer available", so I have no idea how that would work.

The stupidest suggestion there was to use Vicks VapoRub on things that you don't want pets to chew or pee on......and all those things are like carpet, furniture, shoes, etc. Sure, I really am going to smear greasy, stinky Vicks on these things. WTF.

I will vouch for mayo to remove water stains on wood furniture. It does work and is easy.....but it doesn't work to remove alcohol stains. I haven't found anything to remove whiskey stains.
