What is that smell

The other day I walked into the basement and I about died. Something stunk bad. So I started walking around the house to see where it was coming from. I had determined that the kitty box needed changing. Our new little kitty can't jump out the window like the older cat. So Bubba and Lili helped me change it.
Sunday morning we got up and headed out to church. when we got home OHH! the whole house smelled. So I started up stairs we each took a room. I put clorox in all the drains up stairs. I thought maybe they smelled for some reason. Then turned a candle on. Still the smell was there. So then I sent my oldest down to the laundry room. I asked him to go clean it. I said find that smell!. With in about 10min, and a great cleaning he came up with a package of chicken that someone had left out. So nasty. I said ok go clean where that was with clorox. I asked him to still look around because there could be more. So about 5 min. later he came back up with hamburger. I was so grateful to him for finding that nasty smell.
I am also grateful, because I have gone through the whole house and cleaned everything with clorox. Smells so wonderful.

OH - YUCK!! You should have taken a pic of the rotten meat! Glad you found the smell and got a clean house in return! Small blessings - small blessings! ;)

Nothing smells worse than rotting meat - especially chicken. Glad you finally found the source. What a clever way to get your kids to help out. Now you have your house all ready for the holidays!
