My understanding is that it's important to wash a bleach solution off thoroughly as bleach will build up after a while (which is not good). Also, there is some veterinary information that suggests that there can be too much of a good thing and that bleaching every day over time causes the immune system to weaken because the dog doesn't build up immunities to any bacteria. I would be interested to know from folks whether they differentiate between cleaning a boarding kennel where runs are being used for different animals every day or so versus a hobby/breeding kennel where a family of dogs are kept together without the exposure of other animals and pretty much kept in their same runs day after day (except when someone is in season and has to be moved). (I can't remember whether this topic is on Evan's list and whether we're on schedule for it again.) <VBG> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grace Eaton" <zgrace_grace@xxxxxxxxx> To: <whit@xxxxxxxxxxx>; <rockannand@xxxxxxx>; <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 8:43 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Clean kennels > Wow! great site.
