Use it to Train Your Pets

Hack: Use Vicks to train your pet not to make in the house.

If your cat or dog is making a habit of marking his or her territory around the house, you can use Vicks VapoRub as a means of training them. What you need to do is take an open container of Vicks VapoRub and place it in an area that your pet often makes its mark (and it’s more often than not in the same few areas).

The product’s strong scent will have an effect on them by deterring them from making it again in that area. It’s really a great gentle teaching method compared to other house-training approaches. And as a bonus, your home will have that camphor smell!
