Dog can bring many things into our home: happiness, excitement, laughter, just to name a few. But one unwelcome “guest” that dogs also bring is pet odor. It can stick to all of your fabric surfaces and leave your home smelling…less than pleasant, to say the least. Luckily there are many ways you can keep your home from smelling like dog.
Open Some Windows
Sometimes just opening the windows and letting some air circulate in your home can make a big difference.
Clean Accidents Quickly
If your dog couldn’t make it outside and had an accident, make sure to clean any mess as soon as possible to prevent odor from lingering our attaching to other objects. Try a stain and odor remover like Nature’s Miracle Advanced Dog Enzymatic Stain Remover & Odor Eliminator Spray.
Vacuum Frequently
If your dog leaves a blanket of fur anywhere they go, you’d benefit from vacuuming at least once a week, or as needed. Even if your dog doesn’t shed a lot it’s still best vacuum frequently.
Have Your Dog Groomed/Bathed Monthly
Having your dog groomed regularly is probably the best way to prevent extreme pet odor in your home. It’s recommended that you groom or bathe your dog once a month, especially for breeds with thick, curly, and wiry fur.
Wash Your Dog’s Bed & Blankets Weekly
Another great way to get your home smelling fresh and free of dog smell is by washing your dog’s bedding once a week. Vets recommend using Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent.
Deodorize Furniture Regularly
Combat pet odor by using a fabric deodorizer on the furniture in your home.
Get An Air Purifier
Getting an air purifier can significantly improve the air quality of your home. Make sure to get one with a carbon filter, which is capable of removing far more pollutants than regular filters.
