Preventing & Eliminating Pet Odors in Your Home
Often, you do not truly know what your home smells like because your sense of smell has adapted to your environment. Imagine inviting family or friends over for them to tell you that your house smells like dogs. Pet odors may cause significant embarrassment! Thankfully, there are some things that you can do to prevent and eliminate pet odors in your home. Please see our list below and feel free to share it with your family and friends who also have dogs.
- Keep Up with a Regular Home Cleaning Routine – One of the best ways to prevent pet odor is to clean regularly and set a schedule you can stick to. We recommend that you vacuum, sweep, mop, dust, and do laundry.
- Don’t Forget Grooming – Get in the habit of gently washing your pet’s paws every time they enter your home. You will notice a huge difference in the look of your floors and furniture and the smell of your home. In addition, brush your pet daily to remove dander and loose fur. Use grooming wipes between baths to help remove dirt and pet odor.
- Keep the Windows Open – Allow fresh air to enter your home when you can. Add a fan around the house to circulate the airflow.
- An Air Purifier will Work Wonders – You may not be able to keep the windows open for long periods, especially if you or your dog has allergies. For a healthier and more enjoyable living situation, invest in a high-quality air purifier to reduce dust and other allergens in the air. Be sure to replace the filter every couple of months.
- Deodorize the Air – There are several pet-odor air fresheners on the market. Their main objective is to deodorize the air and provide a long-lasting fresh smell.
Pet odors can be a huge concern. We hope you follow our steps to ensure your home is fresh and clean. You will have peace of mind knowing you and your guests are in a pleasant atmosphere!
