I know it seems pretty obvious when you hear someone say "Keep your home clean." but it is one of the best, cheapest and simplest ways to prevent pet odor from settling in the furniture and every nook and cranny of your home.
It is as simple as setting a routine to clean your home and sticking to it. This includes mopping, laundry, vacuuming as well as dusting. You need to vacuum all your curtains, mats, rugs, carpets, etc at least thrice each week in order to remove all the pet hair from the fabric.
Sweep and mop hardwood floors at least once each day. You can also hire or rent a professional cleaner every couple of months for proper in depth cleaning of the carpets.
Nothing holds odors longer than fabric. The best way to clean fabric is to keep it clean in the first place.
Here are a few tips to keep the fabric from smelling bad:
Here are some fresh smelling house hacks:
If your puppy or senior pup has had an accident, use newspapers or a paper towel to soak up the urine. If possible you can use an old rug or piece of cloth under the rug to soak up better. Odors tend to linger for longer periods of time in rugs and carpets if left as it is. Here are a few tips to remove odors from accidents:
If you have just bought a new carpet, it may not be a good idea to spray vinegar or baking soda on it. In such cases it is a smart option to go for a dry carpet cleaner.
It is available in the market and has a texture like saw-dust and has a granular consistency that works wonders to help absorb liquid spills, stains and odors from your carpet fibers.
Since it has a dry texture instead of a wet one, you don't have to worry about mopping it up from the floor and once it has done its work, all you have to do is vacuum the area once.
Try to go for a carpet cleaner that is safe for multiple kinds of fiber such as sisal, wool, etc.
Once the urine has been soaked up as much as possible, use a high quality odor neutralizer like ELiX's PET NEUTRALIZER IN SPRAY.
Keeping the windows open to facilitate ventilation is literally one of the simplest and cheapest ways to keep your house free from any unpleasant odors.
You can also turn on your ceiling fan to circulate air better throughout the house.
Keeping the windows open is not always a good idea, and it can turn out to be problematic as it allows for insects to come into the house and it is even worse if you have some outdoor allergies.
If you cannot keep your windows open for some reason, it can be difficult for odors and unpleasant smells to leave your home.
To solve this issue, it is a better and healthier option to invest in a good quality air purifier. This air purifier will mitigate the allergens and dust entering your home making it a more enjoyable living situation.
Keep in mind that you will be required to change the filter of the air purifier every couple of months for optimal performance.
It sounds obvious, but how often do you clean the paws of your pet each time they come back from an outside stroll?
Probably not very often.
It is time to get into the habit of cleaning the paws of your pet each time they come back inside from an outdoor setting. Once you start doing this, you will surely notice a huge difference in the look and smell of your furniture and floor. It affects the overall odor of your home as well.
You need to groom your pets regularly. Brushing the coat of your pet at least once every couple of days is a must. It helps remove any dust and loose hair from the coat.
When it comes to bathing your pet, you must consult with your veterinarian as to how often you should bathe and brush your pet's teeth.
You can also use grooming wipes that help elevate any unpleasant odor from your pet.
Teeth cleaning treats are also a good option instead of manually brushing your pets' teeth if they are fussy.
