Odour Battling Tips For Homes With Dogs

• Were a nation of dog lovers with many millions
  of Americans owning pet dogs, in fact, there are
  plenty who believe that a home is not complete
  unless it contains a dog or two (or three, or
  four!). However, few pet owners can deny that
  their homes can quickly begin to smell like a dog
  kennel if the odour created by the presence of
  pet dogs isnt tackled often enough.
• Here are a few tips for keeping your home
  smelling sweet and fresh, without having to
  banish your beloved pets

3

• Consider buying an odor-resistant pet bed
• Dogs love their beds and spend many hours
  snoozing on them, meaning that they often absorb
  the odors of your pet. To avoid it from smelling
  so much that the aroma fills the entire room or
  house, you might want to think about buying a bed
  that has anti-microbial properties and resists
  odors. Many such beds come with removable covers
  that can be popped into the washing machine as
  often as is necessary.
• Air purifiers can bring a breath of fresh air to
  your home
• Helping to minimise allergies and cleanse the
  air, air purifiers with HEPA-type filters can
  make a huge difference to a home with pets.

4

• The purifiers trap up to 99 of airborne
  particles and can be used with or without air
  fresheners.
• Allocate a day to washing any smelly pet related
  items, including your pets!
• Choose one day of the week to gather up all items
  that your pet comes into regular contact with,
  such as their bed, blankets, and toys, and wash
  them. This will make a big difference to the
  smell of your home, and the area in which your
  pet spends most of their time. Bathing your dog
  regularly will help minimise the smell, too.

• Arm yourself with a tub of baking soda
• This super cheap and readily accessible product
  is a store-cupboard essential for many of us and
  is fantastic for absorbing odors on clothes and
  other household items. It can even be used as a
  dry shampoo for your dog shake it onto their fur
  to absorb the smell and then comb it through
  afterwards to help remove insects and other
  debris.
• Good old incense sticks
• Incense sticks will quickly eradicate any foul
  odors in your home, as will oil burners and
  scented candles.

• Dont make lemonade with your lemons, make a
  doggy air freshener!
• A cup of lemon juice when mixed with 6
  tablespoons of brown sugar and 700 ml of water,
  and added to a spray bottle, makes a wonderfully
  effective natural air freshener. Versatile, it
  can also be used to help remove paw stains from
  carpets, clothing, and upholstery.
• Your home can still be a haven for your pets,
  without making visitors feel the need to cover
  their noses and run for fresh air! With these
  simple tips, you can welcome friends and family
  to your sweet-smelling home, and not have to
  worry about smelling like a dog when you visit
  their homes, either.
