How To Get Rid Of Embarrassing Pet Odors From Your Home
One sniff is all it takes to know if a home has a pet in most cases. This is particularly true if it’s a dog, cat, or a pocket pet, as these creatures typically mark their territories by marking them with their scent.
Fortunately, it’s not impossible to remove pet odor from your home. Here are a few of the most effective ones:
Clean your floors and furniture thoroughly.
Scents and odors usually cling to your floors and furniture, so cleaning them would be a great way to get rid of your home’s bad smell. Vacuum, sweep, mop, steam clean, and wipe down your surfaces thoroughly using effective cleaning and deodorizing agents. Carpets can be tricky, but you can always have them deep cleaned by professionals if you can remove their smell.
If done regularly, this can already be enough to get rid of and prevent pet odors from lingering in your home.
Soak up and destroy surface odors.
If the first tip didn’t really get to remove the pet odors in your home, don’t lose hope. You can still remedy Dried-up pee and other odor-causing “accidents” in the house by soaking them up. One good way to do so is by sprinkling baking powder into the affected areas. You can also use commercial odor-absorbing products should you wish to.
Wiping down your surfaces with cleaning deodorizing liquids like vinegar and other cleaning solutions is another way to get rid of smells.
