Pets

• You might have become accustomed to the aroma of
  pets in your home, but you can bet your bottom
  dollar guests or visitors wont have!
• If youve ever visited a home in which there is
  at least one dog, youll doubtless have picked up
  on the smell that often accompanies them,
  especially if the dog moves freely around the
  entire home and is allowed on the furniture.
  While you might not see this (or smell this!) as
  a problem, it definitely isnt hygienic, and
  guests will definitely not appreciate it!
• To help make your pet friendly home smell sweet
  and inviting, follow the tips below

• Make your vacuum cleaner your best friend, too
• Fido might be your best buddy, but theres room
  in everyones life for more than one good friend,
  and its about time you made you vacuum cleaner
  your friend, too. Regularly vacuuming carpets,
  rugs, furniture, mattresses and curtains can help
  eliminate pet hair and dander, dirt and dust, and
  eliminate the smell that often comes with them.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter for the
  best results, and pay special attention to any
  areas that your pet frequents.

• Groom your pets often
• Regular bathing and grooming can help stop hair
  and dander from being shed all over your home,
  and a sweeter smelling mutt, makes for a sweeter
  smelling home.
• Clean your dogs toys, bedding and bowls
• Regularly washing all items that your dog is in
  close contact with is a good idea, and will help
  your home not only smell better, but be more
  hygienic, too. You can use a mixture of white
  vinegar and mild dishwashing soap to clean your
  dogs items, and try to do it weekly to keep
  germs at bay, and nasty aromas, out.

5

• Treat pet stains immediately
• If your dog or cat has had an accident somewhere
  in your home, clean it up immediately otherwise
  youll find that the smell lingers and begins to
  permeate other items in the vicinity. For tough
  odors on carpets, rugs or upholstered furniture,
  try sprinkling baking soda on the area and
  leaving it overnight. The next day, simply vacuum
  the baking soda and treat the affected area with
  a white vinegar solution if it hasnt dissipated
  completely.

• Think about installing an air purifier
• Purifying the air, these devices are fantastic
  for homes with pets and can help remove pet
  smells quickly and efficiently, while also
  eliminating airborne pet hair and dander.
• To keep your pet-friendly home smelling sweet all
  of the time, follow the above tips, or hire a
  professional cleaner to pop in for an hour or two
  every day to keep it fresh and hygienically clean.
