How to Keep Your Home Pet Odor Free

Anyone who has owned a pet, whether it be a dog, cat, hamster, or other exotic creature knows how much fun and joy they can bring. However they can also carry a "pet smell" into your home. This becomes increasingly difficult when there are multiple animals that stay in the house the majority or all of the time. And in colder or warmer climates where the windows have to be closed to maintain the temperature controlling pet odors can seem virtually impossible. This article contains tips on how to deal with this issue, and I have been very successful using these techniques. You may wonder how I know these ideas work - I am an owner of multiple cats and dogs that stay indoors a majority of the time - and visitors are unaware that I have them until they are seen. First you have to realize there are several items that are going to readily absorb pet odor.

Furniture, carpeting, blankets, and fabrics are the major targets and can hold the most scent. The next issues is dealing with and removing it, which can be a difficult task. There are several items a pet owner should have readily available. Carpet deodorizer, spray on scent neutralizer, carpet cleaner, and room deodorizers. There is a big difference between the room deodorizer and the cleaner for the carpet. The former is used on a regular basis while the latter is for spot emergencies - the cat, dog, or other critter that gets sick on anything. Be aware when it comes to sick pets and items; sometimes it is better to replace the item because odor can remain even after a thorough cleaning, use your best judgment when it comes to this issue.
