Pet odors are common, but they don’t have to linger. From tackling smells caused by accidents to managing ongoing pet-related odors, here are effective strategies to keep your home fresh and odor-free.
Start by identifying the source of the odor. Common culprits include pet accidents, bedding, and litter boxes. Cleaning the source is the first step in eliminating smells.
Enzyme cleaners are specifically designed to break down organic matter like urine and vomit, eliminating odors at the source rather than masking them. These are highly effective for carpets, upholstery, and hard floors.
Pet bedding can harbor strong odors. Wash it weekly using pet-safe detergent. Adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle can help neutralize smells.
Open windows to allow fresh air to circulate in areas where your pets spend the most time. Consider using air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce airborne particles and odors.
Activated charcoal bags and baking soda are excellent for absorbing lingering odors. Place them near pet beds, litter boxes, or other odor-prone areas.
Activated charcoal bags are a great way to eliminate lingering pet odors naturally. To keep them effective, it’s important to track their usage. Use our Charcoal Bag Efficiency Tracker to know exactly when to recharge or replace them.
