You love your pet. But you don’t always love that “pet smell” that just can’t seem to be cleared from your Bradenton, FL home. Just because there is an overbearing pet smell in your home, it doesn’t mean that you must get rid of your dog to get rid of the smell. It may just take a few DIY cleaning tips, or some help from the house cleaning professionals at HouseMaids.
How to Get Rid of Pet Odor
Getting rid of pet odor may seem like a daunting issue, but start simple: wash any necessary linens, pillows and furniture, as well as any toys, collars, and leashes. Many people remember the importance of bathing their pet regularly, but managing any toys, leashes, cages, and bowls is just as important– if not more. A box of unwashed, slobbery toys can really create a stench– but those toys need to be cleaned out, much like cat litter.
After a general cleanse and removal of any excess fur throughout your home and pet’s bed, you can move onto a more thorough step in the cleaning process.
Try these common household items that may work as pet odor neutralizers:
- Baking soda. Sprinkle a bit of baking soda onto your pet’s bed and any other furniture, let it sit for a few minutes, and then vacuum it up. Be sure to check any labels on any pillows or furniture first!
- Vinegar. Dilute vinegar with a little bit of water in a spray bottle, and spray on any needed areas in your home. You can even try this with a bit of baking soda for a stronger solution.
- Citrus and hydrogen peroxide. These are great bases for pet cleaners that can be alternatives to baking soda and vinegar.
If these tips do not do the trick to get rid of the pet smell in your home, you can always call the house cleaning professionals at HouseMaids. Sometimes, you just don’t want to get your hands dirty, or you don’t have time to– so don’t! Let the house cleaning professionals in Bradenton, FL do it for you.
