How To Get Rid Of The Dog Smell In Your Home
I am a person who loves to have guests over and who always wants to have the place looking fantastic. While I usually always have the aesthetics down, it is the smell that sometimes gets away from me. You see, I have a rather large dog. He loves being outside and, like any dog, has issues with odor. That dog smell has, on many occasions, made it difficult to have people over. He is sweet, sure, but no one can really get over that smell, especially the friends without dogs and who are not used to it. In order to keep the guests coming, I have found some effective ways of getting rid of the smell while keeping my lovable pooch by my side.
The first thing for me is cleaning. This goes hand in hand with keeping the place presentable, so it is no big chore. I make sure to vacuum frequently and keep the dogs areas clean as often as possible. Just like my own bedding, there needs to be changing and cleaning going on here. It makes it more comfortable for him and it makes the place smell better in general. It is easy to do and it makes us all happier.
I also attack the odor in the air. Using candles and incense does this quite well for the beginning, depending on the brand and scent, but they are really only good for masking that annoying odor. Sometimes, they may even worsen the problem if the scent mixes with the dog smell or if the scent is not pleasant. Usually, baking soda is the way to go. It absorbs the smell and I can sprinkle it on almost anything. It is a great little tool that helps all around the house.
Products have been helpful, as well. Personally, I prefer MrGreen Dog Deodorizer in the 34 ounce bottles. Big enough size for me and it is highly effective. Since it is natural, I do not have to worry about issues with spraying it around my dog, and I do not have to worry about smells. It has worked brilliantly for me so far, even allowing me to freshen my dog up since it can be sprayed right on. There are other products out there, of course, but this has been my favorite so far.
I buy my MrGreen products at Amazon.com
I make use of so much out there to make my home smell better, and so far all of these things are working for me. My dog is healthy and happy and my house smells great. I have not experienced any problems with health or smell since starting. With MrGreen and my household tools by my side, everything has been working out wonderfully.
