Important Tips for Pet Odor Removal

1. Do Regular Pet Cleaning

The first step to keeping pet odors from overwhelming your home is to prevent them from happening in the first place. Bathe your puppy regularly using a vet-approved pet shampoo, and brush their coat to remove excess hair and prevent shedding.

2. Perform Regular House Cleaning

The next step to help minimize any odors from pets on carpet and furniture is to vacuum the areas where your dog spends most of their time thoroughly. Make multiple passes with the vacuum cleaner, and use the attachments to clean between the sofa cushions and under the furniture to remove pet hair.

3. Remove Potty-Training Accidents

Mop up any messes from hard surfaces quickly, and dab up urine from carpets using paper towels. A solution of part vinegar and part water can help to neutralize odors, always test spot first.  Of course potty train them as soon as possible is the best preventative.

4. Apply Enzymatic Cleaners

An enzymatic cleaner has special enzymes designed to break down organic materials and eliminate the source of many pet odors. After cleanup, spray the cleaner liberally over any area where your pet has had an accident to remove, rather than mask, the odor.
