It can be difficult to keep a nicely-scented home if you have one or more pets. Regular cleaning does help, but eliminating dog smell completely is more complicated and requires a couple of tricks. Professional house cleaning services in Bayswater are still your best bet, but what if you want to do it alone?
And that’s only one part of keeping your home clean with pets. You should also learn some great tips on cleaning your home after your dog. Also, it could be useful to know how to get rid of cat hair if you’re more of a cat lover. First, let’s see about eliminating the smell of your dog from your home.
The best method for keeping your dog smell at bay and ensuring a scented home is regular cleaning. You don’t always have to clean extensively, and you can also segment your house in areas where your canine friend spends most of his time and areas where he seldom goes.
From there, you can spend most of your cleaning efforts on areas where it’s more likely that your dog has left the smell on carpets, sofa, etc. Carpet and sofa cleaners, as well as universal cleaning agents work wonders when it comes to removing pet smell.
When it comes to the doggy bed, it’s a good idea to regularly air it out, usually twice a week. You should also wash it biweekly, in the washer if it’s washer-safe, or by hand if it’s not. Simply take it outside and use normal cleaning detergent or mild soap, scrub it thoroughly, rinse it off, and leave it out in the sun to dry.
If your dog sleeps with you in your bed, make sure that you change the sheets at least 3 times a week, to make sure that the smell doesn’t linger in your bedroom.
The only real problem with having a pet living in your home with you is that you get used to the smell and you stop noticing it after a while. On the other hand, people who are not used to it will immediately notice it.
The lasting solution would be to do a deep cleaning. What this entails is that you thoroughly clean all the areas and surfaces where your dog might have slept, jumped on, or where it spent most of its time in general.
The easier and more temporary solution would be to just wipe your floor with a mop, using a cleaning solution of water, mild dish soap and add a cleaning product with a nice fragrance. This will give your home an extra nice smell.
However, doing this will mostly only mask the dog odor and not get rid of it, since a fraction of the smell will be present on the floor. Without a thorough cleaning you won’t fully get rid of the smell.
