If you’ve ever questioned if your house smelled like a dog, I’m sure you’d appreciate a few pointers on how to keep your house smelling fresh and clean. With a few regularly cleaned areas and practices, your home will no longer smell like a dog or dogs reside there, and you will be able to open your door without worrying about what the person on the other side smells.
With dogs, there are several locations in the house that may quickly get stinky. Cleaning and keeping things fresh are simpler with pets if they are cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
The following tips will assist you to guarantee your home stays odor-free:
WASH THE PET’S CUSHION OR BLANKET ON A REGULAR BASIS
Having a particular place or area where your pet sleeps keeps pet oils and hair off furniture and the odor limited to a washable location. Washing this pillow or blanket on a weekly or as-needed basis will keep the fragrance from entering your home. We used bath towels in her kennel when she was a puppy. They may be swiftly cleaned and dried and even discarded if required. When shopping for a pet bed, opt for one with a detachable, washable cover. If there isn’t a detachable cover, ensure sure the bed itself is washable. If you have soft toys for your pet, throw them in the washing machine when you launder them.
BRUSH AND BATHE REGULARLY
Because canine oils are the main cause of that dreaded ‘dog smell,’ brushing and washing are the best ways to keep it at bay. Wiping dogs’ feet as they come in from outdoors can also help to keep dirt at bay.
IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, USE AN ENZYME-BASED CLEANER.
When it comes to pet accidents, it is critical to totally eliminate the fragrance of any accidents so that they do not return to it and re-mark that place. An enzyme-based cleaner will dissolve the stain and remove any odors.

MAKE USE OF A LINT ROLLER
Using a lint roller to remove fur from furniture is an easy method to keep the scent out of your home. If you immediately roll fur off furniture and clothing, the scent will not stay as long as it would if you left it alone.
FLOORS SHOULD BE VACUUMED AND WASHED ON A REGULAR BASIS.
If you have a canister vacuum cleaner, empty the bin after each vacuuming session to prevent the accumulation of oils and smells, and if you have a bagged vacuum cleaner, replace the bag often. I always recommend obtaining the best vacuum cleaner you can afford – search for one with a HEPA filter designed to remove pet hair and dander from your floors and carpets. I strongly suggest this vacuum cleaner for pet and fur removal as well as deep cleaning.
MAKE USE OF A NATURAL AIR FRESHENER.
If all else fails, spray something in the air to mask the canine odor. Artificial scents should never be used as air fresheners, in our opinion. Essential oils (lemon and clove) and natural, soy-based candles are go-to options for air refreshing. Eucalyptus and lavender are both calming and non-toxic to dogs.
