Pets bring joy to their owners’ lives, but they also come with a set of challenges, including annoying
pet stains and odors that can take over your house. These odors can seem overwhelming and you may be ready to give up hope on having a home that smells nice, but The Carpet Cleaning Company is here to give you some tips on how to remove those lingering smells. From home remedies to professional cleaners, here are some ways to make your house smell good again.
Home Remedies To Remove Pet Odor
If you have pet odors lingering in your house, you might want to try removing it yourself before spending money on a professional cleaning company. Below are some of the most effective ways to remove pet odors on your own:
Baking Soda: Surprisingly, baking soda may be one of the best cleaning products in your home. Baking soda is a great deodorizer and can absorb a lot of bad odors. Sprinkling some baking soda on your carpets or furniture is one of the most effective home remedies to clean up bad odors. Let it sit for 20 minutes, then vacuum up both the baking soda and the bad smells!
Vinegar: Another cooking ingredient that is surprisingly effective as a cleaning agent is vinegar. Vinegar is a natural odor remover, and adding a small amount to your laundry can help remove bad odors. You can also combine vinegar and water to create a spray that helps remove bad pet smells from carpeting.
Cleaning Products: If baking soda and vinegar can’t remove the smell, then it may be time to try professional cleaning products. There are a large number of cleaning products created specifically to clean messes, stains, and smells left by pets, including our
CleaneR products. These cleaning products are the easiest way for you to take care of annoying pet odors without having to call a professional cleaning company.
Rug Cleaners: If home remedies and cleaning products don’t work, then it may be time to bring out the big guns and use a rug cleaner. Luckily you can buy or rent rug cleaners, but since they can get expensive, we would also advise looking at prices for a professional cleaning company.
Professional Cleaning Options
Unfortunately, home remedies can’t always fix the problem, and you may need to call in the professionals.
At The Carpet Cleaning Company, we start by inspecting your carpets for signs of stains and odors that need to be cleaned, then we vacuum those spots to make sure that our spot treatments are able to fully penetrate the areas of concern.
After those spot treatments, we apply our pet-friendly
CleaneR products and agitate the areas to remove even the smallest particles that could linger and cause pet odors to return. Finally, we perform a final inspection and offer a carpet protection that makes future messes and smells easier to clean.
Stop Pet Odors From Coming Back
Your house is finally free of those awful pet odors, but how do you stop those smells from coming back? Try some of the following tips to keep your house smelling nice:
Vacuum Regularly: Pets are messy and often leave hair and dirt everywhere. Vacuuming is an easy and effective way to keep these messes from causing odors.
Use Slipcovers on Your Furniture: If your pet likes to lay on your furniture, then it’s important to clean it regularly to keep gross smells from sinking into the fabric. Furniture can be difficult to clean, but with slipcovers, you can easily clean your couches and chairs before they begin to smell.
Keep Your Pet Groomed: One of the best ways to keep pet odors at bay is to make sure your pet doesn’t smell bad. Keeping your pet groomed is not only helpful for them, it also makes them smell good and keeps them from spreading bad smells throughout your home.
Schedule Regular Cleanings: While the other methods might help slow the spread of bad pet odors, the most effective way to keep your carpets clean and smelling good is to regularly schedule visits from a professional cleaning company.
