How to Get Dog Smell Out of Carpets and Sofas
Did you know that the country that has the highest rate of pet ownership in Australia? With over 29 million pets, one in two households owns at least one animal, and the most common type is a dog (40%). Dogs continue to be the most popular pet. We adore them and regard them as members of our family. If you’re one of the 61% of homes with at least one dog, you’re well aware of the havoc they can wreak at home, especially on our carpets and furniture!
Dogs are the best pets. They’re cuddly, and they love to snuggle with us in bed or on our couches. But we all know that dogs leave a powerful smell wherever they go—even when you give them baths. They leave a distinct “dog smell” behind: we humans aren’t necessarily too keen about this! But don’t worry; there are some easy and simple ways to keep your home smelling fresh. Check out these easy ways of getting rid of dog smell in your carpets and couches.
Tip #1: Use detachable slipcovers and cushion covers.
Using covers on your couch and chairs can protect the fabric from your dog’s hair. You can also use removable slipcovers and cushion covers to quickly remove them when they get dirty or smelly.
Tip #2: Clean the area by vacuuming and mopping
Cleaning your couch and carpet by vacuuming and mopping will help remove any pet hair that might be left behind, as well as the stains and other unpleasant things. This is an essential step because it can get quite overwhelming for your couch or carpet to smell like animal fur constantly!
Tip #3: Spray a pet odor remover on the affected areas
Pet odor remover sprays are easy to use and effective. They can be found at most pet stores, supermarkets, or online retailers. Spray the affected areas with a pet odor remover for carpets and couches until they feel wet but not soaked. Allow the product to dry completely before using your furniture again.
Tip #4: Deodorise your couch and carpets with natural solutions.
You can use a spray bottle with water and distilled white vinegar mixed with lemon juice for carpets. Mix one part water; two parts distilled white vinegar, three parts of fresh-squeezed lemon juice in a small container such as an empty plastic cleaner jug. Fill up the rest of the container with clean tap water until you reach four cups total. Put this mixture into a spray bottle, then spritz it on your carpet! Let sit for about 30 minutes before vacuuming thoroughly. This is guaranteed to help neutralize odors left behind by your pup while leaving behind that fresh springtime smell everyone loves so much!
You can also add baking soda to your vacuum bag or canister. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and will help remove pesky pet smells from the area. Add one tablespoon of baking soda per cup of coffee grounds for added odor-fighting power! Now when you’re vacuuming, this active ingredient (baking powder) will be released into the air as it cleans and absorbs any unwanted odors that may sneak their way in at an earlier time–a double whammy against smelly upholstery made easy!
Tip #5: Maintain proper grooming for your pet.
If your dog is not clean, then he or she will smell. Bathe and brush the pet’s fur often to prevent odor from building up on their coat which can transfer onto furniture in your home. Taking your pet to a groomer can also be helpful.
Tip #6: Schedule a professional carpet cleaning service regularly.
Carpet collects dirt, leading to musty odors, so it’s essential to have it cleaned regularly. A professional carpet and upholstery cleaners will go a long way in keeping your home smelling fresh and free of pet smells.
Hire an expert carpet cleaner, and they will be able to help you remove the dog smell from your carpets or upholstery in no time! Achieving cleanliness could not be easier when you hire a team of skilled professionals who work with all types of stains, including pet urine, vomit, coffee spills, wine spills, etc.
Dog odor can be a real problem, but with these simple tips, you’ll never have to worry about it again.
