How Can I Make My House Smell Nice!?
Ask a Question
We have a German Shepheard and no matter how many time i clean his bed or the floors etc the house still has this dog smell at time s and it drives me insane. Are there any simple hacks i am missing ???
The smell of wet dogs is one of the worse smells and to be honest I don't know of any ways to eliminate it but I would try pouring some bicarbonate of soda around the house and leave it a while before vacuuming as apparently it's good for neutralising some smells, another wee trick to try is soaking a bit of cotton wool with essential oils or other fragrances like perfume or after shave and put it on the radiator, when you put he heating on it'll send a nice smell around the house.
I also put dryer sheets inside pillows, cushions and even under my sofa. Lemon cut up and mixed with Bicarbonate soda and sat in a bowl absorbs odours too.
I wash my dog beds weekly and in between washing them I use a dog deodoriser spray on the dog beds, I also have plug in air fresheners around the house too
It is funny that we never get use to some smell, I used essential oils in my house in places he could not reach.
I use Yankee Candle Plugin’s Black Cherry, The Maker’s of Reborn Dolls to get that Newborn Baby Smell use Wonder Wafers Baby Powder I wonder if putting some inside the actual Dog Bed Cushions might help,
This one is supposed to be effective but I haven't tried it, personally. Febreze 3Volution Plug in Starter Kit Pet Odour Eliminator
I can recommend The Rug Doctor Urine Eliminator – 500ml for around £5. It is really effective on toddler accidents and 'wet dog' smells.
When we had our dog we used to regularly Vax the carpets and wash her bedding. I also used shake and vac. Unfortunately when you have dogs you are never going to get rid of their smell completely.
thanks guys yes i think its ust a case of do my best but accept that having a dog, no matter how much you try there will always be that odour to some degree!
