How To Remove Pet Odors From Your Home

Article Title: How To Remove Pet Odors From Your Home

If your roommate has four legs and a fur coat that knows no
seasons, you may be struggling with pet odors. It has been
suggested that people who have pets live a longer life, but they
may also have to deal with a little extra effort in making sure
their home is perfect.

Housebreak your pet. If you have a kitten or puppy, it's easier
to housebreak them because they are still learning. An older
animal can still be housebroken, but it may take a little more
work. Although this task can prove to be tiresome, most pets
will catch on within a matter of weeks. Depending on the age and
intelligence of the animal, it's not impossible for him/her to
learn the rules of the road within days. In no time, your pet's
instinct will come into play and he/she will be the perfect
house guest. If you need assistance in housebreaking your cat or
dog, consult with a local veterinarian or pet trainer.

Make time for litterbox maintenance. If you have a cat, make
sure to change the litterbox regularly. You may also wish to
consider a self-cleaning litterbox, but always make sure to keep
the area clean and free of spills or other mishaps.

Consider your choice of flooring. If you are trying to
housebreak a pet, carpet is not your friend. It retains odors
and stains making it more difficult to keep your home smelling
and looking fresh. If feasible, you may want to consider adding
hardwood flooring of vinyl for easy maintenance and cleanup.
With this type of flooring, fewer odors will be trapped, along
with pet hair and stains.

Choose a specialty cleaner. If possible, use a floor/carpet
cleaner specifically designed for the removal of pet stains
and/or odors. As is the case with all cleaners, make sure to use
in a well-ventilated area and follow the manufacturer's
instructions.

Now that you know how to keep your home smelling fresh and
clean, don't forget to include an air freshener or scented
candle to add a touch of your favorite fragrance to the air.
Just make sure to keep any such item out of your pet's reach.
