We all love our animals, however pet ownership can come with some unique challenges. One in particular is keeping your home smelling clean and fresh – and not like a barnyard! Whether your pets may soil the house or have an extra stinky coat, there is a simple method you can take to reduce and even eliminate pet odour. 

Stock up on bi-carb soda. A natural odour absorber, bi-carb soda is man’s new best friend – for removing pet odours anyway! Not only can it be used as a natural air freshener (just leave an open box on the kitchen bench), it can also remove odours from fabrics, furniture and even inside littler boxes. 

For problem areas such as the couch or carpet, simply sprinkle a little fresh bi-carb soda in an inconspicuous area of your furniture or room and then vacuum or wipe clean. For animal urine, soak up the damp area as soon as possible and then sprinkle bi-carb soda over the area. Allow to dry and then pat area gently with a clean towel. Vacuum the remainder once the area has completely dried. Bi-carb soda can also be added to litter trays. Simply sprinkle a layer of bi-carb soda in the box before adding littler, and then add another layer on top of the littler. This should further help absorb and defuse any additional odour.
