Owning a dog brings great joy and companionship, but it also comes with the challenge of maintaining a fresh-smelling home. If you’re struggling with lingering dog odours in your carpet and house, you’re not alone. Here’s a detailed guide on how to get rid of dog smells from your carpet and home effectively, featuring some fantastic products from 1001 Carpet Care.
How to Get Rid of Dog Smells From Your Carpet and House-Step-by-Step Guide
1. Vacuum Regularly
Start by vacuuming your carpets thoroughly. Pet hair and dander can combine together to give out unpleasant odours. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to trap fine particles effectively.
2. Spot Clean Accidents Promptly
Accidents happen, especially with our furry friends. If your dog has an accident on the carpet, act quickly:
- Blot up any liquid using a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Apply the 1001 Carpet Care Pet Stain Remover to the stained area and blot gently.
- Repeat, if necessary, until the stain and odour are gone.
3. Deep Clean with 1001 Carpet Shampoo
Regular deep cleaning is essential to remove embedded odours.
Here’s how you can use 1001 Carpet Care Shampoo to clean your entire carpet:
- Mix 1 part 1001 Shampoo with 6 parts water to make a solution.
- Use a carpet cleaner to apply the solution evenly.
- Follow the machine’s instructions for thorough cleaning.
- Allow the carpet to dry completely.
4. Freshen Upholstery and Curtains
Dog smells can linger on upholstery and curtains. Spray 1001 Carpet Freshener on fabric surfaces:
- Hold the can upright and spray evenly.
- Allow it to dry naturally.
- The fresh scent will neutralise odours.
5. Wash Dog Bedding and Blankets
Your dog’s bedding and blankets can harbour smells. Wash them regularly using 1001 Carpet Care Machine Solution:
- Add 4 cups of the solution with 1 litre of water to the washing machine.
- Wash on a gentle cycle.
- Air-dry in the sun if possible.
6. Clean Your Dog
Regular baths and grooming for your dog will help reduce odours. Use a mild dog shampoo and thoroughly rinse to remove any residue.
7. Ventilate Your Home
Open windows and let fresh air circulate. Proper ventilation helps remove trapped odours.
Remember, consistency is key! Regular maintenance using 1001 Carpet Care products will keep your home smelling awesome even with a furry friend around.
