"For me, one of the perks of working from home has been being around my dog all day. (He's my 75-pound furry "assistant.") But it also comes with one big drawback: I've become noseblind to any pet odors. When my husband walks in at the end of the day, I'll ask, "Does our house smell like a dog?" Most of the time, the answer is no."
"Step 2: Launder pet items. Wash pet beds, blankets, cushion covers, and other soft items with an enzyme-based detergent plus a cup of white vinegar. 'Vinegar works because it's acidic and neutralizes the alkaline compounds in pet odors like urine and drool instead of just masking them, while enzymes break down the proteins that cause odor,' Murphy says. You can add the vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser, or directly into a top-load washer at the start of the rinse cycle."
Identify where the smell is coming from because dog odors seep into carpets, fabrics, and the air. Launder pet beds, blankets, cushion covers, and other soft items with an enzyme-based detergent plus a cup of white vinegar. Vinegar neutralizes alkaline compounds in urine and drool while enzymes break down the proteins that cause odor. Add vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser or directly into a top-load washer at the start of the rinse cycle. Deodorize surfaces and fabrics with baking soda and address carpets, fabrics, and the air simultaneously to effectively banish persistent dog smells.
