Pets are wonderful company, but their smells don't always add to the ambience at home. Fur, dander, muddy paws and litter can all leave odours behind.
Here are three simple tips to keep your home smelling fresh for you and your furry best friend.
Tip #1: Clear all hair and pet dander regularly
Pet odour clings to shed fur and dander, which collect on floors, furniture and in corners and crevices.
Vacuum often, even if your pet has short hair. Regular cleaning removes much of the source of the smell before it builds up.
Tip #2: Give your pet's accessories a thorough wash
Pet beds, cushion covers, blankets and toys pick up dust and odour over time.
Wash them regularly, along with any throws or covers your pet likes to curl up on.
Tip #3: Freshen the air with fragrance oils, room sprays or diffusers
Once the cleaning is done, scent can help your home feel fresh again.
A kirri Element, Beacon or Pillar diffuser with your favourite fragrance oils keeps a gentle scent in the air, and a ginger flower room spray gives a quick refresh when you need it.
Keep diffusers, oils and sprays out of your pet's reach, and check with your vet if you're unsure about using fragrance around your pets.
The bottom line
Pet smells can linger, but a little regular cleaning and the right home fragrance go a long way. Follow these tips and your home will feel fresh for everyone.
