I love my pets. I cannot imagine living without animals! They bring so much joy into our lives, and when we lose one, our hearts are broken. Our pets are our family members, but they do tend to smell up the place a lot more than our human family members. I’m sharing my 3 earth friendly tips to keeping your house odor free when you have pets.
EnviroKlenz Everyday Odor Eliminator
Toxins are everywhere! More and more people are developing allergies and chemical sensitivities due to environmental toxins. I love EnviroKlenz because they’re made with natural earth minerals. It is a product you can feel good about using since it is safe to use around your entire family.
Our family went without a dog for years because we were waiting until we moved into a house with a bigger yard. When I knew that wasn’t going to happen, I told my husband that I really wanted a dog. That was 8 and 1/2 years ago, and Toby has been such a joy in our lives. I always had a dog while I was growing up, and I never really noticed that dog smell. I guess when you’re a kid, you don’t care about those things. Well, I’m a grown-up now, and we grown-ups do care about stinky dog smells!
Keeping my couch and floor odor free is important to me, but I never found anything that truly eliminated the odor. It just masked it. EnviroKlenz Everyday Odor Eliminator eliminates the toughest odor sources without the use of masking agents, fragrances or harsh chemicals. EnviroKlenz naturally removes stubborn odors and fragrances from carpet and upholstery.
We all know that dogs love to lick themselves, right? Well, Toby loves to lick himself which of course leaves smelly spots on the couch. I tried my EnviroKlenz Everyday Odor Eliminator on this spot to see how it would get out the smell. It also got rid of the mark there because I really rubbed it with a lot of water too. I followed the directions for upholstery cleaning which say to achieve a visible coating. I did and then let it sit and then rinsed it.
This picture is after it is totally dry. I got more of the dog fur up too. An impossible chore. EnviroKlenz worked very well at getting that stinky spot clean. I also sprayed it on a blanket that has been smelly no matter how many times I washed it. I let the blanket sit for 15 minutes, and then washed it regularly. It worked! The dog smell is gone! I am amazed, and you will be too.
EnviroKlenz Odor Neutralizer Granules
It’s something we don’t want to talk about, but with pets (and kids) accidents happen. Smelly accidents. While Toby hasn’t had a urinary or bowel accident in years, he does still throw-up if he eats something he shouldn’t….like that time he sneaked into the kitchen and ate Kyle’s leftover baked potato. That was nasty and smelly. This is a great product to keep your house odor free when you have accidents like that happen at home. It is non-bleaching, so you don’t have to worry about it staining your surfaces.
I used these odor neutralizing granules on one of Toby’s vomiting accidents, and it worked amazingly. I just sprinkled this on, and it soaked it right up. After the area was dry, I vacuumed, and it came right out. It is easy to use and can be used on soft and hard surfaces.
Baking Soda
Yes, good old baking soda is another way to keep your home odor free when you have pets! We’ve also got cats, and you know cats can leave lots of odors. Sprinkle the bottom of your cat’s litter box before filling it with litter. This can really help cut odors. You can also sprinkle plain baking soda on your carpets before vacuuming to help soak up some of the odors your pets leave behind. Baking soda is also great for stinky shoes, smelly drains, yucky dishwashers and more.
Like it? Pin it!
I highly recommend EnviroKlenz! It works so well, and they’ve got a 100% money back guarantee. Order some for yourself and see what I mean.
Just because you have pets doesn’t mean you have to put up with pet odors! Your house can be odor free thanks to earth friendly products from EnviroKlenz, so be sure to check out their entire line of products. What earth friendly tips do you have to keeping your home odor free?

We don't have a dog anymore, but before he passed, he got really, really smelly sometimes. I'm going to have to keep this in mind if we should ever get another dog.
Definitely and it works well on stinky sheets and towels too! Just spray some on, wait 15 min and wash!
I imagine the EnviroKlenz Odor Neutralizer Granules would come in handy for removing the stale odor left behind from wet paws and shoes tracking mud into the house from recent rash of Spring storms. Even after the area has dried and been vacuumed, the stale odor tends to linger.
It would certainly help with all those stale odors!

Thank you so much for this, I always worry that our home smells of pets, as I know you can become nose blind to it. I'm going to have to give everything a good once over using your tips!
You really can! Since I'm "fostering" my nephews cat and I've got my own, I have to be sure to spray this on stuff they sleep on. AND THE DOG! lol
Hi Sarah! It's definitely great to have some trusted friends come over before a get-together to help you pinpoint the source of some odors that you might have become nose-blind too. This is important even if you aren't having a get together because some pet smells (like ammonia in urine) can be quite toxic when breathed in over a period of time. I would recommend the EnviroKlenz Everyday Odor Eliminator to freshen up your home and remove the odors at the chemical source.

We have all hardwood floors except in two of the bedrooms. I really try hard to keep those doors closed and our dogs out of there. Hardwood floors have been awesome for not holding in pet smells like carpet!
That is very true. I used this on our couch :)

We totally could have used this in our last house where there was carpeting everywhere and you could totally smell pets (my guess is cats) all over the place. Blech! I love animals, but they really do stink don't they? II like the non-fragrance part of this that it doesn't smell all chemically at all. I'll keep this in mind when we eventually get around to adopting a pooch!
Yes, chemical smells can be even worse than pets sometimes!
The granules would be ideal for freshening up those stale areas on my carpet and area rugs after our doggy comes in from the backyard on rainy days. I'm curious to try EnviroKlenz Odor Neutralizer Granules just to check out the scent to see if it'd be too overpowering for my family.
It doesn't have any odor, it just sucks up the grossness lol.
