Odors Be Gone

Though we do our best to avoid accidents with products like Dramamine and even sedation pills, pets will have occasional accidents in the car.  When your pet does have an accident in the car, it’s important to address it right away.  If you let a pet mess linger in your car, or don’t clean it fully right away, it can become soiled in the fabric and is then much harder to remove.  To avoid this hazardous situation, it’s pertinent to carry a pet stain remover in your car when you’re transporting pets.  With this, if an accident does occur, you’ll be able to stop and clean it instead of waiting who knows how long before you’re back home. 

If an odor lingers even after you’ve cleaned up the mess, ensure that you’re using a product to neutralize odor.  Some stain removal products will just mask an odor and it will dissipate for a short time and then return.  With an odor neutralizer, the unpleasant odor will be gone for good. 

Whether you’re moving out of your home, or just moving your cat’s litterbox, it’s important to remove the stains as well as the smell.  Your cat has no doubt had a few accidents near the litter box, and cat urine odor can make a home smell unpleasant, significantly reducing its value.  Knowing how to remove pet urine isn’t always easy, but you should start with a cleaning product that removes the stain and also addresses the smell.  Unfortunately, standard cleaners don’t do this most of the time, so it’s important to purchase a product designed to remove pet stains and odor. 

Once you’ve chosen a product, first remove the litter box from the location, then begin a significant cleansing of the affected area.   You’ll want to clean at least twice to ensure that the smell dissipates.  Also remember that while you might not be able to smell an odor, someone else can, so be sure to ask a neighbor or a friend who isn’t in your home if they can smell an odor before you dismiss it as gone.
