Odors Be Gone

Let’s face it, in the current housing market, selling a home can be more than challenging.  Home owners need to take all the steps necessary to market their homes as perfect to potential buyers.  For pet owners, this includes removing all trace of pets, including odors.  Litter boxes or pet odors from other sources can be hindrances to selling a home, and it’s important for owners to remove all odors before introducing potential buyers.  There are some great cleaning products available that target the source of pet odors, instead of just cover it up.  To be most effective in removing pet odors, make sure to use a product which targets the odor source and not just a generic carpet cleaner or cleaning product.

 You also want to remove all traces of pets, including litter boxes, pet beds, scratching posts, toys; all of it.  It’s simple for a pet owner to imagine themselves in a home with no pet odors, but difficult for a non-pet owner to imagine them in a home that does have existing pet odors.  Either way, having no presence of pets or pet odors works out best for the seller. 

You know how sometimes you walk into someone’s house and it just smells dirty? I hate that experience. I have a close friend who is really gross. She lets her animals urinate and defecate all over the house and rarely cleans it up. I swear I have dreams sometimes about her house and the dog urine odor smell there and I wake up sickened.

The only think that would help my friend is a house with a yard. I have committed my self to helping her find a haven for herself and her animals. Sometimes people just need a little help to get on the right track.

My family just got a new puppy and he’s a hand full. He runs around the house like a wild little animal. His favorite activities include chewing on stuffed animals and fetching sticks.

But just like any puppy, he has trouble holding his urine. That means he sometimes has accidents on the carpet. Removing pet odor from the carpet is no easy task. It takes hours of scrubbing just to get the carpet back to normal. Having a puppy is totally worth it though.
