So, totally of my own volition, I wanted to share something awesome with all my dog-mom friends. I have tried just about everything to make our house smell pet-free. I love my dogs, and I love having dogs. I don't however, love how much my very rowdy boys smell after rolling around in the dirt all day and laying in the sun. I've tried all natural sprays, I've tried herbal sprays, candles, incense, febreeze, fresh flowers, etc. Nothing really, really gets the pet smell out of the house.
I usually just get Febreeze, which isn't bad, but doesn't last and it's expensive. It usually disappears after an hour or so. But the other day, I was at Target, and found this! It must be new, I haven't seen it before. It's made by Glade. I'm not really a plug-in/spray fragrance kind of girl, I like fresh flowers, clean laundry and open windows, so I don't normally buy Glade products, but it was on sale and I thought I would give it a shot.
Anyways, I spent all day cleaning and watching reality TV on Netflix today. And when I had everything clean and organized, I sprayed the closet, bed and dog beds and crates with it. Oh man, it was awesome. It didn't smell like a spray, it just got rid of doggy smells. I was super stoked, and not that I am a huge reviewer. I don't ever yelp (although sometimes I think I should) and I don't really hype up products, but I was so excited that it didn't smell like someone just dumped a bottle of bad perfume all over our stuff (like the fragrance sprays) and 4 hours later, the room still smells like nothing. That's exactly what I want it to smell like, nothing!
Anyways, if you have pets and don't like your house smelling like the pet store, this is the best stuff I've used. It's not "all natural" or "Organic" but it works, and that's works for me!!
Also, check out the kitty's new favorite spot!

Thanks for sharing! My girls aren't too bad but I'll definitely keep it in mind! When we move into a bigger space we want a big goober-y dog, so I may need it then, haha.
ReplyDeleteI love cats, that is hilarious.
Yeah, my small dogs are bigger stinkers than the big guy. But that's their breed.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't understand why cats like to be in the most uncomfortable places. It scares me that he goes behind the TV, because I don't want him to knock it over or get electrocuted, but he really like it...oh well...
Yeah no kidding. I'm sure it would be pretty much impossible to discourage him from it. Oh kitties.
ReplyDeleteGood to know! My Bubby-dog is 15 and does NOT like baths. He doesn't smell too badly, but then again, I live and work with him and it's quite possible I'm immune. :)
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled upon your blog. Lovely!

Hi Melissa! Welcome to my little corner of the world. I wish I was immune to it!! But I guess I am very sensitive to smells, good and bad.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing! i'm definitley going to check it out - I'm always looking for things to 'neautralize' the 3 pups in the house smell!
ReplyDeletethats great! i don't have a dog but a little kitty and i usually get freebse too but i would rather get something that doesn't smell! thanks for sharing~

i wonder if this would work for marty's kitty smell. the only place that really starts to get stinky is where her litter box is, even though it's cleaned regularly, walking through the door sometimes into that smell...is well, gross.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for this post because i swear, i have yet to find something that works and this might just do the trick ;)
ReplyDeleteSo I know it's like a month later, but I finally bought some of the stuff based off of the post and LOVE it! thanks for the recc :)
