The third product: Soap

There is a rule that everything is getting dirty if it is not washed. Imagine you are not washing your hair for a year. Sounds terrible and you can imagine how it will look like and smell. The same story is happening with our dogs. Especially when it is rainy weather or dog managed to walk on the wet grass. We should give a bath to our dogs.

Basically it is recommended to wash dogs every month. However if you all of a sudden feel that smell in the apartment or you feel how your pet smells when you play with him consider giving a bath to him earlier. By the way if you think that you are lucky as your dog has short hair you are wrong. Short-haired dogs bring worse odor than other dogs.

Basic hygiene rules

• Brush your dog regularly.
• Wipe her paws every time after walk.
• Give a bath every month or so.
• Use dog shampoo or simple soap.
• Wash carpet on which she sleeps very often.

Understandable that many dog owners do not bother with washing paws every day. We are always in a hurry and they seem like not that dirty. Using cloth for wiping will be a mistake. In such a way we will only move dirt and bacteria from one place to another. The best solution is to wash paws with running water. Use a drop of dog shampoo or alkaline soap. Soap will not only wash paws and disinfect them but also will dry delicate skin between fingers and remove unpleasant odor.

Advice: Buy soap without additives and aromas. Such alkaline soap is natural, healthy and will not cause allergy.

This product if so powerful that we can find plenty of ways to use it at home. Potassium permanganate can be applied for giving bath to newborn, disinfection of wounds and even as insecticide. Due to the chemical reaction of oxidation bacteria will not be able to multiply. This is the reason why potassium permanganate is perfect pet odor eliminator.

Cat owners are often facing the problem of cat urine smell all over the house. Unfortunately cats marks their territory and often they do that all over the house. The smell of cat urine can be removed from all the surfaces with potassium permanganate.

Simple disinfect solution

• Add few drops of potassium permanganate in the water which you prepared for cleaning.
• Solution should be weak.
• The color of the water will be slightly pink.

• Rinse the spots with the water.

There is no need to throw away a carpet on which your cat marked territory. Even if you already tried everything you should try strong solution of potassium permanganate. Put plenty of newspapers under the stains and wash the places with disinfect solution.

Keep in mind that potassium permanganate leaves marks on the fabric. Use this method only for dark carpets. Before using it on the furniture or carpet try it on the not visible spot. When you know that color will not be spoiled go ahead and eliminate the smell. If there is no spots with pee and you feel odor you should wash all floors with such solution and odor will be gone.

Advice: Always wear gloves when you clean the house using potassium permanganate.

The sixth product: Hydrogen peroxide

The best way to eliminate pet odor is to decompose chemically the cause of the smell. If we will manage to kill the smell and cat/dog will not determine its own marks we will succeed and get rid of pet odor forever. If the animal has organized toilet with filler which he likes or is going regularly out for a walk it will not pee on the wrong place. As soon as smell will disappear completely your pet will not repeat his disappointing action again. If he comes back and continue again and again marking territory on the wrong place that means that we cleaned it not well enough and we should eliminate odor better. Sometimes stains are wider that they seem and you just should clean bigger territory or they go deep into the fabric and need to be washed two or three times.

Step by step cleaning

• In the sprayer add 100 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide, half of teaspoon of dishwashing liquid or liquid soap and 100 ml of water.
• Slightly mix everything.
• Cover the stain with baking soda and spray over baking soda the mixture.
• The mixture will react on the surface we are cleaning.
• Leave it for a couple of hours.
• Collect the leftovers with the vacuum cleaner.

After such a chemistry the will be no traces of odor. Because of the chemical reaction the smell evaporates and there will be no need to clean the surfaces from chemicals. The smell will be gone forever from the spot because we managed to decompose urine! Use dishwashing liquid because it is bubblier and will slow the reaction and provide better cleaning.

Advice: Bed sheets and other textiles after cleaning with hydrogen peroxide should be washed with detergent and 150 ml of apple vinegar.
