- We love our pets, but don't always love the odors they leave behind. Right? While there are a lot of great products on the market, you may prefer an all natural solution. Here are some of the most effective ones. As always, any cleaning solution, even all natural ones, can damage fabrics and materials, so we always recommend pretesting in an inconspicuous area first. Baking soda. Especially useful for odors in carpets and upholstery. Baking soda is a great option. Liberally sprinkle baking soda on problem areas and let it sit overnight. In the morning, thoroughly vacuum to remove. Vinegar and water. Urine smells can be difficult to get rid of. To combat urine odors, mix some white vinegar with water in a spray bottle and spray the solution on affected surfaces. The vinegar mixture will neutralize urine odors as it dries. If urine odors still persist, you can try a second treatment as well. We found this particularly effective with dog urine odors. Vinegar, water, and dish soap. For persistent odors or messes that happen on carpet or upholstery, adding a little dish soap to the vinegar mixture can provide a lather that you can work into the fabric where it can really do its magic. After treating with the solution, we recommend cleaning as you normally would to remove any lingering dish soap. Lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, and water. A great all-purpose cleaner. The lemon juice is a natural enzymatic cleaner and the hydrogen peroxide is a great odor neutralizer. So if you have a particularly persistent odor, this is a great option. Mix in a spray bottle and apply to the affected area and allow it to dry. With these home remedies, your house will be smelling great in no time. Please do make sure to test all cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area before use to ensure they don't damage the material or stain.
