We have no doubt about how good it is to have puppies at home. They are great companions and it is a delight to see their happiness when we return home after a tiring day at work.
However, dog owners often face some minor problems, such as the smell of pets that can get around the house.
Do you know when you come in and smell that unmistakable smell of dogs in the house? Yeah. This can happen especially if you let your dog have access to all spaces such as sofas, beds, pillows.
But you don't have to worry about that? and never even think about sending your pet away because of details like that, huh? We have separated 7 very simple homemade recipes that will help you eliminate unwanted odors from your home.
1. Smell the carpet with baking soda
Do you know those products that have a thousand and one uses? Baking is one of them. As it is a relatively inexpensive product, you can use at will. Spread it over the carpet, cover with a tarp and let it stand overnight. The next day, just vacuum. Bye, smell!

2. Apple Cider Vinegar Cleaning
Vinegar does real miracles in cleansing. When washing your bedding or your dog's walk, add ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar to the detergent or soap you usually use and then wash normally. It's worth using white vinegar, too, but it doesn't smell as good as apple vinegar.
3. Make your own odor neutralizer
Super Simple Homemade Recipe: Put 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 tablespoon white vinegar into a spray bottle. Add two cups of water and stir well. Ready! Now just splash this mixture into the air, the carpets, the couch and wherever you want.
4. Refreshing Aroma
In the mixture of water, baking soda and vinegar, you can add 1/2 cup orange and lemon peel. The barks bring a great citrus scent and still prevent your dog from meeting its needs in places it should not. Try it!
5. Detergent Mix
A combination of dishwashing detergent and vinegar can be a great alternative in your fight against bad smells. Add one or two tablespoons of detergent to each vinegar container and use this mixture to sanitize smelly pillows and blankets.
6. Smelling urine
If your dog peed in a place it shouldn't have, that's the right recipe for eliminating the smell. Make a combination of lemon juice, water and baking soda. After cleaning the area with soap and water (or your favorite cleanser), apply this mixture.
