Doggy Smelling House... Quick Solution Needed!?

Question

My dog was fixed last week so she has been inside getting love and sympathy off everyone! She has also claimed a spot in the lounge room for herself and because she was never really inside before the house smells like dog.

I'm having a few people over in about 2 hours so I was wondering if there is a quick solution for me to get the house smelling clean & fresh?

I've never heard of fabreeze and I really have no way of getting to the store because I'm babysitting a younger sibling that is still sleeping!

Please please help!

Answer 1

Put some vinegar in a spray bottle and mist the room with it. It will smell like vinegar for a little bit but absorb all the oders.

Answer 2

Spray a little listerine or vinegar onto a cloth or towel  and rub it over your dog's coat to help with her odor. You shouldn't bathe her if she still has sutures.

Vinegar really does help with dog smell. Vinegar is a great deodorizer and is natural and safe to use around pets. Mix one part vinegar and 3 parts water. Spray the air, furniture, bedding, carpet, everything with the solution. Mop the floors with warm water and 1 cup vinegar. The vinegar smell dissipates after it dries.

Answer 3

Open all the doors and windows, spray anything fabric with whatever you have that smells good, especially the dog area, and put a fresh clean blanket down for the dog.

Answer 4

Give your stinky dog a bath,if the dog does not stink neither will your house.

Answer 5

put a pot on the stove and fill it with hot water add some spices in it , like cinnamon, cloves, ginger  and let it simmer just don't forget the pot on the stove but to be on the safe side just in case set the timer of the oven on as a reminder .

Answer 6

Grab your favorite smelling fabric softener and mix it half and half with water in a spray bottle. Spray it on all the soft surfaces you can (unless it is a white surface as it may discolor). Do not saturate, just mist it on the carpets, furniture and even the drapes.

Another alternative is to grab a lemon (or lime), an orange (or grapefruit), 2 cinnamon sticks, 1/2 cup whole cloves and a 2 quart saucepan. Slice the fruit into the pan and then toss in the cloves and cinnamon. Fill the pan with very hot water as you need to do this quickly. Then set on the cook top on high till it begins to simmer then turn the heat down and allow it to simmer. The smell will go throughout the house in about an hour making it smell heavenly. Whenever you are finished with it, allow it to cool and place in a closed container in the fridge or freezer till next time. You can add as much as another 2 quarts of water total before having to toss the ingredients.

Answer 7

Take some fabric softener, place about 1/4 cup in a squirt bottle and fill with water. Shake well, spray lightly.

Or, take a piece of paper towel, soak with vinegar, place this on a dish, bowl, etc. place in an inconspicuous spot.

Hope this helps,
