Eliminate Bad Pet and Litter Odors
Our companions are adorable but their odors sometimes less so. Here's how to keep a fresh and healthy home naturally.
Recommended Materials
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Vacuum cleaner (HEPA filter ideal)
- Litter scoop
- Deodorizing laundry detergent
Steps to follow
Step 1
Clean the litter box every day: removing excrement is the basis to prevent odors from settling.
Step 2
Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda at the bottom of the clean litter box before putting grains.
Step 3
Regularly wash cushions, baskets, and blankets of animals in machine at 60°C if possible.
Step 4
Ventilate the home 10 to 15 minutes a day, winter and summer, to renew air.
Step 5
In case of accident on a rug, absorb liquid, then clean with water/white vinegar mixture. Do not use bleach which attracts cats.
