Eliminate Dog Odors in Your Home & Car: How-to Guide
We all love our dogs, but boy can they stink sometimes. Especially in wet, rainy weather. Unfortunately, these unwanted odors don’t just cling to the dog’s coat. They also permeate the surfaces your dog comes into contact with. This How-To Guide explains how to get rid of that “wet dog smell” on furniture, carpets, bed, car seats and even the ambient air in your home or car. Read on – you’ll be breathing easy in no time! In this guide: What’s the best dog odor remover: Neutralizer or deodorizer?How odor neutralizers workThe right technique for removing dog smell from any surface Removing wet dog smell from your dog’s coatRemoving wet dog smell from your carRemoving wet dog smell from your houseEasy trick for removing dog hair from clothing and fabricsWhere to find Purodora products What’s the best dog odor remover: Neutralizer or deodorizer? The particle giving off that strong wet dog odor can seep into any hard or soft surface in your home or car. When it comes to eliminating any unwanted smell – pet odors or otherwise – you have to locate the source of the odor and neutralize it. Unfortunately, most products sold simply mask or deodorize the smell; they don’t actually neutralize it. Many merely create an unpleasant mix of odors that can actually make the situation worse. Even if these products do work for a while, the pet odors will eventually return. To completely eliminate stubborn animal odors for good, you need a product containing an odor neutralizer that’s specific to the molecule creating the odor. Purodora products use advanced odor-neutralizing technology to eliminate even the most stubborn odors on contact (including products that eliminate skunk smell). How odor neutralizers work Purodora odor neutralizers quickly and permanently eliminate all types of animal odor problems, including dogs, cats, rodents and horses. (Even if the odor has been around for years.) As soon as the product comes into contact with the source of the odor, it molecularly binds to it to neutralize the odor. The odor instantly disappears. The only smell Purodora products leave behind is a clean fresh scent. See the science behind this advanced odor neutralizing technology and why Purodora products are guaranteed to work! Pro Tip For best results, make sure the odor neutralizer reaches ALL of the animal odor To eliminate stinky dog smells completely and permanently, odor neutralizers need to come into contact with the entire source of the odor. For deeply embedded odors, a few treatments may be needed for the product to reach all of the odor-causing molecules and neutralize them completely. Don’t give up! Eventually the odor will be gone for good! The right technique for removing dog smell from any surface Using the right products is important, but they will only take you so far. You also need to use the right odor-removing techniques. Below we explain the best odor-removing techniques and products that are proven to work. Pro Tip When we talk about the intensity of a dog odor, this refers to things like how long the smell has been embedded in the surface, the number of dogs in the house or car each day and for how long, and how smelly their coats are. The more intense the odor, the more treatments may be needed to completely eliminate the dog smell. Removing wet dog smell from your dog’s coat A dog’s coat can smell for all sorts of reasons (some we’d rather not know about). Here are two options for eliminating wet dog smell from any type of coat. You can use either method that’s most convenient for you, or alternate between the two as desired. Method 1: Wash method This method involves washing the pet’s coat with an odor neutralizing shampoo. It takes a bit more time and effort, but the results are worth it. The products recommended below will leave your pet’s coat squeaky clean and completely odor-free. Required materials: Clean cloth, access to running water Recommended products: (depending on your dog/type of odor) Purodora Pet Shampoo & Skunk Odor Neutralizer (better for treating intense odors on the coat, including skunk smells)ORPurodora Pet Shampoo for Curly CoatsPurodora Pet Shampoo for Shaggy Coats Purodora Pet Shampoo for Sensitive Skin Why use Purodora Pet Shampoos Contains an odor neutralizer that’s guaranteed to work3 formulations adapted to different coatsPet Shampoo for Curly Coats: nourishes, moisturizes and revitalizes curly coatsPet Shampoo for Shaggy Coats: moisturizes, conditions and detangles long coatsPet Shampoo for Sensitive Skin: Hypoallergenic formula gently moisturizes and restores shine to coats of animals with sensitive skinSafe for puppies and kittensNon-irritant; dermatologically testedContains 90% natural ingredientsBiodegradable, sulfate-free, paraben-free and silicone-free Why use Purodora Pet Shampoo & Skunk Odor Neutralizer Contains a special odor neutralizer against skunk spray and other intense odors (urine, feces, wet hair, etc.) Instantly removes strong odors from the animal’s coat; doesn’t mask them like a deodorant wouldParaben-free and pH balanced: gentler on your pet’s coatNon-irritant; dermatologically testedA great alternative to traditional shampoos for neutralizing intense odors on the coat of certain dog breedsCan also be used to neutralize skunk smell on a cat or dogLeaves a pleasant apple blossom scent on the coat for several days How to shampoo your pet to remove odors on coat Wet the animal with warm water.Pour small amounts of shampoo all over the dog’s coat and work into a rich lather. Also treat the animal’s head, taking care to avoid the eyes and mouth. Leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Dry the coat with a towel or hair dryer. Pro Tip Purodora Pet Shampoo & Skunk Odor Neutralizer normally produces a thick, rich lather. If it doesn’t, it means you either didn’t wet your pet enough or use enough shampoo. Method 2: No-wash method This is the quicker and easier method if you’re pressed for time. It involves simply spraying your pet with a pet odor neutralizer. The upside of this method is that you can spray the pet as often as needed between baths whenever its coat starts to smell. You can even use it to prevent the coat from smelling. The no-rinse product recommended below is safe to use frequently on your dog, cat or rodent, even if it licks itself.

When it comes to eliminating any unwanted smell, you have to locate the source of the odor and neutralize it.

The right technique for getting rid of odors in a home Having the right products is important, but it will only take you so far. You also need to use the right odor-removing technique. Below we explain the best odor-removing techniques and products that are proven to work. How to get rid of pet odors in the house (cat, dog, ferret, mouse) If the previous tenants had multiple pets, the house or apartment might be full of all sorts of animal smells: cat urine, wet dog, skunk spray – pets can create a kaleidoscope of smells! PRO TIPGeneral pet odor or urine smell? The first step is to figure out what type of odor you’re dealing with, since different odors need to be treated with different products. Eliminating general pet odors Eliminating general pet odors from hard surfaces We recommend using Purodora Disinfectant and Animal Odor Neutralizer. It’s used by pet stores, veterinary clinics, boarding houses, breeders, groomers and animal shelters as a routine cleaner and urine odor neutralizer. Quickly eliminates all animal odorsNeutralizes odors, doesn’t mask themDoes double duty as a household cleaner and disinfectant that’s safe to use on all hard surfaces: wood floors, walls, ceilings, ceramic, cabinets, concrete, etc.Leaves a clean mint scent for several hoursWon’t damage or dull the finish on wood floorsWater-based and has a neutral pHSafe for people, pets and planet How to use Purodora Disinfectant and Animal Odor Neutralizer Clean floors and walls with ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Disinfectant and Animal Odor Neutralizer mixed with in 1 gallon (4 L) of water. Eliminating general pet odors in the ambient air A surprising amount of pet odors are actually trapped in the ambient air. Here’s how you can get rid of airborne animal odors in any room of your home. In homes WITH a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Spray the diluted Purodora Disinfectant and Animal Odor Neutralizer on the filters of the ventilation or A/C system or air exchanger. Immediately reinstall the filters while still wet with the product and run the system continuously to distribute the product in the ventilation ducts and throughout the house to eliminate unwanted odors.If you can, respray the filters every 2 hours until the odor is completely gone. In homes WITHOUT a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Spray the diluted Purodora Disinfectant and Animal Odor Neutralizer on a clean cloth and hang over a table or floor fan.Run the fan for one hour in each room where pet odors are present. Keep the windows open, if possible.You can treat multiple rooms at the same time if you have access to more than one fan. Eliminating pet urine odors Unlike general pet odors, which are often present throughout the house, urine odors are usually localized to specific areas – such as in the room where the litter box was kept. However, if the previous tenants had multiple pets – or if the pet was prone to “accidents”, there may be urine odors in more than one room. The first step is to locate the source of the urine odor. PRO TIP If you’re lucky enough to be able to ask the previous owners about the pets, this will make your odor-destroying job easier. Ask questions like: How long have you had pets? Where was the litter box or pee pad located? Did the pet tend to urinate in a specific spot? Did it ever urinate in other places? If you aren’t able to ask the previous tenants, use your nose. Get down on your hands and knees and start sniffing around the most common areas where pets tend to pee: patio doors, windowsills, near heaters, in bathrooms and the laundry room. You might feel a little silly, but your nose will tell you where the dried-up urine is hiding. Once you have found the source of the odor, use a proven urine odor neutralizer like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. Why use Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer: Neutralizes urine (and other odors) on contactEven totally destroys odors that have been ingrained for yearsEasy to use; just spray and walk awayWorks on both hard and soft surfaces: wood, ceramic & concrete floors, mattresses, carpets, sofas and moreWon’t stain fabricsLeaves a pleasant citrus scentAlcohol-based product that evaporates quickly to leave surfaces dryWon’t cause boards to swell and warp (like water-based product)Won’t promote the growth of mold How to use Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer is used in different ways, depending on the surface being treated. Eliminating pet urine odors from low-pile carpets or concrete floors Spray Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer directly on the affected surface and allow to air dry. No rinsing required. Eliminating pet urine odors from thick carpets Make a circle around the affected area and enlarge it by 4 to 5 inches to make sure the product reaches all of the urine. Inject Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer into the base of the carpet with a syringe and needle (it’s easy and it really works!). Start at the outside of the circle and work your way toward the center. Inject roughly 1 tsp (3 to 5 ml) of Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer at 1-inch intervals to make sure the product reaches all of the urine. PRO TIPWhat to do if Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer leaves a dark ring on fabrics Alcohol-based products like Urine Odor Neutralizer can sometimes leave a dark ring on certain colored fabrics where the dye has not set properly. No need to worry! Simply rub the fabric with a damp cloth and the stain will disappear immediately Eliminating pet urine odors from wood or ceramic floors When it comes to wood or ceramic floors, it’s not the boards or tiles where the urine odor is coming from, but the porous grout between the tiles and the spaces between and underneath the boards. You’ll need to get Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer into these small spaces for it to reach and neutralize the urine odor. Use a narrow squirt bottle to get the product into the grout or cracks in the floor with more precision.Wipe off any excess product on the surface of the floor with a damp cloth. Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer will instantly neutralize the urine odor on contact and then quickly evaporate without damaging the grout or causing the boards to swell and warp. Eliminating stubborn pet urine smell from floors Since gravity also works on urine, it may have sunk deeper into the concrete or carpet. In this case, a second treatment may be required. If the odor is coming from a baseboard trim, be sure to insert Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer between the floor and the baseboard using a squirt bottle.If the sections between the wood planks are too tight, you can use a syringe and needle instead of a squirt bottle. Eliminating cigarette smell in house Cigarette smoke can infiltrate just about anything in a home: the ventilation system, between walls, carpets, plastics – you name it. But it can be done, especially with the right products. PRO TIP Before tackling the cigarette odor problem in your home, look for any yellowish streaks on the walls. This might be a sign that the previous occupants smoked heavily or for a long time. A simple household cleaner will not be enough to remove these smoke streaks. A degreaser that’s safe to use on walls will do the trick. We recommend two cigarette odor neutralizers, depending on the type of surface being treated. Both are specifically designed to neutralize the cigarette, cigar and cannabis odors. Eliminating cigarette smell from hard surfaces Why use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces Guaranteed to work (contains a neutralizer specific to smoke odor from cannabis, cigarettes and cigars)Thoroughly cleans dirt and removes nicotine particles from any hard surfaceWater-based concentrated neutralizerBiodegradable and pH neutralSafe for people, pets & homeNo rinsing requiredLeaves a pleasant pine and citrus scent in the air for several hours after use How to use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces Mix ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces with 1 gallon (4 L) of water and clean all hard surfaces (walls, floors, ceilings, cabinets, etc.) with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry. No need to rinse. Be sure to also clean the filters in your range hood. Eliminating cigarette smell from fabric surfaces Why use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics Guaranteed to work (contains a neutralizer specific to smoke odor from cannabis, cigarettes and cigars)Completely eliminates smoke odors in fabrics and other soft surfaces such as upholstered furnitureEasy-to-use product, no diluting or rinsing requiredAlcohol-based neutralizer: works on contact and then quickly evaporates to eliminate the risk of fabrics mildewingWon’t stain fabricsAlso great for use on car seats, carpets & seatbeltsSafe for people, pets & homeLeaves a pleasant peach & sandalwood scent in the air for several hours after use How to use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on carpets, curtains or any other fabric that smells of cigarette smoke. Allow to air dry. No rinsing required. PRO TIP If the previous tenants were heavy smokers, or lived in the home for a long time, the nicotine molecule will probably have infiltrated everywhere – even behind the walls. You may need to repeat the treatment over several days. Don’t lose hope. Within a few days, Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics will reach the entire source of the odor and completely eliminate it. Eliminating cigarette smell from the ambient air In homes WITH a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Option 1. Clean the filters. For best results, soak them in a bucket for 1 hour in 2 to 8 Tbsp. (30 to 120 ml) of Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces mixed with 1 gallon (4 L) of water. (Use the lesser amount of product for light cleaning; the larger amount for deep cleaning). Make sure the filters are completely submerged. Option 2. Replace the filters if they are very old or dirty. Spray the new filters with the diluted Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces. For both options, put the filters immediately back in the system and run it continuously to distribute the product through the system ducts. Re-spray the filters every 2 hours times to completely neutralize the odor in the air ducts and ambient air. PRO TIPAlways use a water-based odor neutralizer to clean filters in a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Using an alcohol-based odor neutralizer could pose a fire risk if the filters are located close to the system’s motor. Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces is water-based, so there’s no risk of fire. In homes WITHOUT a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Spray Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics on a clean cloth and hang it over a fan. Run the fan continuously for one hour in the room. Keep the windows open, if possible.Repeat in each room that smells of smoke. You can treat multiple rooms at the same time if you have access to more than one fan. Eliminating damp and musty smells from the house If the house has been empty or sealed up for a while, it may have acquired a musty smell. Other homes can develop a damp smell – particularly in the basement, the garage or the bathroom. To eliminate this unpleasant smell, we recommend cleaning and treating the air with Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer. It effectively eliminates all musty and damp odors. Why use Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer Guaranteed to workCompletely eliminates damp odors in hard surfaces (concrete, wood, walls or ceilings)Easy-to-use product, no rinsing requiredAlso great for use on carpetsSafe for people, pets & homeLeaves a pleasant herbs & peach scent in the air for several hours after use How to use Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer Step 1: Find out what’s causing the odor If you’re noticing a damp smell in your home, the very first thing you should do is try to identify and locate the source of the smell as it may be hiding a larger problem that will need to be fixed. Otherwise, the damp smell will just keep returning. PRO TIP If you can’t pinpoint the exact source of the problem, start by treating the air in your home. It might make it easier to identify where the smell is coming from. Eliminating damp and musty smells from hard surfaces Dilute ½ cup (120 ml) of Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer in 1 gallon (4 L) of warm water and clean all hard surfaces (floors, cabinets, walls). Eliminating damp and musty smells from raw wood, plywood and metal Spray the diluted Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer directly on the surface and allow to work. Eliminating damp and musty smells from the ambient air In homes WITH a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Spray the new filters with the diluted Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer. Put the filters back in the system while still wet with the product and run it continuously to distribute the product through the system ducts. Re-spray the filters every 2 hours times to completely neutralize the odor in the air ducts and ambient air. In homes WITHOUT a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Spray the diluted Purodora Damp Odor Neutralizer on a clean cloth and hang it over a fan. Run the fan continuously for one hour in the room. If possible, keep the windows open.Repeat in each room with a damp or musty smell. You can treat multiple rooms at the same time if you have access to more than one fan. What to do if you still smell the odor after a couple of treatments Don’t worry. Just be patient and keep at it. It can take up to several days to completely eliminate the smell of smoke from a home – especially if the cigarette smell has been around for a long time. Don’t get discouraged. If 75% of the smell is gone within a few days, it means the treatment is working, but that there are still some nicotine particles left to neutralize. Keep treating the surfaces or rooms. Eventually you will eliminate 100% of the cigarette smell from your home, once and for all.

My Cat Pees Outside its Litter – What Should I Do?
Oh-oh. Is Nacho doing his business outside his litter box? Before you give him a stern talking to, know that this is a common problem among cats. In fact, we get asked how to remove cat pee smell ALL. THE. TIME. Read on for tips on how to prevent your cat from peeing all over the place and how you can stop your house from reeking of cat urine. Why is my cat peeing outside his litter box? We asked Daniel Fillion, feline behavior consultant at EduCATor, why a cat might pee outside its litter box. It turns out that there can be lots of reasons, but the two main ones are anxiety and the cat’s environment. This can be anything from a new guest, a new house or a new daily routine. Could your cat’s not wanting to pee in the litter box be health-related? Sometimes a health problem is behind the cat relieving itself outside the litter box. If in doubt, consult your veterinarian. And once you’ve eliminated this possibility, don’t punish your cat! Chances are it won’t understand why it's being punished, and if your cat is suffering from anxiety, this might only create even more anxiety, making the peeing problem worse. Litter box dos and don’ts Sometimes the litter box itself is the source of the problem. DODON’TAlways have as many litter boxes as cats, plus one (e.g. if you have two cats, you need to have three litter trays.)Use a flat litter box without a cover (cats want to monitor their surroundings at all times).Clean the litter box every single day.Add the right amount of litter; 1-2 inches is enough.Put multiple litter boxes in the same room.Put litter trays in a busy area of the housePut litter trays in an isolated corner where your cat never goes.Put the litter tray near the cat’s feeding area.Let other animals pick at the cat while it’s in the litter box. What should I do when my cat pees outside its litter box? It can sometimes take a while to get to the bottom of your cat’s peeing problem and actually resolve it. Until then, hang in there and follow these 3 recommendations: Every time your cat urinates outside of its litter box, clean it up as quickly as possible. When cats urinate, they release a pheromone that can incite it or another cat to relieve itself on that same spot. Use a safe and proven cat urine remover like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer to completely eliminate the cat pee smell from your home (see recommendations below). If your cat keeps peeing in the same spot, consider temporarily putting a litter box at that exact spot. If needed, you can slowly inch it over to a location that’s more convenient. What’s the best cat urine remover? We recommend Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. Here’s why: #1 pet urine remover of pet ownersNeutralizes the smell of animal pee on any surfaceAlcohol-based, so won’t damage surfaces; unlike water-based urine odor neutralizersSafe to use on concrete, wood, ceramic, carpets, mattresses, upholstery & more 3 ways to use Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer: 1.

Ce produit est formulé spécifiquement pour éliminer l’odeur de cigarette dans l’air ambiant et dans la maison.

Cigarette Smell Coming from Neighbor: 3 Ways to Minimize Cigarette Odors
Lots of smokers look for proven ways to get rid of cigarette smells in their home or car. But sometimes non-smokers need to eliminate cigarette odors, too. Such as apartment and condo dwellers who have a neighbor that smokes. Eliminating a neighbor’s second-hand smoke can be tricky. But there are a few easy ways to reduce the cigarette smell in your apartment, condo, townhouse – or even detached home. This article explains how. 1. Stop cigarette smells from entering through your windows Many smokers prefer to smoke outside, such as on their balcony. Or, in bad weather, they’ll sit by an open window and blow the smoke outside. If your balcony door or window is close to that of your neighbour, tobacco odors can easily seep into your apartment this way. Fix: Close all “smoke-entry” windows and doors whenever your neighbor smokes. If you want to air out your apartment, open windows as far from your neighbour’s smoking as possible. This will help prevent tobacco smells from entering your home. 2. Clean the filters on your stove hood, air exchanger or ventilation system Odors can easily seep from one apartment to another – even in buildings that are well insulated. Smoke is especially good at travelling through small holes in walls, plumbing systems and ventilation ducts. If you’ve ever noticed a cigarette smell in your bathroom – or around your range hood, air exchanger or ventilation system – these entry points are probably where the smoke smell is coming from. Fix: Clean the filters with Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces. This all-purpose cleaner contains an odor neutralizer that specifically targets tobacco odors. If you’re a condo owner, consider sealing any gaps or spaces that cigarette smoke may be seeping through. You can ask your smoking neighbor to do the same in their unit to create a better seal to minimize the spread of cigarette odors. If you’re a tenant, talk to your landlord first. 3. Use an odor neutralizer, not an air freshener If you want to truly remove the smell of cigarettes from the ambient air in your apartment or condo, you need to use an odor neutralizer, not an air freshener. Air fresheners use scents to temporarily mask unwanted odors. In contrast, odor neutralizers bond with and modify the odor-causing molecules so there’s no odor left at all. To eliminate smoke smells from fabrics: Use Smoke Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics & Ambient Air. Simply spray it on clothes, curtains or fabric furniture smelling of tobacco and let the product act. No need to rinse. To eliminate smoke smells in the ambient air in your apartment or condo: If you have a ventilation system or air exchanger system, spray the filter with Smoke Cleaner & Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics & Ambient Air. This is the easiest way to eliminate smoke odors. As the system runs, it will circulate the product throughout your apartment. After this initial treatment, you can simply respray the filters as needed. Don’t have a ventilation system? Spray Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Fabrics & Ambient Air on a clean cloth. Simply hang the cloth over a pedestal fan and run it for an hour or so in every room that smells of tobacco. Pro tip You may need to repeat the process a few times for the product to treat all the air in the room, but don’t worry – it will do the trick. The longer you run the fan, the more the product will spread throughout the room and come into contact with all the nicotine-smelling particles. You can repeat this treatment from time to time whenever you notice the cigarette smell returning. Breathing easy when you have a neighbor who smokes Eliminating a neighbor’s second-hand smoke can be tricky. Air fresheners only layer one smell on top of another, and odor neutralizers need to come into contact the source of the smell to be 100% effective. You may never be able to get rid of your neighbor’s cigarette smell completely, but the above tips will help you keep the smell to a minimum. You’ll be able to breathe easy – until your neighbor finally quits smoking, or you find a new place to live.

When it comes to eliminating any unwanted smell – tobacco or otherwise – you have to locate the source of the odor and neutralize it. Unfortunately, few products sold in stores are odor neutralizers; they simply mask or deodorize the smell. Some merely create an unpleasant mix of odors that can actually make the situation worse. Even if these products do work for a while, the cigarette smell will eventually return.
