With summer just around the corner, it's time to let your furry companion enjoy the great outdoors! In Northwest Georgia, many of us view our dogs as part of the family. Whether they join us on adventures, walks, or car rides, our furry friends hold a special place in our hearts.

Despite our love for them, dealing with their persistent odor, especially after being indoors during the winter months, can be challenging. Even when our dogs are outside, the smell tends to linger. To ensure your home smells fresh and inviting for summer guests, here are some useful suggestions:

Helpful tips to reduce pet odor in your home

To ensure your home smells fresh and inviting for summer guests, consider these useful tips:

Clean any surfaces and furniture your dog touches.

Consider getting a handheld vacuum to effectively eliminate pet hair and odors from sofas, chairs, and other spots frequented by your furry companion.

By removing cushions and pillows, you can:

• Reach hidden spots under the cushions
• Thoroughly vacuum and clean each pillow and cushion separately for a more thorough cleaning

Though this cleaning task may seem minor, it can significantly improve the impression your home makes on guests.
