With the summer season here, it's time to let your furry friend 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 four-legged companions hold a special place in our hearts. Despite our love for our dogs, their persistent odor can be a challenge, especially after being indoors during the winter months. Even when our furry pals spend time outside, the smell can linger.

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.

Invest in a handheld vacuum to effectively eliminate pet hair and odors from couches, chairs, and other areas your dog frequents. 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.

For professional help beyond your cleaning abilities, think about taking your furniture or rugs to your local SERVPRO® of Chattooga, Dade, and Walker Counties to kick off summer with a fresh, clean home!
