Donating YT 2000 Club Member | For those with more than one..(dog oders) How do you keep your house from smelling like dog? What products do you use? I am so afriad my house smells like a dog house. I would love to have another male and sometime soon but afraid of the smell. Do you have a room or area you put your dogs when your gone?

| I use bath and body works wallflowers just for an overall scent in the house. I really never smell dog in my house and nobody has ever said anything about it. I do bathe my dogs every week or two and wipe their paws and dry them after being outside if they are wet. i keep my dogs in the kithen in an x pen when I am gone. When he has had an accident i use this oxy clean pet stain odor remover and that works good. |

| My husband also hates the smell of odorban but I still use it! I'm always worried that my house might smell like dog. I spray my furniture with anything that smells good. I also have Plug In's in almost every outlet in every room. I also burn yankee candles. The little tarts Especially if I am expecting company.

| I have 4 yorkies so i have to use lots of air fresheners. I use the lysol automatic ones that sprays every so many minutes and they work great but are expensive to refill but worth it. I have one in every room of my house and 2 in the living room. I also use febreeze. Mine are housetrained and are crated when im gone and they sleep in their crates at night. I worry about the smell too but my babies are more important. I figure if anybody thinks they smell dog and they dont like it, then they can just turn around and walk right back out the door LOL...im from WV too |

| Mister Clean has a product that really smells great.. I use it on my tile floors and it's really clean smell.. I ran out and will buy more.. I put it in a squirt bottle and spray floor then run my mop over it.. Leaves a nice smell and the tile shinny when dry. People think I've wax or something.. Hope this helps.. |

| Do you have only Yorkies or other dogs as well? I have four, but I never have any dog smells. One thing I really love about Yorkies is they don't smell like dogs. It seems like dogs that have an undercoat have that "dog smell" even the day after you bathe them. My Yorkies smell sort of like stuffed animals, the same as my cats. I use Oust air freshener, but that's basically just because I like the scent. Are you noticing a smell yourself, or just wondering if other people do? From my experience, people who worry about their houses being clean and smelling nice usually have the cleanest and nicest-smelling houses. You're probably just being too hard on yourself |

| I use vinegar and water mixture to clean hardwood and tiled floors, it seems to kill odors and also any mold and bacterica that may be around. Of course the smell of the vinegar itself stinks but after everything is dried to works pretty well.
