Removing dog odor from your couch and carpet: here's how to do it

Sofas and carpets are often the biggest odor traps in the home. Especially when your dog lies there regularly, dog odor can become deeply embedded. Anyone looking to remove dog odor needs to know why textiles play such a major role.

Why odors get trapped in furniture

Porous materials

Fabric sofas and carpets contain fibers that retain odors. Surface cleaning is often not enough.

Heat and usage

Body heat and daily use cause odor molecules to be released over and over again.

What actually helps with dog odor in textiles

Deep cleaning as a foundation

A thorough cleaning helps, but it does not permanently solve the problem.

Air support

By keeping the air continuously fresh, you prevent odors from furniture from continuing to spread.
