Pet Odors Can Degrade Indoor Air Quality in Ways Other Than “Wet Dog Smell”. That lingering litter box stench or “wet dog smell” may seem innocuous. Pet odors can have an impact on the air you breathe, so they’re more than simply an annoyance.
Here are some things to consider if you have dogs in your home.
Where It Builds Up (And Why You Don’t Notice)
Pet odors don’t just float in the air; they settle into surfaces all over your home, often in places you wouldn’t expect.
What’s Hiding in Pet Odors?
Fur isn’t the only source of pet odor. It is caused by:
- Natural oils for the body
- Drool and saliva
- Feces and urine (even minute traces)
- Dander contaminated with allergies and bacteria
How Odours Pollute the Air?
- Rooms that are stuffy and smell stale
- There is more dander and dust in the air.
- Causes of allergies and asthma
- HVAC systems that are overworked and emitting odors
Therefore, even though it could merely “smell like dog,” you’re also inhaling the source of the odor.
Common Problem Areas
Why Basic Cleaning Isn’t Enough?
Air fresheners and surface mopping only mask odors. They don’t remove the bacteria and odor-causing particles lodged deep in fibers, grout, or vents. That’s where professional cleaning makes the difference.
