Stay tuned for some great tips and see some adoptable pets here at FOTAS

Yes, the good ole Sniff test needs to be done but not by YOU. Recruit a real candid friend for an honest opinion or a trusted REALTOR.

 

We’re here with Steve Block one of our licensed team members who has a vast amount of past experience and knowledge in the Pet industry. Steve has some valuable tips even if not selling a home. Yes, we do love our 4-legged family members, but when it comes to unwanted smells in our house, our 4-legged kids are usually the culprit.

Let’s start with our Feline Friends which can be a tricky odor to get rid of.

I have 4 tips for help with cat odors.

1. It is all about litter boxes.  Keeping litter boxes scooped daily and then completely cleaned and refreshed with new litter weekly is a great plan.
2. The BEST litter boxes out there for controlling odors are auto scoop boxes.  They automatically scoop when used and keep the box fresh.
3.  TYPE of litter box, what material it made from
4.  Best litter and truly helps the “smell” to use premium clumping litter.  The clumps seal in the odor and keep the ammonia smell at a minimum.

Steve’s has 5 helpful tips for fido

1. Wash your pet
2. Do not forget to wash their collars and harnesses; they can get a funky smell too.
3. Thoroughly clean all their bedding or any areas they lay on.
4. Use refreshening sprays and deodorizers between washings reduces lingering odors.
5. For potty accident clean up.  The biggest mistake people make is not cleaning spots up correctly.  Use a product that has enzymes designed for eliminating stains and odors is the key.

 

Steve, can you share some brands that worked for you? Brands like Nature’s Miracle, Simple Solutions, and Angry Orange are a few of many good choices out there.  Following the label instructions to the letter is a must, otherwise the products won’t work and will cause you frustrations.

 Is it true Most brands have options for both dog and cat options? Yes

 

We saved the best for last to show off some “adoptable dogs and cats”. 

Here is Kathy Jacobs who will introduce a couple furry friends.

Furry family always bring extras love and happiness into a home.

 Hope you enjoyed hearing these simple steps to keep your home smelling fresh and that will benefit your home selling journey.

It’s a BIG decision, we know! We’re here to help!
