Getting Ready for Last Minute Guests When You Have Pets

Getting Ready for Last Minute Guests When You Have Pets

Happy National Pet Month! I can’t imagine life without our little Lucy dog. Lucy is just part of the fam, and for the time being, so is Chloe (my parent’s dog whom we’re dog sitting for the year). In my years of working with Swiffer one thing is for sure, and that is they have a love for pets! They truly want consumers to adopt and/or keep on loving their pets, without the worry of messes or odors. Swiffer and Febreze products definitely make being a pet owner so much easier. You can spend less time stressing and cleaning, and more time loving on your kiddos and pets. Getting ready for last minute guests when you have pets can be easy with Febreze AIR and Febreze FABRIC Pet Odor Eliminator and Swiffer Sweeper Dry and Wet Pet Refills with Febreze Odor Defense that Trap + Lock.

Pet odor is one thing, but when you double that up with teenage boy odor you are really in for all the smells. My oldest son’s bedroom is right near the front door so I’m always aware of the smells coming from his room. While our dogs bed hop throughout the house, the room they spend the most time in is my son’s. I don’t want visitors to smell boy and dog right when they come in our home. Trust me, it’s happened!

I love keeping a bottle of Febreze FABRIC Pet Odor Eliminator in my son’s room so he can spritz away the unpleasant odors that arise on a regular basis. The blankets he and the dogs share atop his bed can get quite smelly if we don’t stay on top of it. The Febreze FABRIC Pet Odor Eliminator is “Paw-fect” for hard-to-wash fabrics such as dog beds, upholstery, carpets and blankets. A few spritzes can go a long way;  just spray until damp for optimal odor elimination. This is the perfect solution for some of the more delicate blankets we have, and not to mention pillows!

Having something to spritz on the hard-to-wash items is amazing so we can preserve some of our household items. I don’t like to over wash some items because then they breakdown so much more quickly. Not to say odor removal should replace washing, but a little spritz to help with the odor when guests are arriving is amazing.

Whether pet hair, litter boxes, food messes or odors are keeping you from getting or loving on a pet, Swiffer and Febreze have an arsenal of amazing products to help. I like to be able to get company-ready in no time at all and I can’t tell you how many times Swiffer products have saved my bacon.  Lately we’ve become quite fond of using the Swiffer Sweeper Dry and Wet Pet Refills with Febreze Odor Defense that Trap + Lock to tackle the floors everywhere the dogs and us have been! A quick mop of the floor with Swiffer and a spritz with Febreze and we’re almost ready for anything. Now to have cookies constantly baking, right?

Pick up all your favorite Swiffer and Febreze products at Kroger on your regular shopping trips! Swiffer and Febreze love their pets so they’ve tested their products to ensure pet safety. I love knowing that Febreze is safe and effective for your pet odor (and teenage boy odor) that gets left on those fabrics you don’t want to constantly wash.

    My dog does not usually shed but he gives off that body odor especially when there is a female dog in heat nearby. I will have to get some of that febreeze fabric pet odor eliminator. That will surely take care of pet odors when I am pressed for time.
