Pet smell before guests arrive? 7 things worth changing.
The tidy room, the fresh towels, the familiar smell from the sofa. Here’s where to put your attention next.
The message says, “We’re on our way.” You straighten the cushions, put the kettle on—and reach for something to make the room smell better.
Before adding another scent, check what needs cleaning or deodorizing. These seven changes put the focus on the places your pet uses, with a closer look at the Pawce device along the way.
Look under their favorite blanket.
You may have washed the throw while overlooking the upholstery underneath it. The bed cover, sofa cushion and fabric seat are all worth checking separately.
Start with the spot where you actually notice an odor. That gives you a more useful next step than spraying fragrance across the room.
Check the places they settle into every day.
Give that fabric its own treatment.
Pawce applies a deodorizing enzyme refill to compatible household fabrics. The aim is to put odor care on the material that needs it.
Enzymes in cleaning formulas act on particular organic residues. The formulation and directions matter, so use the recommended refill and follow its instructions. [1]
Deodorizing starts with the formula.
Let the device do the misting.
With a trigger bottle, your hand makes each spray. Pawce uses an electric device to produce the mist while you guide the applicator.
It is a different way to apply the liquid. Direct it at the area you want to treat, using the refill instructions for application and drying.
Guide the device across the area that needs attention.
Check the seat after the park trip.
The dog comes home from the park. The car seat comes along for the ride, too—and can be easy to forget in a household cleaning routine.
The handheld Pawce device can be brought to compatible fabric seats. Check the upholstery label and patch-test first, just as you would indoors.
Add the car to your list of places to check.
Leave out perfume when you prefer.
A fresher room doesn’t have to carry a new fragrance. If you prefer to keep the scent of your home understated, Pure is Pawce’s fragrance-free refill.
Fresh Linen and Soft Citrus are alternatives when you want a scented finish. Choose the finish separately from the job of deodorizing.
You decide whether to add a scent.
Replenish the liquid. Keep the tool.
A finished refill does not mean the device is finished. Pawce is designed to be replenished and used again.
Store it and its refill according to the directions, ready for the next time an everyday spot needs attention. There is no need to replace the applicator each time.
One familiar tool you can keep coming back to.
Move the job out of the last-minute rush.
Build a check of the pet bed and sofa into your usual tidy-up. Wash what is washable, remove loose hair and visible mess, and treat suitable fabrics when they need odor care.
Allow the required application and drying time. A regular routine gives you one less job to start when someone is already on the way.
Make time for the fabric before making plans for the room.
Freshen their spot. Then get on with your plans.
Start with the fabric that needs attention. The Pawce device adds a directed mist application to the cleaning routine you already have.
Explore the Pawce deviceGood questions to ask.
Can I use it on an upholstery fabric I haven’t treated before?
Check both the fabric-care label and refill directions. Test an inconspicuous area first and use only on compatible surfaces.
Can I use the seat straight after misting?
Follow the refill and fabric-care instructions for application and drying before the seat is used again.
Can I fill it with a different cleaner?
Use the Pawce refill specified for the device. Do not assume another liquid will be suitable for mist application.
