You may have noticed that dogs have a distinct smell. When you're in your home, you might occasionally recognise a familiar smell. This could be a patch on the carpet or a pet hair comforter.

Smells can come from pet hair and dander, so take a vacuum to all those surfaces pets love—we’re talkin’ corners of the room and deep in those couch crevices–then spray fabrics and carpets with Fabric Refresher Pet Odor Fighter to keep them fresh. Got hardwoods or tile? Ditch the vacuum and go for a Swiffer® Sweeper. (And don’t forget about all the tumbleweeds of dog or cat hair piled up in the corners of your floors.) None of our fragrances are tested on animals. Never use fragrance oils directly on your skin; they must be diluted in a product or solvent first. Never consume any of our fragrances.
