help!

ok, so a few posts ago i blogged about having this weird dog like order that is faint but i notice it big time when you first walk in the door. This is when i hate renting because there can be funky smells from the previous tenant. We have been in our place for almost a month and I have DEEP DEEP cleaned a lot (i am a little ocd about cleaning), lysol like crazy, have scentsy's i use, there is this odor gel jar thing from bed, bath and beyond that is supposed to eliminate all orders, and the wallflower in the odor eliminator scent (thought this helped but didn't completely elminate it). But NOTHING has completely gotten rid of this smell and i seriously might go nuts!!!

Here's my question, does anyone have any other ideas of how to rid odors, especially dog/pet smells in a house? I didn't grow up with pets, will never own a pet and yet i have this pet smell that is driving me insane. I have heard on tv that if you put a raw peeled onion in a space it will work but smell like onions for a few days, ever heard of that? I am open to ALL ideas!

( I am sorry if I have offended anyone with pets, I am sure your house smells great and that your pets are very nice animals. )

sincerely,
desperate renter

You could try the plug-ins from the Body Shop...my Canberry scent works wonders on the girls' dirty diapers! :) Good luck! That seriously stinks! :)

We have a stinky pet ;)

I'd get your carpets cleaned - if you have carpets. I'm talking the type that comes in your door with a giant hose. It needs to be steam cleaned. The cleaner (if you ask him) will have a special chemical for pets or biological stains (lol) that will take odor out. Bill it to the landlord!

Also, there is a wall paint now that has either baking soda or a fragrance. Put a coat of that up.

If both of those don't work, sounds like you need to find a new place to live lovie!

you could try doTERRA's essential oil blend "purify". it eliminates odors and icky things. you just put some drops in a water bottle and spray spray away! i'm sorry, that's a gross thing to have to deal with - especially when it's not yours!

put a open bottle or glass on a table or a thing like that in the room that smells, and put azijn in it, maybe it isn't the good english word, so if you don't get me
put in a translate machine:
dutch english
azijn
