So you walked in and you knew that this house was not just any home, it was to be your new home. It has the perfect floor plan and all the biggies on your must have list. The only problem is that your new home has pet odour. Here are 4 things you can do to get rid of the pet odour and start living in your dream home.

Have Your Home Professionally Cleaned--Hiring a company to clean before you move in will allow them to clean everywhere rather than having to ignore areas that are behind or under furniture. This should include the entire house-steaming carpets, wiping down walls and surfaces, cleaning windows, sanitizing the inside of cabinets and drawers, and vacuuming. This gets rid of many of the odours left from the previous owners including their pets. Remove Carpets-If cleaning doesn't work, removing the carpet and the padding is the next and more expensive step. It's important to wait for several days to see if this clears the smell. If you are still able to smell odour, it may be coming from the sub flooring. Contact a contractor or home builder to determine if a new sub floor will solve the problem.

Paint-Sometimes a pet's aim can be bad and urine and other unpleasant and odoriferous things can wind up on the wall. If a favourite spot on the wall was chosen, it can be pretty tricky to pinpoint the exact spot. A coat of paint may help seal the odour in the room that you suspect was a favourite for the previous owner's pet.

Filter Your Air With A Pet Odour Air Purifier--Opening your door to unpleasant odour can make coming home less than appealing. Filtering the air allows your home to smell clean while you continue to search for problem spots. Using an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove pet urine odours is an immediate solution. Continuously filtering the air buys you time to find and neutralize the offending spots.

An air cleaner that has multiple filters will remove not only odour but fine particulates that are common in the cleanest of homes. So by selecting a filter that has a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter you will also be removing airborne dust, dust mites, mould and mildew spores, as well as bacteria and viruses as small as.3 microns. A cleaner with interchangeable filters will also allow you to replace the pet odour filter that is mainly designed for allergies, or chemical sensitivities.

Finding, removing, and neutralizing pet odour in a new home or any home is far from an exact science, but by using a combination of these 4 suggestions you will be able to enjoy your new home without the pet odour.
