Whether your dog comes in after rolling in foul smelling things he shouldn't, is a puppy still learning the ropes, or is an older beloved dog that sometimes makes mistakes-dog odor happens. Here are 5 reasons to use an air purifier to remove dog odor from the air in your home.
Dogs Will Be Dogs
This is not an excuse but a truism. If your dog likes to roll in things he shouldn't when he's outside, you're probably not going to be able to change that behavior. And until your puppy has an understanding of where he should and should not go there are likely to be accidents. And if you have an older dog, the accidents are unintentional and often uncontrollable, but they happen none the less. So using an air purifier eliminates the odor and gives you time to clean up the source.
Source Not Easily Eliminated
Depending on where the mistake is made, it is not always easily or completely able to be cleaned away. When this happens, short of pulling up the carpet, or refinishing the floors, some urine remains and continues to smell, so filtering the air becomes a cost effective solution.
Non-Toxic
As a dog owner you are probably extremely careful with the products that you introduce into your home-cleaning solutions for carpets, floors, bathroom toilets (particularly if your dog drinks out of the toilet),--any product that might effect your dog. An air purifier made of steel with a baked on powder coat finish only produces fresh clean air as a by product unlike some purifiers made of plastic which emit harmful chemicals once the motor heats up the plastic. Steel construction also means that your puppies and dogs are unable to chew off small pieces that could cause them or a small child to choke.
Works Constantly
To keep odors away, your air needs to be filtered constantly. A motor that is rated for high continuous use is the key to a purifier being able to operate efficiently and effectively 24 hours a day every day. Being able to continuously filter your air means dog odor never has a chance to build up to embarrassing levels and that your air smells fresh and clean regardless of the mistakes your dogs have made.
Removes Other Pollutants
A high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air purifier not only removes dog odor but other airborne pollutants associated with dogs like dog dander and hair, and puppy fur too. In addition a HEPA purifier will remove household pollutants like dust, dust mite, mold and pollen spores, bacteria and viruses as small as .3 microns. So by cleaning your air not only are you eliminating dog odor but other airborne pollutants as well.
