How to remove pet stains and odors from pet bathtub

Everyone loves to have a clean pet. It’s the best thing ever being able to smell them when they’re all nice and fresh. But what’s left in the aftermath of the bath can be daunting. Back in the bathroom where the beloved pet was just cleaned, there is the infamous “wet dog” smell, and in many, if not most cases, stains in the bath tub from the bath the pup just had. All the dirt that was caked in their fur is now lining the walls of the bath tub that was once so clean. Where to begin! Well, the following article will give some insight on how to get rid of pet odors in the bathroom, and pet stains in the bathtub after a bath.

What Is Needed:

• Clean towel

• Scrubber

• Cleaning solution (w/ pet specifics or not)

• Possibly vinegar and baking soda

• Candle or air freshener

Clean, Clean, Clean

1. First and foremost, the bath tub must be rinsed out. Turn on the shower head and let it run for a few minutes, make sure the water gets most of what it can down the drain. Once all the big stuff is out of the way, the deep cleaning part can begin.

2. Before cleaning, open up a window to allow some fresh air. It’ll air out the wet pet odor, as well as the strong cleaning scent that fills a bathroom when cleaning.

3. Next, time for a cleaning solution and a nice scrub. There are many different kinds of cleaning products designed especially for pet odors and stains. So, one of those may be the best idea when cleaning up after a dog bath. However, a mixture of vinegar and baking soda works as a great cleaner as well if someone would rather go the more natural cleaner route.

4. After using a cleaner on the tub, it’s always best to rinse the tub with water again.

5. Once that’s been done, the rest of the bathroom can be taken care of. Start by cleaning all the towels out of the bathroom that were used to dry the pup. By getting them out of that small space, the odor already starts to be eliminated.

6. Next, do a quick wipe down of the floor to pick up any water, or loose hair that fell out when drying your dog after the bath.

7. Finish by setting up a candle or spraying some air freshener and leave the fan on so the air can circulate the odor can be dissipate.

After the bathroom has been cleaned of the pet stains and odors, it’s much more enjoyable place. The wet dog smell can be one that sticks around for a while, so make sure to clean as soon as possible so it doesn’t just sit there. But the cleaning shouldn’t take too long, as long as the pet wasn’t too filthy. Afterwards, not only can a clean bathroom be enjoyed, but so can a clean pet!
