<h1>Cat Urine, Dog Smell, and Bird Odor--Why Do I Still Smell It?</h1>

You scrub, mop, vacuum and still…that dog, cat or bird odor is still there, and you still have allergies. Why is that pet smell still there, and what can be done to remove / eliminate the odor, and the allergies that go with it?!

Well, there is something that can be done. And you’re right if you think dander, smells, and allergies are connected, because they usually are. It may sound overly simplistic, but the main reason you still smell pet or cat urine, dog urine, bird ‘odor’, etc., even after using a variety of cleaners is very simple:  It is because the airborne particles and chemical molecules that cause pet odor and allergies are still there. Keep in mind that, like humans, an animal is always breathing (through the nose and through the skin) which releases odors as the chemicals in the exhaled air and gases from the skin evaporate.

Animals have scent glands and oils they use to mark territories, which release odor. Another source of odor is the the fact that dander and urine / scent oils are still lodged in carpets, couches, leather, between the tiles, at the edges of the flooring, etc. Cat and dog urine is especially concentrated and contains a large amount of waste ‘chemicals’ that are very hard to completely remove, even with the best cleaners. 

A surprising source of pet smell is cat and dog saliva. Dogs are always drooling, dripping saliva, and touching wet noses to things, and cats are constantly rubbing saliva on doorways, cabinets, furniture, other household objects, often when you’re not looking. That saliva, along with the scent oils in the skin around their whiskers, contains odors, chemicals, scent oils, dander, bacteria, etc—all things that create pet odor.  Birds are constantly moving their wings, releasing bird dust or dander into the air, too.
 
So unless you are cleaning your house from top to bottom, walls, carpets, couches, floors, etc., on a daily basis, the only logical way to truly control, eliminate, or remove pet smell  (and allergies) is to use pet air purifiers that are designed to remove the airborne dander, scent oils, saliva, urine, etc., that cause pet smells to linger.

Pet air purifiers have HEPA filters for removing over 99% of the dander/hair from the air, carbon filters to remove pet odors like cat urine smell, etc, and the best units also use healthy negative ions (not ozone) that destroy bacteria, help prevent particles/dander from floating around, and help neutralize smells.  One of the best, low cost pet air purifiers we have tested is the Winix WAC9500 Ultimate Pet Air Cleaner.This purifier has all of the features necessary for removing pet smells / odors, comes with a remote, automatic air sensors, filter change indicator, and more.  The Austin Air Pet Machine also does a great job of removing pet smells/odors/dander, etc, with a powerful HEPA filter and 15 pounds of smell/odor eliminating carbon.

So as you can see, to eliminate, remove, or control pet smells, it's a two-part process: surface cleaning and using a pet air cleaner.  And by using air purifiers designed for removing pet dander / odors / smells, you can actually reduce the amount of surface cleaning!
