You're having people over soon but your house smells like wet dog. Reach for your clove and cinnamon powder!
To make our house smell amazing after the animals have stunk it up with that undeniable pet smell(especially after Maya our dog has been out in the rain) I take a small pot and put some water in it. I sprinkle on cinnamon powder and clove powder(amounts depend on how much your house smells) and heat the water to boiling. I then let it sit and steep in the hot water and the house ends up smelling like Christmas! It's amazing and a nice alternative to chemical filled air fresheners!
Some people don't like the smell of cloves so you could just ditch that part. You could probably do slices of orange or apple with the cinnamon, though if you are using fresh fruit you may want to boil for a bit longer.
I saw both cinnamon and clove powder for sale at the dollar tree the other day, so this is a very cheap trick.
Note: you can also use steeped herbs to make your dog smell better as well. I use a rosemary rinse now weekly as it repels fleas as well as making your dog smell a bit better :) I will update later with a list of herbs safe to use on your dog or cat.
