Fight the Funk: Reducing Pet Odors and Allergens


To help pet owners create a space that's both comfortable for their furry companions and inviting for guests, HVAC expert and IQAir CEO Glory Dolphin Hammes recommends the following strategies for combating pet odors.


Proper Ventilation: Good ventilation is a fundamental step to tackle pet odors. Open windows and use fans to allow fresh air to circulate, minimizing odors in your living spaces.


Have a regular cleaning routine: Having a consistent cleaning schedule is also important. Regularly clean pet bedding, litter boxes, and other pet-accessible areas to prevent odors from settling in.


Effective Air Purification: It's important to use high-quality air purifiers with HEPA filters to remove pet dander, hair, and airborne particles that contribute to odors.


Odor-Neutralizing Products: We recommend using pet-friendly, odor-neutralizing products like enzyme-based cleaners to break down odor-causing molecules at their source, rather than masking the smell.


Pet Grooming: A well-groomed pet sheds less and is less likely to carry allergens and odors from outdoors into your home.


Strategic Placement of Air Purifiers: Strategic placement of air purifiers near pet items

like litter boxes, food bowls, and beds will minimize their impact on the overall ambiance of your home.


Washable and Reusable Fabrics: Use washable, odor-resistant fabrics for pet bedding and furniture covers to make it easier to eliminate odors through regular cleaning.
