My dog Chase is the prince of our home, and he knows it.
He’s a 25-kilo staffy who’s convinced he’s a lap dog (and who are we to say otherwise?). His favourite place in the entire world is our sofa.
I wouldn’t have it any other way, but there is one teeny tiny issue: Chase is scared of baths.
In fact, he detests water in nearly all its forms, from puddles to rain to getting splashed when he drinks from his water bowl (now he drinks from a ridiculous little ramekin to control said issue).
This is all to say that, while he’s far from the world’s smelliest dog, he’s definitely not the freshest either.
And his musk has turned our lovely velvet sofa into the stinkiest thing in our home by a country mile. After all, you can put lots of dog beds (ours included) in the wash. You can’t run a sofa on a spin cycle.
We’ve tried loads of things, from enzyme cleaners to old-fashioned soap and water, and nothing seemed to make a proper, lasting dent in the scent.
That was until I tried Skout’s Honor Odor Eliminator Spray. At just £10, it’s far and away the best pet odour-busting product I’ve tried.
The spray works by destroying odour molecules on contact, and even works on airborne smells.
It gets rid of his musk instantly and its effects linger too, which means it keeps up with the fact that Chase spends about 85% of his life on the sofa.
The odour eliminator leaves behind a vaguely medical-smelling scent, but it’s more than worth it to get rid of the stink my lovely pup emits.
It’s also worked a treat on our rug, which is where Chasey brings all his food and chew toys to destroy – and therefore soaks up a hefty amount of stink in its own right.
From the car to your bins, you can pretty much use this £10 spray wherever you find a smell you don’t care for. Just be careful using it on silk, leather, wool, and natural wood surfaces, since it can be too harsh for them.
It’s so easy to use – you just need to spray it liberally onto the offending surface, wipe off any residue, and mist the air around the smell for good measure.
And with that, even the stink of a smelly staffy who’s barely glanced at soap for months is gone!
