Air fresheners are the most common pet odor products on the market today. They freshen the air by adding a more pleasant scent. But what may be a pleasant scent to one person may not be to another. For that reason, dozens of scents are offered to the consumer.

Why don't they work? Its simple, they do not go to the source of the odor. They just mask the air in the room, giving instant results, and failing to eliminate the odor on a permanent basis. Even worse, most of these products give off harmful VOC's that can affect your health or the health of your children or pets.

Odor Eliminators are different. You apply them directly to the odor source, and your odor problem is eliminated. The best ones are odorless themselves, allowing you to eliminate the foul odor without adding another scent. You will want to find an odor eliminator that is EPA approved. Look for a product that will do the job and not harm either you or your pet. Don't just take the word of the manufacturer. You want something that has been tested and really works.

Look for Green products. These products do not contain harmful chemicals and will not adversely affect your health or the health of your pet. Many products make claims they can't back up. Look for government approval. That means the product has been tested and that the claims are valid.

Toxic chemicals commonly used for so many years are now being replaced by Green Cleaning products. As a result of this recent advancement in technology, products that are not harmful to people or pets are becoming more commonplace. But remember, don't be fooled by a slick marketing program. Look for that all important certivication. It seperates the great products from the less than effective ones.
