Activated charcoal works great for this odor.

Guinea Pigs are so cute, round, furry and smelly. Guinea Pig odor or the cage odor can come  from several sources.  The cage, the Guinea Pig, it’s  food or it’s poop.  If the Guinea Pig and the cage area kept clean then the odors are most likely coming from the Guinea Pig food or some fur type odors that  pets like this create.   

We recommend that you use an activated charcoal odor absorber like Innofresh.   They have a Pet version made for these types of odors and will work  well.  You should notice the odor level down in  a few hours. The activated charcoal odor absorber traps the Guinea Pig odor in the pores of the absorber and you have a good  odor free smell again.  It lasts up to 4 months.

If the odor is strong you may need to use a couple around the outside of the cage.  Do not put them in the cage.  The odor absorber is fragrance free, non toxic, but the Guinea Pig may try to eat it if in the cage, so  they should not get near it, so they cannot try to eat it.

If the rabbit is clean, and the cage is kept clean from waste, the odors are coming from their food or general odors that pets like these create.

Activated charcoal odor absorber like Innofresh are made for these types of odors and will work well for those odor types. You should notice the smell clear and big difference very quickly. This is because the activated charcoal odor absorber traps the odor in the pores of the absorber and then you have a good smell again around the cage.

It lasts up to 4 months. If the odor is strong you may need to use a couple around the outside of the cage. Do not put them in the cage.

Assuming you have cleaned and washed out the cage and it still wreaks, I would suggest the larger odor absorbers used for refrigerators that have more odor absorbing capacity. Fridge It will be much stronger odor remover, due to the air flow cube design.

This also work great for other types of animal cage odor such as rabbit, hamster, gerbil,  and bird.

Dogs know where you are going from your shoe odor.

Dogs are so smart!  A friend was saying how her dog knows where she is going out by the shoes she puts on.  She told us the dog was not interested in going with her, since she put on dress shoes.  If she had put on sneakers, the dog would of been all over her wanting to come with. 

When it comes to odors from foot-ware, this a key. Yes, your shoes all have odor.  A scent that gives off what shoe it is and where it has been.  Dogs noses are a true test of odor deciphering. They can smell what you cannot.  They are our early warning to odors.

So give you dog a break and get your foot-ware odor cleaned up.  Go to  Innofresh learn how to get rid of the odor from your shoes or foot ware . So you are not giving away your knowledge of where you are going to the nose of a dog.

If the odor is coming from your dog or pet then the Pet odor absorber  is just the solution for your odor problems.

Odor Control Tips

Let me begin by giving credit where credit is due. Virtually everything I’ve learned about controlling litter box order was obtained from people sharing information at Litter box Central (www.litterbox-central.com ). My notes here are for the most part simply a condensation from that source.

Here are several factors that contribute to litter box odor — and probably the largest single component is what goes in to your cat. The right cat food can make a huge difference between a miserably stinky environment and one that’s odor free. (Please take a few moments to read the Scoop Free section at Litter box Central for more on this topic).

Choice of Litter

The second biggest variable is in your choice of litter (see Recommended Litter).  After a lot of testing (totally by myself and friends, using our own noses) I’ve come to the conclusion that for the most part, the Fresh Step crystals work the best for me.  I emphasize for me, as some people may have problems with the scent used in this litter, etc.  But generally I’ve found this to be the best choice, with the highest odor-absorbing capability.

Activated Charcoal Odor Absorbers

Being the incessantly curious person that I am, I noticed that many of the litter companies have started advertising heavily around activated charcoal in their products. After some searching (and further experimentation), I found a pretty darned amazing product — Innofresh. I spent some time talking with them on the phone to learn more about their odor absorbers to learn as much as I could — but the real proof was when my wife noticed a significant further reduction in odors after I’d had a unit in my Scoop Free for a couple of days.

Now thatwas the critical test.  Pretty impressive.

I keep one stuck under the purple lid. It simply clips to one of the “vanes” that hold the magnet, and lasts about 3 months. I was so impressed I signed on as a product distributor, and now carry them here in a 4 pack for $14.00.  (It doesn’t make sense with shipping and all to just order one).

Here’s the info from Innofresh:

Innofresh™ PET Fragrance Free odor absorbers utilizes our patented activated carbon technology to eliminate odors and is completely fragrance free. No worry about irritating or harmful fragrances for your pets or yourself. Fragrances just cover up odors while Innofresh™ PET odor absorber traps and eliminates those lingering odors from your pets.

Our activated carbon odor absorbers work effectively against those tough litter box odors, as well as in areas where gerbils, pet mice, hermit crabs, ferrets or other small animals are kept. Just clip our odor absorber on to your cat litter box or even outside small animal cages to eliminate odors safely and effectively and without chemicals, gels, powders or sprays. Built in clip securely fastens to most litter boxes, and cages. Don’t settle for litter that claims to control odors. Eliminate them with Innofresh™ Pet activated carbon odor absorbers.
