Whenever I’m sick, I like to do a marathon.  Marvel Movies – Iron Man, Thor, Captain America.  But the last time I was home sick, I decided to watch the Twilight movies (yes, I have them all).   These are my guilty pleasure.  One thing I noticed is that the rain made a big feature in the first movie, the rest of the movies just showed an overcast Forks, Washington. We live in Marysville, Washington. For those of you who live in the Western Washington, we live east of the outlet malls, north of the convergent zone, and although it doesn’t rain as much as people think, it rains enough to make living with the Wet Dog Smell intolerable at times. Here is a short list of products that we use regularly that help remove the dog smell; leaving our house smelling nice. Keeping the furniture, flooring and bedding clean is a chore that repeats up to 3 times a week. Although FeBreeze is magic against fleas – yeah, didn’t you know?  kills fleas and their eggs;

tested it out eons ago and it works – I’ve been told that it’s not safe to be used regularly around pets and living with 4 dogs and 2 cats, we need a product that we can use daily. NOse Offense – this is a product that doesn’t have any odor and we spray it on the sofas, chairs, and area rugs every morning and it does a great job of removing the dog smell in the house.  And that’s not all – I use this to freshen the litter box after a cleaning, to clean the floors (just add a bit in the mop water), and to freshen our bedding where the cats nap during the day.  , and one bottle lasts for months and we have 6 pets.  Currently, we have 1 bottle upstairs, 1 downstairs, and 1 that we use for mopping the floors.  I don’t thinks we’ll have to place another order until spring. Nature’s Miracle, Advanced Formula – because anal glands express themselves when you least expect it.  This is the one product that knocks out that smell (and ohh it’s bad) within minutes of being applied.  

It doesn’t stain or discolor our furniture and days later, the smell is still gone.  I’ve also used it to save a chair from cat urine when Cosmo was trapped in a room a few years ago.rainmate air purifier fragrances Good Home Natural Laundry Detergent for Dog Bedding – we were using this natural laundry detergent at Costco that’s great for hi-capacity washers, but the dogs’ bedding and throws  never seemed to get clean unless we also used bleach, so we also use his product, because using bleach weekly on their bedding seems too harsh.  idylis air purifier smoke Good Home Natural Laundry Detergent is a bit on the spendy side, but a capful goes a long way and we had a bottle last us nearly 4 months. iqair healthpro plus air purifier coupon

(throws are washed every weekend, dog bed covers are washed every other weekend) The dogs are limited to our first floor, which has area rugs over tile and hardwoods.  The flooring is wet mopped and area rugs vacuumed every other day; I use NOse Offense (as shared above) to keep the floors clean. Baking Soda – we sprinkle the area rugs and bedding with baking soda and let it set while we wet mop the floors.  Although there are carpet freshners on the market that do a great job, the smell is so strong that I worry about how they impact our dogs, who are closer to the floor than we are.  Arm & Hammer baking soda is inexpensive and effective.  Read more about the uses of baking soda for pet owners. FeBreeze and Lysol are the easy go to products for air fresheners, but they won’t work for our house, because our dogs have to breath that in on a daily basis.  Here is what works for us… Rainbow RainMate – the RainMate is an air purifier that cleans the air when you use water, but is even better when you add an essential oil like lavender, orange spice, or something yummy like cookies (which I’m still looking for, they have to make it).  

You can also add a capful of NOse Offense (yeah, broken record here) and it works just as well – freshening the air without adding a scent, which is great for people who have sensitivities to essential oils. Scentsy Candle Warmer – someone sent me a wickless candle once and it took me 2 months to figure out how to light it.  I already had a Scentsy, so I drug it out and I’ve been turning it on each evening.   or from a local Scentsy sales person. And that’s how we keep our house clean.  Do you have any tips for me?Rainbow D4, SE, & PN2 Vacuums Rainbow E Series 1-Speed Vacuums Rainbow E Series 2-Speed Vacuums Rainbow E Series Black 2-Speed Vacuums What is the best Rainbow Vacuum Model? Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner Guide - Lots of Information Rainbow Vacuum Common Problems and Solutions Cleaning Your Rainbow Vacuum Rainbow Vacuum Frequently Asked Questions Why are Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners so good? as of 2015 we have sold over 80,000 Vacuum Cleaners representing all makes and models.

So of all those vacuum cleaners which vacuums are customers loyal to the most? The Rainbow vacuum cleaner hands down. Once our customers have owned a Rainbow vacuum cleaner they almost never use anything else the rest of their lives. They are CRAZY loyal to them more than any other vacuum brand we have seen BY FAR. Let me share with you 3 emails that we get ALL OF THE TIME. They usually go something like this:I have had my Rainbow vacuum for going on 28 years now and LOVE it. However its been well used and in need of a tune up. I dont want another vacuum, I dont want the newer model..............I want this one. How much would you charge to totally rebuilt it? I had a Rainbow vacuum years ago and my ex got it in the divorce (@#$%^) of everything I miss it the most. I want a Rainbow!" (you would be surprised how often we get that email). "......my friend's vacuum broke down and I loaned her my Rainbow vacuum, and that was 2 weeks ago and she wont give it back. Can you sell her a Rainbow vacuum so I can get my Rainbow back?

Her name is ......." I think that pretty much says it all but the point is that people who own Rainbow's dont just think of it as a vacuum but as part of the family. A popular consumer magazine rated the rainbow the most dependable canister vacuum and we see them lasting for 25 plus years all the time. We had a recent customer email us that said "see you again in 24 years" because thats how long his last one lasted. We dont make as much money as a big box store does selling a new vacuum every 3 years but we do appreciate all the referrals we get. It is not uncommon for someone to buy a Rainbow from us and then 2 to 3 of their friends do as well (Thank You!). Rainbows are popular because they last a long time (made in the USA), are powerful deep cleaners, reduce allergies, are bagless (uses water to filter with), can vacuum up wet spills, mop floors, shampoo carpets and can act as a air purifier.
