With family and friends stopping in for the Holidays, it’s more important than ever that your pet elicits an “aww!” from your guests, not an “ew.” Let’s face it: pet beds can be stinky, and the last thing you need when company is coming is a clinging pet funk. A great way to freshen up pet beds is to sprinkle dried used green tea leaves on your pet’s favorite pillow, bed or anywhere troublesome pet odors occur. The tea leaves absorb unwanted smells and leave Bingo’s bed smelling fresh and clean. While smell-zapping sprays are cheap and easy, they’re packed full of chemicals that can hurt your furry friends and the Earth.
