How Do You Deal With Bad Smells If You Can't Smell?

As someone with anosmia and no sense of smell, scents are one of the biggest mysteries to me. I like to joke around and say that scents don’t make sense to me, but they really don’t! Scents are an invisible force; one that can have powerful effects on those who can detect them. I’ve seen first-hand how pleasant and unpleasant smells affect people. It’s a great experience when pleasant scents are around, but not so much when there are bad ones.

How have I learned to deal with bad smells if I can’t smell? Well, through a lot of trial and error! Trust me, I’ve been on a never-ending search to find the right products to really fight everything and anything that smells icky in my life.

I have to point out that I have a sister who has an unbelievably remarkable hyper sense of smell. She’s mostly been in charge of pointing out if ANYTHING even remotely a part of, on or around me smells “off”; and she never holds back!

This is kind of why I’ve always been super anxious meeting with her or whenever I’ve invited her over for dinner.

You see, I live with my two indoor dogs that I love with all of my heart (they’re two cute little mini dachshunds). According to her, they make me and my place stink, though. Hearing this stinks! (pun intended) and it also makes me feel bad.

Should I have to decide between having a sister or my two dogs? No! Bad smells are what are causing this problem and what are ultimately to blame!

So, I went on a mission. I searched online to see if there was anything I could use to rid my home of the smell of my two adorable, yet smelly dogs. I had already used a lot of the popular commercial brands in the past, but honestly, they only masked the smell and didn’t work (eventually making my place smell like dog AND spring flowers).

I was super intrigued when I saw that a website called www.noodor.com came up on my search results. I was even more intrigued when I clicked on it and they had an entire section on Pets (amongst other sections for odor problems). You can immediately “Find a Targeted Pet Odor Solution,” where their information is organized: By Odor, By Pet, By Application and Outdoor.

I immediately clicked on By Pet->Dog and that’s when I saw their Smelleze ™ Reusable Pet Smell Deodorizer Pouch.

Their product info SPOKE to me.

According to their website’s product description:

“As much as you love working with pets, unpleasant odors from urine, feces, shedding, grooming, drooling and pets themselves can become offensive and bad for business.

After reading all of this I knew I JUST HAD TO TRY IT! I immediately placed my order and the rest is history!

Once I received my pouch, I instantly put it to use. All I had to do is open the package and place the pouch on top of my dog’s kennel.

So, was placing the pouch on top of the kennel, it? I was dying to find out! But, I had a bit of anxiety about inviting my sister over because I didn’t want to go through another ordeal of her telling me my place smells awful to her. Oh well! I decided to call her anyway!
