There's no shying away from it--Ruki's a stinky dog. Her fur and her food gets in the rugs, and it just gets musty. I've tried candles, sprays, etc., but they don't seem to work for more than a few minutes.
The best thing so far has been to vacuum our floors, and use Arm & Hammer Pet Fresh Odor Eliminator. It's fragrance and baking soda. You sprinkle it on your rugs/carpets, let it sit there for 15 minutes (or more) and then vacuum it all up. It definitely smells good for a day or two (or three), but even after that the mustiness is nearly gone.
I believe the claims behind it are that the baking soda absorbs the biological nasties--proteins, enzymes, fluids--that cause odors. Then it also gets into the carpet fibers and breaks the static there--the static which makes it more difficult to vacuum out the pet hair. And of course the strong fragrance covers anything else up.
I also appreciate the fact that it's "more" natural than other things. I know Febreeze is supposed to be based on corn products, but I don't know what else is in there. The Pet Fresh is mostly baking soda. I can deal with that.
