I have 1 dogs and 1 cat, and a rabbit. My house smells really badly, I have tried using air fresheners, fabric freshers. I understand that I have animals in the house, and I do not expect my house to smell like a field of roses but, the smell is really bad. I know a lot of people who have a house full of animals and they do not have the problems that I do. I clean my house almost everyday, I can’t help but understand the problem. I’m starting to think I need to change my furnace filters way more often, but my furnace is completely garbage so I’m going to be installing a new one and hopefully change the filter way more often. I hope it works
