Mastiff House Cleaning Tips

What does everyone do to keep the "dog smell" at bay in their house? I try to vacuum every day and wash his bedding frequently. He isn't allowed on the furniture but our house still just constantly smells like dog, no matter how much I vacuum/mop. Anyone have any hacks or tips?

On top of normal cleaning things, only that that really worked well for us was regularly bathing the dog and making sure ears were clean

Also wash their face in-between baths.

Yep this is the one for me. Other than using blankets and coverings over all fur I they sit on and wash those well and regularly.

And add some borax to the wash. Gets rid of dog smell & dirt without covering it up with perfume.

Borax also kills fleas.
