If we have visitors (as we did yesterday) who are NOT doggy people, I tend to bath the dogs first ;) Then I vacuum using a sprinkle of Neutradol carpet powder (though some dogs get skin irritation from that) and finally I spray the sofa etc with Febreeze JUST before they arrive
Of course, all this was for naught because, after visitors had been here for about 3 hours, Delta found a MASSIVE puddle which she waded through, and then went behind the shed and played in the mud ...result? One stinky smelly wet puppy who ran into the house and promptly shook herself all over the visitors :D :D
