I have 1 dog and 5 cats so I too know about trying to get rid of smells in the house.
I use a small tub of bicarbonate of soda (or bread soda) and about 20 drops of pure essential oils mix up and sprinkle on carpets and leave for 30 minutes then vacuum off.
The bread soda takes out the smell and the oil adds a nice fragrance.

Also I make up a spray bottle with clothes conditioner (I use ecover as it is environmentally friendly) just add about an egg cup full and then top up with water. Shake before each use and this can be used to spray on curtains, rugs, fabric settees etc.
Also it refreshes bedding with a quick spray!

Hope this is of some help
