stay soft works for any smell and dust I don’t buy any air freshener any more
It’s the cats…I got 2 dogs. My bf 2 sons n a daughter and house smells good. Anytime I go in a house with cats that’s first thing I smell I’d assume prolly litter boxes. Recommend a deep clean…vacuum. carpet clean everything. All dirty clothes to laundry room. And upkeep daily on litter box.

I have 1 dog, 1 cat & 2 sons… I just make sure our dog is bathed regularly & brushed, I use Arm&Hammer Double Duty Deoderizer for kitty litter & also make sure it’s changed every 2 weeks, if not weekly. I also use a covered litter box. As far as my boys, they shower every single night before school & I have chores as far as putting their dirty clothes in the laundry & never leaving dirty clothes out laying around. They also help me with laundry, loading washers/dryers, folding & putting away. I hope this might give a couple tips! 
You’re doing great! Boys are definitely dirty & wild a lot of times! & then pets seem to add like extra kids to take care of!! It’s a lot, but it’s do-able.

Pink Zebra is a good choice. It’s a home fragrance company and you can buy sprinkles (wax melts) and you can get up to 100 hours of fragrance! Regular vacuuming with carpet freshener, air freshener in each room, yankee candles, or dryer balls. You can buy a pack of dryer balls on amazon and if you buy a soak (liquid fragrance with a squirt or spray nozzle) you can use the squirt nozzle, put a little on the dryer ball and throw those in your dryer to freshen up your clothes! The spray nozzle is to freshen up carpets and furniture. Pink zebra is skin safe, non toxic, pet safe, soy based etc!
Here’s a friend of mines website in case you’re interested!
Boil water and add cinnamon, cloves or lemon and fresh sage. Or boil water and add vanilla extract. Its amazing

Pretty smelling things aside, if you have carpet, that will absorb the smells of pets. Throw bicarb down and let it sit before vacumming or change the flooring. Throws on couches etc but wash regularly.
Gonesh #2 or patchouli incense.
I only get to open my house weekends or the occasional during the week if in home. I vacuum everything, wash all the digs blankets and air the pillows and our blankets. Have candles and plug ins on. And try to wash the dog regularly. It all helps if you can air out more regular

It helps to frequently scoop the litter boxes and to use dry shampoo on the dogs between baths. Wash their bedding once or twice a week. Vacuum a couple of times a week. Also if you burn the incense of your choice, that helps too.

I have air purifiers going almost all of the time but I also TRY to bathe the dogs every two weeks… typically more in the summer.
Any time I can open all of the windows, I do. That is also prime time to clean the floors! Vacuum rugs and mop my kitchen. I will use the hottest water possible with a splash of Pine-Sol. That spin mop pulls up everything with that hot water!

Put two caps of vanilla extract in a coffee cup, then place it in the oven at 300 degrees for one hour. The whole house will soon smell like vanilla heaven without using harsh chemical air fresheners.

Febreze like tons of bottles and keep your home picked up, if sons have stinky sports stuff make them keep it in garage or on a porch or mud room etc not in rooms. Make sure they are showering etc… my aunt had 4 boys and multiple pets. She shampoos her carpets often and tries to keep windows open in nice weather. Keep your pets clean too.

I have air purifiers going 24/7. I vacuum few times a week/ bathe the dogs/ wash their bedding weekly and i light candles nightly
I wash may walls and floors frequently with my ocedar mop ( walls at least once a week)
Vacuum and febreeze soft surfaces daily ( I add unstoppables and a little rubbing alcohol to my febreeze to make it a bit stronger and last longer)
I also scoop my cat boxes 2 times a day ( I have 3 boxes to 4 cats and 2 litter trained rabbits)
Use baking soda and vinegar down your drains to keep any sink smells at bay.
As for your sons wellll that’s tough my sons room smelled like a gym locker through his whole teenaged years and he was clean but I can’t help you with that. Now that he is grown and out of the house it’s not my problem.

Once we pulled our carpet up, most of the smell went away. I also use scentsy in all rooms except the bathroom and kitchen(I tend to always spill it in the kitchen). Open the windows and doors, fresh air does a lot for you and your home.
Hide dyer sheets under your rugs, Couches, spray for the curtains, and baking soda before you vacuum!
You can buy candles for pet smells. A good cleaner is called odo ban. That can go on fabrics.
Get rid of the animals, make the sons bathe everyday, and if tge have stinky clothes get a hamper only for them and if you have a covered porch put it out there. As the boys become adults let them get their own place they can come visit after they have bathed and changed into clean clothes

5- shampoo the carpet’s regularly they hold so much grime
6-wash pet items weekly
7-shoe sprays
8- also clean sporting equipment weekly
9- shampoo Furniture and rugs and in between shampoos use a fabric refresher
I have 1 dog, turtle, 4 cats, 2 littler boxes, it’s a lot to stay on top of.
Clear every day wax melts too
Bathe dogs weekly, clean litter box, if that don’t help change the scent of the litter, open windows and doors and let in fresh air and the stank out, get a fabreeze air spray thingy that goes off every so often, make sure the boys take baths everyday or after they come inside from being outside. Wash bedding weekly, same as with clothes obviously lol make sure they throw trash away, old food or food that doesn’t get eaten put in separate trash can outside the home that way it doesn’t stink up the house. Vacuum daily and wash dishes daily and clean toilets once a week and mop floors once a week.

I have one of these. Def worth the money I got it when I had 5 kids, 4 dogs and 2 cats and could always smell dog. This took the animal smell away completely.

Ft., Captures 99.98% of particles, allergens, viruses, smoke, odors to 0.1–0.2 microns, Advanced Odor Lock, 4 Fan, Grey https://a.co/d/8kjfLzL
Baking soda in all the stinky areas, litter box, trash cans, laundry baskets, bedrooms, inside your couch, everywhere
Put dryer sheets in your vents and mope with hot hot water with little bleach and pine-Sol vacuum your carpets with the pet carpet freshener and then a different  scent of carpet freshener not for pets and vacuum again.
I feel ya in that one! This definitely helps me! Get a spray bottle put some warm water in it then those downy dryer beads pour some of those inside the bottle doesn’t take much shake spray you will smell it the next morning!!!
I have 2 dogs and I vacuum daily. Dust once a week. Have those glade spray things in all rooms. I have febreeze fabric spray that in my daily routine of cleaning I spray curtains, furniture etc.

Scentsy! And I sell it
I like Bath & Body Works wallflowers plug ins; they’re exceptionally strong. Those automatic litter boxes are pricey ($400), but could be worth it if it saves time, hassle and keeps the house smelling better.
Keep everyone out of the house as much as possible to keep smells outdoors. Yes to opening windows as much as possible.
Dry clothes outside if you are able.
Talk with the boys about hygiene. Have them pick deodorant and body spray. Also have them pick fabric softener or dryer sheets to make clothes smell better. Tell them others (especially girls) won’t like them if they smell bad. Showers and shampoo every day followed by deodorant until the worst of puberty is over.
Don’t have husbands, kids or animals.
totally joking I have everything except pets.
I have wallflowers, diffusers and wax warmers and they do the job!

I cleaned my floors every single day and wash all bedding towels rugs etc every week I light candles and use febreeze plug ins. Dust daily. I only have 1 big dog but it helps! When I had a cat it went to bathroom outside like a dog bc I hate litter boxes. I spend a lot on cleaning supplies and smell good stuff lol 
but worth it

Airwick plug ins Definitely help. I have all tile and that Definitely makes a difference. When we had carpet it just traps everything. So a good carpet cleaner if you have carpet. Febreeze sprays. Scented candles. And a little hack I learned is buy strong scented bath salts and put them in your garbage under the bag. I do it for my kitchen garbage and bathroom garbage, makes a difference. I change it out once a week.
Lots of wax melt warmers, they have all different kinds at Walmart and lots of different scents
Constantly wiping floors up with cleaners I’m multiple dog home
Also the plug in the wall air fresheners
I like to burn incense
Enchanted Sugar all natural candles

Keeping vents clean, air purifiers, changing filters, wax warmers, those renuzit twist open things hidden in corners, OdoBan spray, dryer sheets in pillow cases, a very specific way of washing my linens to keep them smelling good for longer, febreze plugins, airing out the house when I can, cleaning the carpets, cleaning with vinegar or baking soda as needed, make sure to clean your garbage disposal and your drains, I also put stuff in the trash can under where the bag goes to keep it from smelling, gave the cats their own little closet to keep their litter box in, and cut a small hole for them to go in and out, and section off that bottom part of the closet so that we could keep the door closed and still use it for storage in the upper part. Also kept the litter box in a small tote and cleaned it more often than some people tend to, also experimented with different room sprays on my curtains and throw pillows and rugs. Making sure to groom dogs really helps too
I use Wal-Mart candles hazel nut is the best …
