For cats, litter box placement and daily scooping matter. Deodorizers cannot fix a box that needs cleaning. I also use an enzyme cleaner for accidents.

A vacuum with a good filter helps, especially with pet hair and dander. Also clean the vacuum itself. A dirty vacuum can blow smell around.

Wash pet beds, blankets and throw covers regularly. Soft surfaces hold smell more than floors. Once I washed those weekly, the house smelled much better.
