Pet smells linger? This vacuum removes odours for a fresher home
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more If your home smells more of wet dog than fresh linen, even after you've vacuumed, mopped and scrubbed – you're not alone. Lingering pet odours are notoriously stubborn, especially when they cling to carpets and upholstery. We love our furry friends of course, but it can feel like a constant battle trying to keep things clean, especially after a rainy dog walk. But according to shoppers, the Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour XL Upright Vacuum is the secret weapon all dog lovers should buy. Featuring anti-odour technology, the Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour XL Upright Vacuum [AZ3000UKT] traps dust and smells inside the vacuum and leaves floors with a light, fresh scent. Its anti hair wrap technology is great for pet fur and long human hair and the Powered Lift-Away feature makes cleaning in difficult to reach areas a doddle. Buy Now for £349.99 Described as a 'perfect for pet owners' this vacuum doesn't just lift stubborn pet hair and dander, it actually neutralises pet smells, too. How does it do this, I hear you ask. Well, the standout feature is Shark's Anti-Odour Technology, which actively captures and eliminates bad smells inside the vacuum as you clean, rather than blowing them back into the room like other vacuums. It's also built with Anti Hair Wrap Plus technology, which means no more pulling clumps of tangled hair off the brush roll and handles pet hair (and long human hair) with ease, even on thick-pile carpets and rugs. And, for those suffering from allergies, the incredible Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology means 99.9% of dust and allergens are captured inside the dustbin, rather than floating back into the air you breathe. And it's not just for floors. Thanks to the Powered Lift-Away feature, the dustbin detaches from the upright so you can clean stairs, cars, sofas and under furniture without missing a spot. Add in the XL dust bin (fewer trips to empty it) and the ability to switch seamlessly between hard floors and carpets, and it's easy to see why so many pet owners are making the switch. Sounds too good to be true? We don't blame you for thinking this. But don't just take our word for it, take a look at what other shoppers have to say about the Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour XL Upright Vacuum. More Trending One review left by a user named JaneyB said: 'Amazing product! I would recommend it to anybody that has dogs.' And a five-star review from a user named Liam said: 'Great product, easy to use on carpet and wood and clears up dog hair perfectly.' And a review left by Laura said: 'Great vacuum. I bought it to replace my old Shark after 9 years and it hasn't disappointed at all. While being a heavyish vacuum is very easy to maneuver. The new smell attachment is great and really leaves a very nice scent after. Attachments are just perfect for a household of many pets and the pet tool is great for a quick clean on the sofa.'

Superyacht sinks near Ibiza after fire onboard
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A superyacht has sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, near the Spanish island of Ibiza, after an inferno broke out onboard. Footage shared by Spanish rescuers shows flames engulfing the 28-metre vessel as plumes of dark grey smoke billow into the sky. The incident on the Da Vinci happened on Monday, 7.3 miles southwest of the island of Formentera. There were four passengers, two crew members, and the captain on board when the fire broke out. All of them were rescued and it is understood that there were no injuries, but nothing could be done to save the yacht. The maritime rescue services said that the fireball was 'uncontrollable' and that it remained unextinguished. A post on X said: 'CCS Palma deploys Guardamar Concepción Arenal and Salvamar Naos, which also transports firefighters. 'The seven people have been evacuated by the Naos to land in good condition. More Trending 'The fire could not be controlled, and the yacht has finally sunk. The Guardamar remains in the area cleaning up debris.' Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera reported that the fire started in the engine room. A rescue boat and patrol vessel were eventually deployed to respond to the fire. Ultima Hora said that initially, the fire appeared to be under control, but when the rescue boats began to pull the yacht, the fire escalated before it ultimately sank.
