How to Maintain a Clean Home with Pets
We love our furry friends, but not the mess they can leave behind. Here are our top tips for managing pet hair, dander, and odors for a fresher home.
Pets are part of the family, but they bring their own unique cleaning challenges. From shedding to muddy paws, keeping a home with pets clean can feel like a full-time job. As pet lovers ourselves, we have a few tricks up our sleeve to help you keep your home fresh and tidy.
Combatting Pet Hair
Pet hair gets everywhere. The best defense is a good offense:
- Regular Vacuuming: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to effectively trap pet hair and dander. Pay special attention to corners and under furniture.
- Upholstery Tools: A rubber squeegee or a damp rubber glove works wonders for quickly removing hair from sofas and chairs.
- Frequent Brushing: Grooming your pet regularly removes loose fur before it has a chance to land on your floors and furniture.
Tackling Odors
To keep your home smelling fresh:
- Wash Bedding Often: Regularly wash your pet's bed, blankets, and any towels they use in hot water.
- Baking Soda is Your Friend: Sprinkle baking soda on carpets and upholstery, let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb odors, then vacuum it up thoroughly.
- Use an Air Purifier: An air purifier with a HEPA filter can significantly reduce airborne pet dander and odors.
