If you are the proud of owner of a beloved pet, you know they’re like a member of the family. But your furry friends can also be pretty messy. Whether your dog tracks dirt in on his paws or your black long-haired cat sheds all over your white couch, it’s important to keep your house clean on a weekly basis.
This will prevent any unsightly messes as well as keep dirt and bacteria off your furnishings. To stay on top of this, it’s helpful to hire a Nashville cleaning company to come to your home regularly. Make sure they bring the proper supplies to thoroughly clean pet messes, hair and dander accumulation.
Clean Your Pets Upon Entry
Before your dog even enters the house from playing or going to the bathroom, wipe their paws to keep germs and dirt from transferring to your carpets.
Stock Up On Enzyme-Based Cleaners
Accidents happen, whether you have a new puppy, older dog, or a cat, and sometimes they urinate or defecate inside the home. This may be a one-time or a frequent occurrence, but in either case, prompt and effective cleaning is necessary. Keep an enzyme-based cleaner on hand which will not only clean up the mess, it will eliminate odors.
Vacuum Regularly
Be sure to vacuum your carpets and floors, as well as couches and armchairs, every day – especially if your pet sheds a lot. Animal hair builds up quickly and gets stuck to fabrics, rugs, and pillows. You may want to pick up a small, wireless vacuum that you can use on the fly for quick jobs.
Deep Clean Bedding, Toys, and Collars
Hair and odors will accumulate in areas where your pet spends most of their time. If your dog or cat has their own bed, vacuum and wash it regularly to keep it fresh and smelling pleasant. Wash, vacuum or wipe down all collars, leashes, toys, and clothes.
Brush Pets Regularly
Coming up with a regular routine for grooming your pets is essential. But don’t reserve brushing just for bath time. Do it every day, sometimes a few times a day, using an appropriate brush that won’t hurt their skin or hair. This will encourage shedding while preventing excess fur from spreading throughout the house. It can also promote better blood flow to the skin so they are more comfortable all year through.
Hopefully these tips have been helpful as you attempt to control the mess your beloved pets make in your home. With less mess, you are less stressed, and that makes for a happy pet owner!
