With the New Year in full swing, it's important to set your cleaning routine and stick with it. Today we'll focus on those homes with pets. As for most pet owners your pets are not just pets but part of the family. They provide companionship, laughter and memories. Aas a member of the family they also add to the mess. Here are seven simple tips to keep your home pet clean..
Step 1. Wipe out stains. Clean up messes as they happen, speed is your best friend when it comes to Fido's accidents. Blot the entire mess with papertowels, and a thick layer of newspaper. Stand on the pile until almost completely dry. Next, clean the area with cool water and blot with paper towels as much water as you can. If needed follow this process with a spot shampooer.
Step 2. Simplify Cleaning. Keep food bowls on pet-friendly placemats. Clean up messes as they happen.
Step 3. Excercise pets. Well excersized pets tend to be more mellow. Added bonus your kids get some excersize at the same time. A mellow pet is less likely to tear into the trash or rip up that box of tissue. Well excersized, mellow pets are also less like to have an accident on the floor.
Step 4. Grooming. Brushing is an easy kid chore. Regular brushing helps eliminate some shedding and allows you to decide where that loose fur flies. Add this to your childs daily choir routine to cut down on excess shedding.
Step 5. Wash your pet. Keeping those pet paws clean, helps prevent paw prints and excess dirt brought in from the outdoors. You can keep a shallow basin by the door your pet frequently uses rinsing and drying their paws on the way back inside.
Step 6. Scoop the litter. Dirty litter boxes is the number one reason kitties won't use their litter boxes. Litter boxes should be cleaned daily adding fresh litter as needed.
Step 7. Open the windows. Fresh air can manage the amount of dander, dust and odor in your home. Open up those windows for 10-15 minutes a day (except in extreme weather conditions) to help circulate fresh air throughout your home.
