Even if you consider your furry or feathered friend a true member of the family, cleaning up after them can be a hassle. Especially if you don’t have the correct supplies. Make your life easier and your home more pet-friendly by stocking the right tools.

Cleaning Solutions

Messes are a part of pet life. It doesn’t matter how well your pet is trained, accidents and illnesses happen. These following tips will help to prevent permanent stains and make cleanup easier:

● Buy non-toxic carpet and floor cleaners. Having a stain and odor remover on hand is a must. Be sure to select cleaners that are safe for pets.

● Use microfiber or colorfast cloth. A stash of colorfast towels and bath mats can be a lifesaver for a pet owner. Placing mats under cages can prevent all types of messes, and colorfast towels are great for blotting up wet messes.

● Deep clean in between vacuuming. According to a pet expert and influencer, Kristen Levine, “Your carpet will stay fresher smelling longer if you periodically have it deep cleaned, in between regular vacuuming. The frequency of both depends on how many pets you have, how much they shed, how many accidents they have and how much mess they track in”.

● Have a mop and broom ready. Sometimes, the basic tools are still the best. When the dog’s water dish gets knocked over or when the cat paws a drinking glass off the counter, or when an accident happens on your hard-surface floor, a plain old mop or broom will take care of the mess in short order.

Having cleaning supplies on hand will make cleanup faster and easier, leaving you more time to spend with your animal friends.
