It’s now spring, which means spring cleaning! While you’re cleaning your house and yard, think about cleaning up after your pet, too. Here are some helpful tips for spring cleaning for your pet:

Get the Right Supplies

Before you start cleaning up after your pet, you should get the supplies necessary for cleaning up after your dogs and cats. That means using Fission Pet Cleaning Products that use the power of CO₂ to clean deep down and leave a fresh scent. Fission products clean the toughest stains and odor, leaving your home clean and fresh.

You’ll also want mops, sponges, and poop scoops to ensure you can get your home clean.

Clean Your Pet’s Bed

Your dog and cat’s beds are probably in need of a good cleaning now that winter is gone. Use a wet glove or a pet hair roller to remove the hair and then, if the bed has a removable cover, remove the cover and wash it. Wash it in the warmest water the bedding manufacturer recommends with good laundry soap and dry thoroughly. If the bed is one piece, use Fission Pet Cleaning Products on it to clean it and keep it fresh for your pet.  Any frayed or chewed beds need to be tossed and you need to buy a new one.

Go Through Your Pet’s Toys

Now is the time to go through your pet’s toys. Get rid of any chew toys that have been worn down, toys that are ripped, or those that look like they’re coming apart. Replace all your pet’s toys with new toys so they won’t miss having their favorite toy tossed.

Clean Your Pet’s Bowl

Your pet doesn’t like eating out of a dirty bowl any more than you do. It is recommended to wash your pet’s food bowl once a day.  If it’s stainless steel or ceramic, you can wash it in your dishwasher. If plastic, wash it by hand with dish soap and water. If your pet has chewed the bowl, it’s time to get a new one. Your pet will enjoy a clean bowl, and you’ll feel good knowing that you have gotten rid of bacteria and germs.

Get Rid of those Fur Bunnies

If your pet sheds, chances are you have a lot more fur roaming around than what is just on your pet. Use pet hair rollers or vacuum the rugs and furniture to get rid of the worst of the hair. If you have hard surface flooring, you can sweep it or use a dry microfiber mop to pick it up.

Check the Collar, Leash, and Tags

Now is a good time to check your pet’s collar, leash, and tags. If the collar is looking ratty, time to shop for some new ones that will make your pup or cat look awesome. Now is a good time to check your pet’s ID tags as well. If they’re worn to where they’re unreadable, have old phone numbers or addresses, or are just plain gone, now is the time to replace them. If your pet gets lost, having up to date information is vital to getting him back. Look carefully at your dog’s leash. Is it frayed or damaged in any way? If it is, toss it and get a new one.

Clean Up the Yard

If you’ve been neglecting to clean the yard over winter, it’s time for you to get the pooper scooper out and clean up the poop, so you don’t have any doggie land mines. It’s no fun, but you’ll have a clean yard ready for the summer!
