Have you ever taken your dogs for a walk and quickly dipped them in the bath to wash their muddy legs? Or vacuum cleaner or broom Swiffer to chase the loose hair of a dog or cat just to magically turn up? I even invested some expensive and safe pet feet to keep my dogs' feet clean, but I realized they were not worth the price.
We, the pets, face unique challenges when it comes to keeping our homes clean. Every day, our beloved animals track the dust in the house, hair piled on furniture, windows sticking out of their nostrils, and the stench that follows them is hard to get around. Nevertheless, we support all this because our pet is part of our family.
As the national pet month ended in late May, I thought you could share some pet cleaning tips that you can use all year round. These are tips I got from the people at Two Maids & A Mop , one of the most dynamic cleaning concessions in the country.
Treat the smell of pets
Owning a dog or a cat means that your house stinks from time to time, but you can eliminate the odor without removing the pet.
Start with the dirt and skin left by the animals on the smooth floors. Carefully pass all hard surfaces and collect the residue in a dustpan. Reverse after sweeping and clean the tiles, hardwood or linoleum. I tend to use my vacuum on the flat floor instead of the broom.
The carpets are another animal or a dust bunny, if you like. The carpet is a magnet for dust, dirt and scales, so it sucks all corners, corners, cracks and cracks. Once the vacuum cleaner is done, go to the furniture, curtains and curtains. When this dirt is absorbed, even most pet smells are.
Another way to fight off pet smells is to keep your tissues fresh, especially items that your dogs or cats like to sponsor. From pillows to bed linen, these items should be washed regularly. With two dogs in our house, we finally gave up all the furniture and went with leather. Now I can just clean the furniture and do not have to fight with the washcloths. And those animal odors that always seemed stubborn? Party forever!
Remove stains
Despite the training hours, there are accidents with animals. Recently the people of Turtle Wax sent Turtle Wax Power to me ! Try out the Pet Measuring Kit . It is touted as an all-in-one solution to effortlessly cleanse all pet diseases in the home and in the car. After a particularly colorful accident on a dog, say, on our new mattress, I decided to give it a try. In a few minutes, not only was the disaster cleansed, but there was no evidence that the body fluids had been there, or smell or anything. What a great tool for these possible accidents.
If you prefer the DIY approach, you can clean the urine stains by mixing two cups of vinegar and two cups of hot water with four tablespoons of baking soda in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the dirty area of the carpet, let it dry for 10 minutes and dab it off with a soft cloth.
Nothing wakes you up faster in the middle of the night than a dog or a cat who wants to vomit. This is the most effective alarm clock on the market.
If you have vomiting at any time of the day, the first step is to collect the mass. Then dry the area with a towel. Mix two cups of hot water, a tablespoon of salt, a tablespoon of liquid soap, and half a cup of vinegar in a bowl. Put a soft cloth in the mixture and dry the stain lightly. You may need to do this several times before the stain disappears. Clean the clean area with a damp cloth before drying it with a towel.
Stop the mud marks
When your pet leaves, it is very likely that he will be watching dirt, mud, grass and more at home. One of the best ways to avoid fingerprints and animal tracks in your home is to place a rug or rug near the door to absorb dirt. In this way, the animals have no choice but to "cleanse" their feet before entering. You can also look for a handmade glove with a microfiber material that improves the cleaning power used on the animals' feet. Or you can do what I do on rainy days: Bring the dogs into the bath to rinse them.
Clean pet stains
If your pets are like mine, they like to sit in a window and watch the world. I always know if the postman, the UPS driver or the yard service is here because dogs are barking to alert me: They are doing a great job protecting their properties. They leave traces in the windows. The glass cleaner can remove these stains in seconds. I find that using a microfibre cloth causes less waste compared to paper towels. For his fingerprints on the windowsill, Mr. Clean's magic eraser is the trick.
In a nutshell, when it comes to keeping your home clean: if you do something everyday, avoid having to clean it up, and it'll be a great hairy job.
