When we think “deep cleaning,” we often think of products with chemicals that are able to deliver a significant punch. For instance, we might use bleach to kill bathroom bacteria, ammonia for clean the floors, and air freshening sprays containing the phthalates that can cover or remove smells.However, these products are poisonous to pets, who could consume them or lick them off of their feet. This is why it’s crucial to take care when performing pet-friendly deep cleans with caution.It is always possible to substitute chemical-based cleaning products by using natural ingredients. However, there is another alternative that’s also available to you.If you know that you’ll make use of chemicals that are toxic to your pet, shut them out of rooms where the chemicals are being employed. If you can, keep them away from the zone for 12-24hrs. Always read the instructions on your cleaning equipment to make sure you’re using right amount and, in the event of needing to dilute them, do so correctly.

Let’s now take a review of one the most persistent pests in a pet-friendly household pet hair. Pets don’t just shed hair as they age, but they also generate dander. Plus, outdoor pets can be a source of irritation for other animals such as pollen, dirt and dust.
Carpets are quite some of the hair your pet sheds. Every week at least ensure that you thoroughly vacuum any rugs or carpeting. If you’re taking the clean route, use the attachments on your vacuum to pull up any hair trapped between your baseboards and carpets.
Upholstered furniture is also a perfect place to hide pet hair particularly if you have pets that are climbing or sleeping on your furniture. You can utilize your vacuum attachments to get rid of the hair, but much of it will stick on. When you’re cleaning, grab a lint roller or metal lint removal tool and go over all of your furniture and curtains to take off the pet hair that has gotten stuck to it.When washing and drying any furnishings covers, or any other household fabrics, ensure that you include one or two dryer sheets in the drying cycle. Dryer sheets help to reduce static electricity in fabric, making they less likely to draw pet hair and hairballs in the first place.
When you have pets running around your home, you’re likely to leave behind some stains. The dog could track mud in on his feet on a wet day or be a victim of an accident outside your litterbox. Either way, we’ve come up with a few tips to remove new and old stains out of your carpet and upholstery.
If you don’t have a carpet cleaner solution in your cupboard do not fret about it. Create a mixture with half a cup of vinegar, a teaspoon each of dish soap and salt, along with two cups of hot water. You can then apply this mixture on the stain with a sponge, rag, or paper towel, before blotting it out with a dry cloth or paper towel.
What happens to the stains you didn’t see in the first place? Once again, we’ve made a quick and easy mix that made from household objects.
Combine half of a cup hydrogen peroxide in one teaspoon of dish detergent. Then, dust the stain with baking soda prior pouring the liquid mixture over the stain. Allow it to be bubbly and fizz for five to ten minutes before Blotting it off, repeating the process as needed, and vacuuming away any remaining baking soda.
Sometimes, the most irritating aspect of having a pet can be the smell. While dogs and cats are generally clean and can be quite clean, they can also smudge the place. Let’s take a look at some of the ways that you can rid yourself of smells in your home.
The most frequently we hear from pet owners is that their house air is smelly or musty. This is mostly due the irritants we discussed in the past, including fur hairs, pet dander, and dust. By vacuuming regularly, improving the circulation of air in the house and taking a few steps to keep your pets tidy (like brushing them frequently or washing their paws after outdoor time), you can boost indoor air quality.
Are you aware of those truly unpleasant smells that linger in furniture and carpeting, and appear impossible to eliminate? This time, you’re likely to want to head to the pantry to grab some baking soda.In reality, you could take the same steps that we suggested for cleaning up old stain. However, this time, you’ll want to use more baking soda, and let the baking soda to set for a longer period of time-in some cases you might want to allow it to sit for 24 hours.
