Tips On Cleaning Up After Pets


From their dirty paws, scattered furs on upholstered furniture, unfriendly odors to their occasional mishaps and accidents, cleaning up after our home pets is no easy feat.

To keep your home clean and free from most of these common problems, the experts at Merry Maids suggest the following tips for pet owners.

  • Diminish the mess: Cleaner pets signify a cleaner house. Bathe and brush your pets frequently to reduce the number of pet hair and litter and also to remove unwanted odors. Make sure to have a lint brush or damp sponge easily accessible to quickly pick up loose hair.
  • Taking out pet hair: Use a vacuum with a good beater brush or brush roll to remove pet hair on carpets. On the other hand, for upholstery, it is better to use velour brushes, tape rollers or even the sole of a clean tennis shoe and remove the fur using light, even strokes.
  • Lifting stains: Dilute spots using a damp cloth, then clean the area with one quart of water mixed with one teaspoon white vinegar. Cleaning liquids from your local pet store or grocery are also effective in lifting stains and odors. Be sure to follow the label instructions and allow them to work for the full amount of time indicated.
  • When your pet has an uneasy stomach, make sure to clean up these accidents immediately, as the acidity can leave a stain on your carpet. Manage the affected area using a professional carpet detergent and rinse well with clean hot water. Remove the soiled materials away from the carpet.You can also take the help of Alberta carpet cleaning professionals.
