Our pets can bring so much joy to our lives – wagging tails, furry cuddles and licked faces. You love your pet’s company, but you need to look after the cleanliness and hygiene of your home as well. Any pet owner will know that pets can also bring dirt, hair, dander, odors and pet accidents into the home. Choosing the right tools to keep your home clean can keep your pet comfortable and your home beautiful and safe as well. If you have a pet at home, ensure you have these 5 things to keep your home clean and hygienic.
- Pet Hair Vacuum Cleaner
A pet hair vacuum cleaner is specially designed to pick up those stray pet hairs that can cover your carpets, area rugs and upholstery. Pet hair can contain allergens such as pet dander mites, as well as being unsightly. Regular vacuuming is one of the most important things you can do for your floors and furniture if you have pet. Pet hair vacuum cleaners are capable of dealing with large volume of pet hair and removing it effectively from different surfaces. Having a powerful vacuum cleaner on hand is essential for households with pets.
- Pet Accident Clean Up Kit
Pet accidents can happen so fast, and if you don’t act quickly you could be left with permanent stains and odors. Put together your own pet accident clean up kit, with clean light colored blotting cloths, natural cleaning solution (such as diluted white vinegar and water), scrapers and rubber gloves to remove debris, and if necessary, a stronger pet stain removal agent. Always check with your professional carpet cleaner before using chemicals on your carpet, to ensure they are safe for your carpet, your pets and your family.
- Professional Floor and Upholstery Cleaning
If you have a pet at home, regular professional carpet cleaning, area rug cleaning and upholstery cleaning is absolutely essential. Aim to have professional cleaning done at least once a year to remove tracked in dirt, hair, dander mites, odors and stains from your floors and furnishings. A professional carpet cleaner can provide expert stain removal for those hard to shift pet accident stains. Professional carpet cleaning also reaches deeper into the carpet layers to remove all traces of stains and odors for fresher, healthier carpets.
- Automatic Pet Feeder
Leaving pet food out all day can attract pests and vermin to the food bowl and your home. Not only could you end up with a dirtier home, you might even foster a pest invasion! An automatic pet feeder reduces the amount of time your pet’s food sits out for, and there are a number of other advantages too. Automatic pet feeders take the pressure off you remembering to feed your pets every day, while ensuring your pets get just the right portion for their needs.
- Pet Grooming Tools
Keeping your pet well-groomed and washed also helps to reduce dirt levels, odor and pet hair in your home. This is especially true for dogs who don’t groom themselves. Washing and grooming your pet once a week can help to limit the dirt levels in your home and reduce the amount of dropped pet hair as well.
Pets make our homes better by providing love, company and security. Take care of your home and your pet with these 5 essentials for every pet owner.
