This is the dog owners guide to a clean home…aka a happy home! Owning a dog is a wonderful and entertaining experience, but we all know it also comes with responsibilities. The biggest one being keeping your space clean. Here are some tips to help you maintain a tidy home while enjoying your fur baby.
First, establish a regular grooming routine to reduce shedding and keep your dog’s coat healthy.
Invest in a good vacuum cleaner, lint roller and broom and use them regularly to pick up pet hair and dirt.
Use washable covers for your furniture and bedding to protect them from pet stains and odors. We love these faux fur pet blankets from Amazon that help keep your pets in “their spot” on the sofa, while also making their mess easy to clean.
Keep your dog’s food and water bowls in one designated area to prevent spills and messes. It helps to have the lifted dishes so they don’t build mold and bacteria underneath them when your dog inevitably spills! These ones work great and are aesthetically pleasing.
We all know this…but for good measure, we’ll say it anyway! Be sure to clean up after your dog (waste, water spills, accidents and all) both indoors and outdoors to maintain a hygienic living space.
Most importantly…hire a professional cleaning company like Mindful Mop to maintain the health and tidiness of your family (pets included) on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. It’ll make a world of difference in your home.
