How to Keep Your House Clean This Spring With Pets

We’re far into the spring season, which all pet owners know can be prime shedding season for our furry friends. Keeping a tidy and clean home with pets can be a daunting task during this time of the year, but with these steps you’re sure to have a better handle on it.

Bathe Your Pet Regularly

This one might seem like a pretty obvious first step, but a common cause of pets dirtying homes is from a lack of bathing. Of course you’ll want to get the dirt off of them from any playing outside, but additionally this will help remove any loose hair and pet dander that’s being dropped off on your favorite rugs and hardwood floors! Bathing your dog also prevents their hair from matting and retaining moisture and dirt. 

Buy Washable Rugs

It’s very possible that the rugs in your home get dirty, hairy, or simply filthy no matter what kind of pet you have! If this is the case, a washable rug can be a great asset in keeping your home clean throughout the year. With all the responsibilities of day-to-day life, worrying about wet or dirty paws on a carpet is the last thing you need! Modern washable rugs are super easy to clean and look amazing in your home.

Brush Your Pet

Brushing your pet regularly helps dramatically reduce their shedding. No matter if your pet likes it or not, brushing them will remove any loose hair and pet dander, making their coat generally cleaner and healthier! Always keep a small trash bin nearby whenever you brush your pet so that no flyaway hair goes blowing throughout your home. 

Vacuum and Dust

Simple cleaning methods such as vacuuming the floors and dusting surfaces will help keep your home clean, especially if done regularly. Aside from shedding, pets can bring all sorts of contaminants such as pollen, dander, and dirt into the home from their fur or simply being outside. Keep a tidy home by doing simple upkeep – even for just five minutes – around the house every so often.

Air Purification

You can easily get dust and contaminants off of surfaces in your home, but it’s not as easy to get them out of the air. For example, dander can detach from your pet and stay in your home’s air for up to 6 months if not removed. But, how do you remove it? A simple solution is an air purifier, which will sort the clean air from the contaminated air, and leave your home fresher, cleaner, and healthier than ever. Aside from dander, there can be pollen and other allergens sneaking into your home via your pet’s fur and paws, which are nearly impossible to detect. Air purification systems do wonders to extract these contaminants from your home, and protect your family from airborne illnesses and spring allergy triggers.
