Seven (7) Tips on How to Keep your House Clean with a Dog!

Let’s face it.  Dogs are just like children.  From toys being all over the place to dirty paw-prints and fur on the floor, dog owners most certainly have their work cut out for them!  However, we’d like to offer some tips on how you can maintain a clean home with your pet.

  1. Try using an automatic vacuum. This is a true time-saver as it can pick up dirt, debris and pet hair while you are working on other tasks.
  2. Stain remover will be your best friend. Be sure to have a cleaner available which can tackle stains and odors. Even the most well-behaved and trained dog has an accident from time to time.
  3. Use a lint roller. This is perfect for getting dog hair and debris off of furniture.
  4. Muddy paws? Have an old towel at the entrance. Try and wipe away all mud and debris before your dog tracks it everywhere in the house.
  5. Cover up your furniture. You can utilize waterproof mattresses and slip covers for your couch for added protection.
  6. Use a food and water tray. Dogs like to dig through food and splash water which can cause quite the mess!  If you put a tray underneath the bowls, it will help prevent spills.
  7. An air-purifier may be an investment. Of course we want our homes to smell great. Consider investing in an air-purifier to attack dust, pet dander, allergies and smells.
