Pet ownership is joyful but it also requires keeping your apartment clean and fresh. Shedding fur, muddy paws, and occasional accidents can make this a challenge. Luckily, there are simple tips to keep your space fresh and tidy. Here are seven essential tips for maintaining a clean, pet-friendly home:
Air purifiers help remove pet dander, dust, and allergens from the air, creating a healthier environment for both you and your pets. Look for a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) purifier, as it captures even the tiniest particles and keeps the air in your apartment smelling fresh. Regularly change the filter for optimal results and performance.
As a pet owner, you'll know how quickly fur can accumulate on floors and furniture. Investing in a quality vacuum cleaner designed for homes with pets is a game-changer. Choose a vacuum with strong suction power and a brush roll that can easily pick up pet hair or dirt.
Toys, food bowls, and pet beds can quickly accumulate dirt, hair, and odours. Regularly clean your pet’s belongings to keep them fresh. Wash food and water bowls with dish soap regularly, and don’t forget to wipe down your dog’s toys to remove any dirt.
Pets love lounging on couches, chairs, and beds, and their hair can quickly accumulate on these surfaces. To keep your furniture clean, use throw blankets or covers on the spots where your pets like to sit. These blankets are easy to wash and provide a comfortable spot for your furry friend to snuggle up—a win-win for everyone!
Accidents happen. Whether it's a little bit of urine on the carpet or muddy paws after a walk, it’s important to clean up pet messes as quickly as possible, as they leave behind odours and stains, making it harder to maintain a clean apartment. Use pet-safe cleaning products and a cloth to blot up the mess as soon as it occurs.
Invest in a washable pet bed that you can easily clean. Look for one with removable covers that can be thrown in the laundry room for regular cleaning. This will help keep your apartment smelling fresh, and your pet will always have a clean spot to rest.
Certain types of furniture, especially those with plush or velvet upholstery, tend to attract and hold onto pet hair. If you’re a dog or cat owner, consider choosing furniture made from materials that are easier to clean, such as leather or microfibre. These materials don’t trap pet hair as easily and are much easier to wipe down. If you already have furniture that attracts pet hair, use a good brush or lint roller to remove the hair.
