We all love our furry friends, but let’s be honest – having more than one pet can make keeping your home clean feel like a never-ending battle! Whether it’s pet hair, muddy paws, or the occasional accident, pets can be quite the messy bunch. But don’t worry, it’s possible to have a tidy home while still enjoying the company of your beloved pets. Here are some tips to help you keep things under control!
Invest in Washable Dog Beds and Cat Beds
Pets love a good snooze, and having designated spots where they can curl up is essential. But with more than one pet, these areas can get dirty quickly. Opt for washable dog beds and cat beds, which make cleaning a breeze. A quick wash every week will help keep the smell at bay and prevent dirt from spreading around your home. Check out Pet Purple’s range of washable pet beds for comfy and convenient options.
Regular Grooming is Key
carpets but also keeps your pets’ coats healthy. A silicone pet grooming brush, like the ones we stock at Pet Purple, is great for a quick and gentle grooming session.
Set Up a Muddy Paws Station
If your pets love playing outdoors, muddy paw prints might be a regular occurrence in your home. Create a “muddy paws station” by your door with a mat and a towel. You can also keep a pet-friendly paw cleaner nearby to quickly wipe their paws before they come inside. This simple trick can save your floors from becoming a muddy mess!
Vacuum and Sweep Regularly
Pet hair has a way of getting everywhere, especially when you’ve got multiple pets. Make vacuuming and sweeping part of your daily or weekly routine to keep things under control. Consider a vacuum designed for pet hair to make the job easier – they’re built to handle even the fluffiest of homes!
Pet-Safe Air Fresheners
Multiple pets can mean a mix of different smells around the house. To keep your home smelling fresh, try using pet-safe air fresheners or essential oil diffusers. Avoid harsh chemicals that might irritate your pets, and opt for natural options.
Designate Pet Zones
If your pets tend to leave a trail of chaos wherever they go, it might be helpful to create designated “pet zones” in your home. Whether it’s the living room, kitchen, or a cosy corner, keeping your pets’ activities confined to specific areas can make cleaning more manageable. Having washable dog beds or cat beds in these areas will help contain fur and dirt.
