As a pet owner, you’ve probably noticed that pet hair tends to get everywhere. Over time this messy hair can add up and make your house feel and look less clean. Of course, there are plenty of ways to make pet cleanup much easier.

So whether you want to tackle shedding, or keep hair at bay, knowing the right cleaning methods will work to your advantage

Pet cleaning hacks

From having hair on your clothes to your couches and even in places you wouldn’t expect, your furry friends know how to make a mess.

Wipe the paws every time

Even if you have an entrance mat for your pets they may still track dirt and dust into the house. Keeping a bowl of warm water, a clean towel, and some pet-safe wipes by the door helps with giving your pet a full inspection each time they come into the house. It may be time-consuming, but it will save you energy on cleaning in the long run.

Have a lint roller

Owning a lint roller is a great way to remove pet hair from your clothes. It can also be used on couches, curtains, and other furnishings. Lint rollers cover a wide surface area and are super effective in picking up fur. Just run the roller on the surface and watch it pick up the hair.

Furniture covers

You cannot always keep your pets away from your furniture. Using furniture covers can be a great way to prevent hair from being all over your furniture. Luckily most furniture covers are designed to be easily removed and washed, providing you with less work. In addition to protecting against pet hair, they can protect the fabric from damage and unwanted pet odours.

Groom your pets frequently

Daily brushing and regular bathing will help keep your home hair- and dust-free, especially from shedding pets. Grooming doesn’t only end with fur, trimming your pet’s nails when they get too long also forms part of their grooming sessions.

Trimming your pet’s nails will prevent scratching damage on your furniture. It’s important to know how and when to cut your pet’s nails to avoid hurting them.
