Top 10 Tips for a Fresh Clean Home
1. Focus. Focus your cleanup efforts on areas where odours can start. Spots where dogs sleep, eat and play are common sources of odor. Thoroughly clean these areas at least twice a week. Wash all food and water bowls in your dishwasher once or twice a week. Clean the floor under and around feeding areas.
2. Don't delay. Messes are easier to clean up when they are "fresh". The sooner you clean the mess, the less likely it will leave a stain. Identify and treat all problem areas promptly. Clean any initial stains, spots or accidents by using white paper towels to absorb and pick up as much of the mess as you can before using other products.
3. Avoid ammonia. To a dog, an ammonia-based cleaner smells like urine. Don't use ammonia-based products to clean up your dog's mess, because the ammonia smell can actually attract your pet back to that spot again.
4. Get the right stuff. Use a good quality enzyme-based dog odor neutralizer to kill the urine scent and follow the label directions carefully. You often have to deeply penetrate an embedded stain, so make sure you use enough of the product to treat the entire area. Eliminating the odor will also minimize the chance of your pet returning to soil that area again.
5. Easy and washable. When choosing items for your pet and for your home, choose machine washable fabrics. Look for items with easy-to-remove washable covers to help keep your home clean and odor free. This includes your bedding, pet carriers and pet beds.
6. Wash. Wash all pet clothes, washable bedding, pet friendly furniture covers, rugs and mats at least once a week.
7. Remove the hair. Pet hair seems to "stick" to furniture, upholstery and clothing. Try using tape sheets and special pet hair vacuum attachments. You can also use a damp washcloth to help pick up stubborn stuck-on hair.
8. Keep floors clean. The floor is one of the hardest areas to keep clean and that can get very frustrating. Dogs are everywhere and their hair seems to go everywhere as well. A good quality vacuum can help remove pet hair from carpets.
9. Clean the air. Air purification devices help to reduce allergens and eliminate household odors.
10. Keep your dog clean. Dirt and doggy odor start with a dirty dog. Routine grooming and bathing is a "must" to help keep your home smelling fresh and clean. You can clean your home every day, but if your dog has "doggy odor" or if he is actively shedding, it will be hard to win the battle over odor and hair. Start with the source of the problem and keep your dog clean.
