Owning a pet is like living with a roommate who never cleans up after themselves.

Let\u2019s explore how to keep your home clean<\/a> – well clean-ish – while sharing it with your furry friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Pet Hair City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your house tidy when you have pets is like trying to organize a junk drawer\u2014it\u2019s a challenge. The best advice to overcome this challenge? Stick to a routine. You\u2019ll benefit greatly from a daily cleaning<\/a> schedule. Particularly in certain \u201cpet hotspots,\u201d simple vacuuming sessions work like magic.

<\/a>Pro tip: Keep lint rollers handy. They\u2019re great on everything from furniture to denim when you\u2019re in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fur, Fur Everywhere, and Not a Lint Roller in Sight.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pet hair spreads everywhere once it\u2019s inside your house. It can be found in your coffee, on your clothes, and occasionally even in the refrigerator. It\u2019s as if your pet is saying, \u201cYou may leave me, but I\u2019ll always be with you.\u201d

Our magic wands for pet hair removal? If you\u2019re cleaning by hand, grab a microfiber cloth. The tiny fibers in microfiber material are particularly adept at picking up fine fur and dander. If you\u2019re vacuuming, you\u2019ll need a good vacuum with a HEPA filter inside. HEPA filters trap small particles of dust and dander that traditional vacuums usually kick back out. You can buy HEPA filter attachments for just a few bucks on Amazon.

Eau de Pet: The Unmistakable Aroma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know that smell that says \u201cI live with a dog\u2019? Or a cat? Or three?\u201d Removing that smell isn\u2019t impossible, but it does take some regular maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regularly clean high traffic pet zones like litter boxes and food areas. For odors, baking soda<\/a> is your friend. Sprinkle a liberal amount on any pet stains or stinky areas, leave for a few hours, then vacuum it up. Baking soda absorbs odors rather than just covering them up, leaving your space fresh and stink-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fast and the Furriest: How to Beat Pet Stains and Spills.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pets have a knack for creating messes, usually as soon as you step out of the room. A little natural disaster can strike anytime, so keep a stain-cleaning kit on hand. When mishaps occur, keep in mind to blot rather than scrub. Blotting lifts the stain gradually while scrubbing can sometimes force the substance deeper into your rug fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Allergies? Just a Dander Problem<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For tackling dander, a decent air purifier<\/a> and routine vacuuming are essential. Make sure you use a HEPA filter vacuum if you\u2019re noticing pockets of pet hair around the house or are suffering from itching and sneezing. It\u2019s also a good idea to brush and bathe your pet regularly. You don\u2019t have to live in a pet hair snow globe just because you love your furry friends!
