Cleaning Tips
Cleaning Tips & Ideas
| 1 | “Each weekend, we clean the rugs, floors and crate of our Doberman. We give him a bath every 2 weeks, but use baby wipes to wipe off his paws in between baths when he gets really smelly!” – Rebecca R. and dog Toby of Mount Orab, OH |
| 2 | “The trick for cleaning is to keep up with the grooming of your cat. I use a wet facecloth to clean my cat twice a day (a.m. and p.m.) since you know they hate water and the bath. I also use different types of brushes and she loves it, except the underside.” – Carolyn C. and cat Daxie of Nutley, NJ |
| 3 | “For Petey’s water and food bowl, I use a rubber mat for when he gets messy – that way I just pick up the mat and scrub it clean in the sink instead of having to lug out the mop and broom.” – Jeffrey M. and dog Petey of Amarillo, TX |
| 4 | “In the summer I leave a trough of water in our backyard and that seems to clean off most of the loose hair and dirt they collect during the day. Then use the water to freshen up the grass every evening.” – Darryn M. and dogs Da’Kine & Haole of Vancouver, WA |
| 5 | “My tip to keep my Mom’s formal sofa clean from Sophie’s hair is to keep it from getting dirty. I lay tin foil on it and Sophie won’t get on it because of the sound and feel. Cats don’t like tin foil!” – Judy S. and cat Sophie of Ramsey, MN |
| 6 | “To get ground-in pet hair off carpet, especially on the stairs, I use a window squeegee. It’s like a hair magnet!” – Katie P. and Maizy of Denver, CO |
| 7 | “Tiger loves to play outdoors, so we’ve taught him to stop and eat a small treat at the back door while we clean his paws and fur before coming inside!” – Cathy M. and cat Tiger of Lynnfield, MA |
| 8 | “Vacuum three times a day!” – Janet R. and dogs Bryse, Tyler, Glenys, Morgan, Gwen, Aled, Kyrkie, Ceri and Miley of Birmingham, AL |
| 9 | “Using a … dog comb has reduced the amount of fur on the carpet and furniture. Then in the middle of the week, I take the vacuum around and just use the nozzle to pick up the hair fluff on the hardwoods. Never ending job, I might add.” – Kay A. and dog Garrett of Cumming, GA |
| 10 | “For embedded hair on furniture I moisten a rag with water or fabric refresher, wipe it down and then vacuum.” – Laura C. and cat Angelina of Round Lake, IL |
