Clean House + Pets = Possible!

Pets complete the feeling of being home to some homeowners. A constant struggle, though, is how to prevent pets from causing stains around the house. Below are just a few things you can do to prevent pet stains.

An easy way prevent muddy paws from ruining your carpet is to place mats both outside and inside your doors. You can also use products like Pet Wipes to further clean your pet's feet before letting them into the house. It's also a good idea to cordon off certain areas like the living room with gates or barriers.

Upholstery like sofas and couches are also frequent victims of pet stains. To counter this, you can use bedspreads or slip covers as protection. When they do get soiled, immediately take them off and throw them into the washing machine along with cold water, a half cup of vinegar, two tablespoons of bleach and detergent.

Make sure to spot and clean stains as soon as possible. However, be careful about the products you use to clean them. Most house cleaning products release noxious fumes than can harm not only your pets but also your family.

If you need professional help, some cleaning companies offer certified natural and green cleaning services that will leave your home both clean and safe.

With these simple tips, having both pets and a clean house is definitely possible.
