It’s time for spring cleaning, and your furry friend can make that more difficult for you. No one wants a stinky, messy house, so a tidy home is not only comforting but also crucial for you and your dog’s hygiene. Here are some recommendations for products to help you with the spring cleaning process and start some good habits.
Baking Soda
Not only is this a cleaning product your mother may recommend, but baking soda is great for eliminating odors. It is also free from toxic chemicals that will harm you and your pal. The classics are tried-and-true and have proven to be the best. Simply sprinkle the baking soda on stinky areas and then vacuum it away.
Vinegar
This is another product your mom may have on hand and is yet another classic cleaning solution. This is another product that is free from harsh chemicals. It is great for cleaning glass, countertops, floors, and showers & tubs. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle to use to clean up accidents around the house.
Furniture Covers
We all know how hard it can be to keep your furry friend off the furniture despite our desire for a clean and dog hair-free couch. A couch cover is a great solution to allow you to spend time with your pal and save time from cleaning the furniture. Covers come in many available sizes from love seats to couches and armchairs. You can easily throw the cover in the wash to remove stains and smells then place it back on the furniture and repeat! Here are some of our favorite covers for you and your pooch.
Toy Bin
While this is not a cleaning product, having a place to store your companion’s toys is great for providing a clean look. It also helps keep toys in a place to stay clean and free from getting stepped on or collecting dirt. Bins are available in a variety of sizes and colors to help you organize your home.
Lint Rollers
Being a dog owner it is likely that you have at least one of these. If your supply is low or your pup is shedding the winter coat, it’s time to stock up! These are great for removing pet hair not only from clothing but from furniture and other surfaces.
Handheld Vacuum
In addition to your full-size vacuum, it is convenient to have a small, inexpensive vacuum to target pet hair and smaller messes. We all have problem areas such as stairs, couches, dog beds, and your furry friend’s favorite spot that always needs extra cleaning. A small portable vacuum is a great way to keep up on small messes to keep your house clean.
Other useful products include dog air purifiers, a leash & key rack, and de-shedding brushes.
While there are countless other pet supplies for you and your dog to enjoy, these basics will make a world of difference in your home. Now that you have all the tools to help you this spring, it’s time to get to work!
