We love our furbabies, but there is no denying that they are rather messy! Between animal hair, accidents and muddy paws, it can be a challenge to keep your home clean with pets. Here are some ways you can stay on top of your housekeeping while still having plenty of time to spend with your furry friends.
Keep a towel by the entranceway.
It will come in handy for muddy paws and rainsoaked fur.
Sweep or vacuum once a day.
Hate vacuuming? Consider investing in a robot vacuum cleaner that can be put on a timer to suck up fur, even when you aren't home. Check out these reviews here.
Use a placemat under their dishes.
Doing this will help catch water spillage and stray kibble- not that your pet would ever leave any food behind!
Use a non-toxic cleaner.
Tackle messes while keeping your pets safe from harsh chemicals with an eco-friendly cleaner, like Charlie's Soap Kitchen & Bath Cleaner.
Invest in a good lint brush.
Coarse fur can be a challenge to get out of carpets, upholstery and bedding. While a sticky brush might collect some of the hair, a product designed specifically for fur has a better chance of getting it out.

Stay on top of poop patrol.
Whether it's a litter box or an outdoor space, make bathroom duty part of your daily routine. Less mess, less smell.
