Keeping Your Home Clean with Pets | SERVPRO of Southeast El Paso

Without pets, our homes would be clean but our hearts would be empty. Many of us got “quarantine dogs” who spend a lot of time at home. This causes a lot of pet hair, dander, and dirt to accumulate in your home. It is possible to keep a clean home and have a pet at the same time, here’s how! 

Stop the Mess at the Door Stopping the mess before it goes through the door is key to keeping a clean home. Keep a bucket of soap and water or baby wipes next to the door to at least wash their paws before letting them head inside. 

Hair Removal Invest in a really great vacuum cleaner. You will end up wasting time and money down the line if you try to get a cheap one that doesn't have strong suction or a great filter. Spend 10 minutes a day vacuuming to prevent hair and dander from accumulating. 

Carpet Odors Urine, feces, or vomit on your furniture or the floor doesn’t mean you have to replace the whole carpet for it to be clean again. If your dog has an accident inside, it’s important to eliminate the smell completely with a store-bought cleaner or try a homemade one.

Machine Washable Supplies When it comes to pet supplies like toys, leashes, beds, and other items your dog uses regularly, you should find options that are easy to clean and won’t hold onto odors or stains. Find options that are machine washable and are easy to wipe down.
