Pet
stains and pet odor
Make first your own
homemade stain remover and odor neutralizer for handling any emergency accident
caused by your furry friends that relieve themselves on somewhere other than
their litter box. The ingredients: white vinegar (half a spray bottle) and baking
soda (four full of teaspoons). Mix vinegar
with half a bottle of water, put in the baking soda, stir it well and then keep
it in a spray bottle. It is chemical-free,
effective and pet-friendly, you should try it.
Pet stain on the
carpet is one of the worst stains that might give you stress. It can leave permanent
marks and stinky smell if there is no immediate action. The faster you work
before the urine dries, the better.
What to do:
For fresh stains: soak
up or absorb the urine with paper towel/newspaper. Make sure to only dab the
stain as any pressure will make the urine deeper on the carpet fibres. Spray on
your homemade stain and odor remover, add dishwashing liquid if needed, rinse
it with clean water then dab it again to remove water with dry cloth.
For set stains:wet
vacuuming for deep cleaning. If your
homemade stain remover doesn’t work on the mark, use high quality store-bought
pet stain remover/odor neutralizer. Consider
to get professional carpet cleaners if you can’t clean it.
Don’t use steam
vacuum cleaner since the heat will make the stain permanent. Don’t use cleaning
chemicals as it might encourage your pet to do it again –right in the same
spot.

Pet hair
Your
pet’s soft fur can shed from time to time and unavoidably winds up everywhere
around the house. Experts said that pet hair most likely amass in places which
have high static charge or in other words, pet hair tend to build up in places
where the less air flows; thus it can hide in many spots even hard-to-reach corners
and crevices! Moreover, pet fur will surely be found in their favorite places
include your carpet and upholstery.
What
to do to remove pet hair:
You
need to invest in tools that able to reach and clean nooks and crannies around
your home perfectly. With its
flexibility and maneuverability to remove fur in every hard-to-reach spot of
carpets and hard floors, a high quality canister vacuum with powerful suction
and functional attachments which able to ease cleaning job is the number-one tool
that pet owners should have.
Vacuuming
is best to apply on carpeted and hard surface flooring. To avoid fur collecting,
you should vacuum at least once every two or three days; focusing on locations
where your dogs/cats love to spend their most of times while detailed cleaning
can be done once a month.
Depends
on the surface type which needs to clean, there are other tools that you can
also use to get rid of pet hair such as good dry mop and microfiber dust mop for
non carpeted floors; lint roller, tape, rubber gloves and damp cloth for
different surfaces like clothing, appliances and furniture.

use a broom as it tends to get the fur back into the air.

fur shedding:

and daily brushing your pets to throw away loose hair before it drops off. What
is more, you keep them clean and smell good.

right diet that able to lessen hair shedding.
