We've teamed up with our friends, the
DIY Guys again and CityDog Magazine to drop some knowledge on how to maintain your clean home with a furry friend.
Your pet is family, but dogs can contribute to a lot of mess in the home. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on regularly scheduled cleaning services or specialty products to keep up with fur, paw prints, scratched furniture, and stains, consider some money-saving tips
from
Transparent Cleaning Co. for keeping your home
neat, clean,
and odor-free.
Begin at Entry Doorways
It's smart to keep an inexpensive mat at the entrance of any door where your dog comes and goes. This can capture some of your pet's muddy, snowy, or wet paw prints before they get tracked into your home. A great alternative to a regular rug or welcome mat is a bathmat, as they're very absorbent. It's also a good spot for making your pup stop while you wipe his paws clean and dry with a towel stashed nearby.
Window Cleaning
Dogs love windows. Even when they are inside, they can use our windows to watch squirrels, protect the house from cats, and alert us when the mailman arrives. But all of those observations can lead to smudges and nose art. If you don’t want your view distorted by streaks and smudges from wet dog noses,
call Transparent Cleaning Co. to give your windows a good cleaning.
Keeping Up With Dog Hair, Odors, and Dirt
A quick and easy way to ensure your hard flooring is kept free of dog fur on a daily basis is to use a microfiber mop that you can roll around in a cinch without having to drag out a vacuum. Other options are a cordless vacuum or a robotic vac that automatically roams around the room picking up dirt and hair without you having to do anything. The initial purchase may be a little pricey, but in the long run, you'll save money over hiring cleaners.

Readying a Home Sale With Pets
If you're preparing to sell your house, you might need to make some repairs and updates, which can include replacing a pet-stained carpet, repairing damaged yard turf, or refinishing scratched-up hardwood flooring. Although you might not smell it, your dog has likely permeated your home with her natural odor, a few accidental stains, chewed furniture, and other damage that can put off a potential home buyer.
One reason why your pooch may be having accidents or excessively chewing on furnishings is stress, especially if she’s out of the puppy stage. When you prepare your home to show to potential buyers, decluttering is part of setting the stage, and this will help with de-stressing as clutter can be a big cause of anxiety in people and pets. Keep in mind that if you are under stress, perhaps because of issues at work, that can rub off on your dog, too. Taking measures to address your own stress and you should see an improvement in your pup.
Clean Homes and Dogs
It needn't cost a fortune to live in a clean environment with your dog. Follow a few or all of the tips above when dealing with your pet's emergency messes and everyday shedding.
