2021 Best Cleaning Tools for Dog Owners
It’s no secret that a life with dogs can be anything but clean. As adorable as your pooch is, they can’t help but bring their messy behaviors everywhere they go in your house. Whether it’s shedding fur, tracking in mud, or having an accident on the floor, dogs are just plain messy, and there are not much dog owners can do to change that. So grab your two best friends, reusable cleaning gloves and multisurface cleaner, and read on about how to lessen the doggie mess in your home!
Hair on Hardwood
As housing trends change, carpet has been quickly phased out. This is lucky for dog-owners as hardwood flooring is much easier to clean and see the fur you need to get. If you have the right vacuum, clean-up can be a breeze. But if your vacuum is a bit older and only seems to roll over the hairs, try a microfiber floor duster! Plus it’s more eco-friendly as it doesn’t use electricity and is reusable as the floor pads are machine washable.
Mopping Dirty Hardwood
Any hardwood owner knows that it’s difficult to find a good cleaner that won’t damage your beautiful floors. But with dogs, cleaning often is inevitable, so you need a safe cleaning option. Using a microfiber spray mop and hardwood-safe cleaner is one of the best solutions for your problem! You may also want to use a mop that is machine washable for big messes and finish off with a hard-wood polish.
Other Flooring & Messes
Not everyone has hardwood or dogs that chose to create messes in floor-specific areas. So how do you easily clean floors like tile, linoleum, vinyl, etc.? Using a regular mop and your favorite multisurface cleaner should do the job as warm-hot water and cleaner will clean any bacteria from the mess!
Couch Full of Fur
No one likes to plop down on their couch after a hard day at work and be surrounded by their dog’s fur. Luckily, this is an easy fix. If you have a quality vacuum, put it to work. Or you can use a fur-removing squeegee or a classic lint roller in a pinch!
Dog Smudgings on Glass
Dogs love to press their noses against your windows and glass doors to look outside. Unfortunately, their curiosity leaves a mark in the form of smudged glass. Using a glass squeegee and cleaner concentrate will leave your glass streak-free in seconds!
