How Pet Owners Can Keep Their Carpets Clean

What would we do without having man’s best friend in our lives? Any animal lover will tell you that a person’s pet is a constant source of joy and pleasure. They provide comfort when we have a tough day at the office. They celebrate our milestones with us by simply refusing to leave our side. And, let’s face it, they are great snugglers when we settle in for a movie marathon on the couch. The family dog or cat are our companions through thick and through thin, and it’s hard to imagine our lives without them and everything they do for us.

As much joy as your pets bring us on a daily basis, there is one slight con to having a furry companion in your home; the near constant maintenance required to keep your home looking its best. From the constant shedding to even the occasional accident, we’re sure that your vacuum cleaner or broom is never too far away when you have a dog or a cat nearby. Fortunately, that setback is minor when you stack it up to how much happiness man’s best friends can bring us, especially when you know the best ways to keep your carpets consistently fresh and clean.

For all fellow pet owners and lovers out there, here are a few recommended ways to keep your carpets clean and odor free.

Know How Often to Vacuum

Just because you don’t often SEE evidence that your pet sheds, trust us, they do. Even factoring that out for a moment, dander on your pets is an invisible barrier that stands in the way between you and a clean home. According to Amerifirst Home Mortgage, the more dander that is present, and the more time it has to build up, a home’s carpet becomes weighed down and produces and unpleasant odor. Fortunately, the solution is simple; vacuuming the carpet and yes, the furniture of your home at least twice a week is the best way to prevent lingering odors.

Keep Your Pet Clean

One of the best things you can do to ensure that your home is as clean as possible is to make sure that your furry friend is as clean as possible! Frequent grooming and baths is not only beneficial for your pet’s health and hygiene, but it will reduce the amount of hair and odors that end up on your furniture and carpeting. Sounds like a good idea to us! Amerifirst also strongly urges that part of this grooming process must include keeping your pet’s nails trimmed to avoid snagging carpets or rips in furniture, leaving further opportunities for a disheveled looking carpet over time.

Use a Pet-Friendly Carpet Cleaner

Not all carpet cleaners are created equal. Make sure that you have a carpet cleaner on hand that keeps your pet in mind. Having this type of product within hand’s reach in the house ensures that the moisture from an unfortunate (and hopefully infrequent) accident does not become embedded in the carpeting. It also removes the odor in a way other cleaners that don’t keep your pet in mind may not.
