All pet owners know that it is difficult to maintain the house in good order if you have a furry friend. The problem is not only with their fur, but they can easily create a mess in the house. For sure, if you have a housekeeper, you do not care about this problem, but in most cases, you should take care of them by yourself. That is why it is essential to know simple tips for cleaning the house to simplify your everyday life with your pets. Each tip is solving a specific issue without significant time resources.
Use a Lent Roller
This is the most attractive solution considering the price versus result. This simple device consists of a plastic handle that perfectly fits the hand and removable white sticky lent (scotch-type sheets). For each cleaning procedure one round of this lent is used, until it becomes dirty and not sticky during rolling 360oC on the surface, and then this upper sheet is removed. Each lent cartridge is enough to perform up to twenty cleaning procedures and is easily exchanged with the new one. The purpose of use is not only for removing fur and dog’s hair from the sofas, chairs, carpet, clothes but also can be used to remove debris from other home and car interiors. The most vital advantage of the roller is that in most of the cases it does not destroy any type of the material, only deleting unnecessary hair, fluffs from it.
There are several types of lent rollers available: every day, miniature travel version, increased steaking activity, special edition for pets, and extra-large with the increased surface. But in general, all of them will be a perfect solution for a pet’s hair. Every local market has a lent roller from different Manufacturers, which generally differs only by the adhesive conditions of a sticky lent.
Use a Vacuum Robotic Cleaner
For sure, a vacuum cleaner is a well-known tool for cleaning the house. But recently, its new version appeared – a robotic vacuum cleaner. A robotic cleaner is a small vacuum system with a round-shaped design that can clean the house based on the set programs without human interference. Most of these cleaners have one or two moving brushes that help achieve remote corners and collect all garbage, dirt, and pets’ hair. Some cleaners can go below the sofas and cupboards to collect dust there; some are equipped with wet mode. The cleaner needs access to the power to their docking station; after each cleaning procedure, the robot can come back there and charge itself automatically.
You can set the program for dry everyday cleaning to fresh carpet and floor. You can check the work remotely with a mobile app that is highly convenient as the robotic cleaner is equipped with a wi-fi module. After each cleaning, it is required to clean plastic containers where all garbage is collected, brushes, and a filter; the overall procedure reaches hardly five minutes. If a cleaner has a wet mode, you need to fill a particular container with water and, after cleaning, dry the internals.
If you are interested only in cleaning pets’ fur and hair, you do not need a wet mode. Without this mode, the robotic cleaners are cheaper. For this purpose, an excellent proposal on the market is Roomba i3 vs. j7, they can clean for 75-90 min the floor collecting up to 96% dust, pet hair, kitty litter, dry products, sand, etc. Furthermore, the cleaner can clean within set boundaries or the whole flat or house without getting stuck in the narrow points and missing the spot; the sensors are used to navigate the house. Some cleaners have an advanced electronic system that creates a map of each room with all obstacles.
The nice feature of all robotic cleaners is that they work almost noiselessly, significantly different from standard vacuum cleaners. So, having a robotic cleaner, you will forget about the mess on the floor, which will be removed automatically.
Use simple, natural, and cheap products to remove stains and odors
Unfortunately, fur and hair are not the only problems for pet owners; pets can leave some smelly liquids. There are many chemicals in the shops for each preference and budget, but there are simple natural solutions based on available products in every home. For example, a mixture of lemon, baking soda, and vinegar can eliminate all unpleasant odors and clean the spot of misfortune on every surface – floor or carpet. It is crucial, as a pet will not go there again without the smell.
These products (separately or as a mixture) can clean many domestic facilities as they kill bacteria, unclog the drains, clean kitchen appliances, remove calcium deposits from metal taps, clean windows and glasses, and other miscellaneous needs. In addition, there are some other domestic products, ketchup, Coca-Cola, and coffee grounds, that help clean stains in different locations. So, you can eliminate all stinky and messy pet leftovers without expensive chemicals, and all the surfaces will not be spoiled from your actions.
