October 2023 – Tips for a Spotless Home with Pets

Living with pets is a wonderful experience, but it comes with its fair share of cleaning and organisation challenges. Furry friends bring joy and companionship into our lives, but they also bring a bit of mess. In this months blog, we’ll explore some practical tips and tricks to help you maintain a spotless home while sharing your space with your beloved pets.

Invest in Pet-Friendly Fabrics:

When it comes to furniture and decor, consider pet-friendly fabrics like microfibre or leather. These materials are easier to clean and less likely to trap pet hair or odours. Additionally, using washable slipcovers can be a game-changer when accidents happen.

Regular Grooming:

Frequent grooming of your pets not only keeps them looking their best but also reduces shedding. Brush your pets regularly to prevent excessive hair from accumulating on your floors and furniture. This simple step can make a significant difference in your home’s cleanliness.

Pet Hair Management:

For pet hair removal, invest in a quality vacuum cleaner designed for pet owners. Vacuum high-traffic areas, pet bedding, and upholstery regularly to keep pet hair at bay. Our team are happy to help get into those pesky, hard to read corners for a real deep clean.

Stain and Accident Cleanup:

Accidents happen, especially with young or elderly pets. Quickly clean up accidents with an enzymatic cleaner designed to eliminate pet stains and odours. Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners, as they can attract pets back to the same spot. We offer add on services such as carpet cleaning with the lovely Kylie to get that good as new, fresh feel.

Toy and Accessory Organization:

Keep your pet’s toys and accessories organised in bins or baskets. This not only helps prevent tripping hazards but also keeps your pet’s belongings in one place, making it easier to find and put them away.

Maintaining a spotless home with pets doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task. By implementing these pet-friendly cleaning and organisation tips and with the help of the MTDL team, you can create a clean and harmonious living space for both you and your furry companions. Remember that living with pets means embracing some level of mess, but with the right strategies and help in place, you can enjoy a beautiful and clean home alongside your beloved animals.
