Keeping a Clean Home With Pets in the House
By the In The Groove Cleaning team · Hamilton, OH
Pets add a lot to a home — and a bit more upkeep. A few habits make it easier to keep hair, dander, and odor from taking over between cleanings.
Vacuum more often than you think you need to
Pet hair and dander settle into carpet fibers and upholstery quickly, and a vacuum with strong suction and a brush roll picks up considerably more than a quick sweep. Furniture and stairs are easy to overlook but collect just as much hair as floors.
Wash pet bedding on a regular schedule
Pet beds and blankets hold onto odor and dander the same way human bedding does. Washing them regularly — and vacuuming underneath where they sit — keeps that odor from spreading to the surrounding room.
Address accidents right away
Pet stains and odors are much easier to fully remove when treated quickly, before they soak into padding or subflooring. Blotting up as much liquid as possible before applying any cleaning product gives the product a better chance to work on what's left.
Consider a more frequent cleaning schedule
Households with pets often do better on a weekly cleaning rhythm rather than bi-weekly or monthly, simply because hair and dander accumulate faster than in a pet-free home. It's one of the most common reasons our Hamilton clients choose a tighter recurring schedule.
