3 Underrated Cleaning Tips to Fulfill Your Dream of Having a Clean House With a Pet

My friend has two kittens, Max and Luna, and a dog, Nemo, which she manages alongside her job as a doctor.

She once confessed to feeling overwhelmed with keeping her home clean with her hectic schedule.

But then, through trial and error and some desperate internet searches, she found cleaning hacks that were a total game-changer.

There are still some occasional “incidents.” But for the most part, keeping her home clean and fresh no longer feels like an impossible dream.

Isn’t it amazing!?

So, I asked her about her top three underrated cleaning tips to have a clean home with a pet, and she spilled the tea.

Let’s get into it and see what the real deal is.

TL;DR

• A DIY pet hair remover is effective and multi-purpose to manage your pet’s hair.
• Robot vacuums are a time-saver if you’re a busy pet owner.
• Pet odors can easily be managed with a natural DIY deodorizer.

1) Try a Makeshift Pet Hair Remover

Pet parents, I know you love and adore your pets. But there is one thing that you dread the most — pet hair all over your furniture and carpets.

Sometimes, the hair is so stubborn that even your lint roller gives up on it. However, there is one brilliant and easy hack that will take away all your woes:

• Take an old paint roller and wrap the sticky side of the duct tape on the outside.
• Now that your tool is ready, roll it over your carpets and upholstery and see the magic happen.
• Add more tape when you see the duct tape getting full of hair.

It’s quick, convenient, and even works better than your good old vacuum cleaner.

Plus, the duct tape’s adhesiveness makes it multi-purpose, so you can also use it to clean your vehicles.

Here’s another quick hack to pick your pet’s hair from those hidden corners:

Wrap the duct tape around a sponge or cloth– it works even for the most inaccessible corners.

Pro Tip: Test the duct tape on rough fabric first to ensure it doesn’t damage it.

2) Save Time With a Robot Vacuum

This tip is an absolute time-saver, especially for those of you who work from 9 AM to 5 PM.

My friend got her hands on a robot vacuum and mop cleaner last year, and she loves it!

The robot vacuum picks up your pet’s hair and other dirt and mops the hardwood floor, too — and you don’t even have to lift a finger!

The vacuum has a self-cleaning system and a self-charging system, too. You just have to set a schedule through the mobile app on your device for the entire week, and that’s it.

So sit back once you get home, relax, and enjoy cuddling with your pets while your cleaner buddy does the job.

Plus, it’s a great value for money, not to mention the time you’ll be saving.

3) Make Your DIY All-Natural Room Deodorizer

Everyone loves a home that feels as fresh as it looks. But sometimes, a weird smell clings to couches and carpets, and it does go away no matter which air freshener you use.

In such cases, you may also try out detergents and other cleaning items only to be more disappointed with the results.

What if I told you there’s a way to deodorize your home naturally and breathe easily?

Plus, it’s effortless; here’s what you need to do:

• In a spray bottle, mix 1/2 cup of warm water, 1/2 cup of vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
• Let the fizziness settle down, and then you’re good to go.
• Spray it on areas where your pets love to hang out.
• Let it sit for a few hours, and then you can vacuum it.

That’s all — easy peasy.

Baking soda is known for its amazing benefits, and it’s every pet owner’s best friend. This will help you get freshness that stays with you all day long.

That’s a Wrap

With these three simple yet effective cleaning tips, you can finally have a sparkling & fresh home.

Now, you won’t feel overwhelmed or stressed about unexpected guests. Focus on what matters and enjoy quality time with your fluffy friend.
