No matter how much you love your four-legged best friends, they can take a toll on your home.

From wiping muddy footprints from the floors to cleaning up hairballs or pet hair, your dogs and cats will keep you on your toes when it comes to cleaning up after them. It seems like having pets inside your home doubles the amount of housework you have to complete.

Pet hair seems to be everywhere if you have a cat or dog in the house. Certain breeds of dogs shed more than others.

Depending on the type of dog or cat you have, you might find pet hair tumbleweeds in the corners of your home, or find that your furniture is covered.

Sweeping or vacuuming pet hair off of hardwood floors causes a hurricane of hair blowing all around the room. There are a few solutions for combating pet hair floating around on your hardwood floors.

A damp terry cloth mop is a fantastic way to catch loose pet hair off of the floors. Another option is an electrostatic mop, which is an ideal alternative to a vacuum, as it won’t blow the hair around.

Carpet can seem like it is trapping the pet hair. It’s essential to find a vacuum that is designed for pet hair. A vacuum with a high-performance filter will help as well.

Depending on how many pets you have and what type of coat they have, you may find that vacuuming frequently is your best bet.

Pet hair on furniture can be a nuisance. Using a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down furniture is an optimal way to trap and remove pet hair. If you don’t have the heart to tell Fido he can’t come up on the couch, then wiping down your furniture with a damp cloth will help keep it looking its best.

Another way to help prevent pet hair throughout your home is to practice proper grooming with your companion. Frequent brushing and bathing can help reduce shedding. Keep your pet looking their best, and your house as well.

One of the most unfortunate events in pet ownership is an occasional accident. Whether your new puppy hasn’t quite gotten the hang of making it outside to go, or your best friend ate something he shouldn’t have, accidents happen.

Cleaning them up is not much fun, but living with a stain on your carpet is worse.

One of the most effective ways to remove pet stains from carpet is to use the blotting technique. Use a cloth to absorb as much of the mess as possible.

Don’t rub the mess, risking spreading it or driving it deeper into the carpet. Instead, blot the stain a few times to remove the excess liquid. Treat the stain with your stain remover of choice, and then continue blotting until the stain is gone.

When it comes to treating the stain, you can choose a store-bought stain remover, or try some home remedies. Whichever the case, it’s wise to test a hidden area of carpet to ensure it’s safe. Some effective household products include:

-Dish soap

-Vinegar

-Baking soda

-Hydrogen peroxide

Blotting the stain, then applying whichever solution you choose, and then blotting again, will help remove the stain effectively. Time is of the essence with pet stains, but if you can’t clean it up in a timely manner, you can often still successfully remove a set-in stain with this method.
