How To Keep Your Carpet Clean With Pets

When it comes to having pets in our homes, most of us treat them like one of our children. They
sleep with us, play with us, and sometimes even eat with us. But when you have carpet in your
home, they can cause quite a mess. With all the love that our pets bring, they also bring things
like potty training, litter boxes, muddy paws after a big storm, fur in places we don’t even see,
and sometimes drool. So if you have a four-legged friend and need some tips to keep your home
feeling clean, keep reading!

Keep A Doormat And Towel By Your Door (Especially During The Rainy Seasons)

When it rains, it pours. Have you ever had a pet track those muddy paws all-around your home
after some time outside? It is no fun trying to get those stains out, so try cleaning your pet as
much as you can before they enter your home. Using a towel on their paws and fur before they
come back inside will not only prevent your carpets from staining, but that wet dog smell will
not take over your home when they come back inside. A doormat can also help the mess when
they run inside quickly, and you cannot get to the towel soon enough. Prevention is vital when
dealing with mud and carpet.

Keep A Mat Under The Litter Box

Cats are clean animals by nature. They are always cleaning and making sure their spaces are neat
and tidy. But when they use a litter box, they don’t mind shaking off their paws to keep clean,
even if it means litter landing on your carpets that you will have to vacuum later. Having a mat
under your cat’s litter box will prevent the mess they make when they shake their paws after
getting out, and it will prevent unwanted smells lingering deep in your carpet. Most pet stores
sell mats to put underneath litter boxes so you can avoid the mess as best possible. If you want to
go an extra step, try placing the litter box in the garage and letting your pet out as much as
possible throughout the day to prevent any accidents.

Buy Blankets For Your Pet

We all love cuddling with our beloved pets, but no one likes their carpets, bed, or couches to
smell like them. Having blankets designated for our furry friends will help with the smell, and
pets love having things of their own! Throw a blanket over your couch when you want to lay
with your dog or cat, and you won’t have to worry about the mess of fur they would have left
behind. The great thing about having a blanket for your pet is that you can move it wherever they
want to lay. Whether it be the carpet or your couch, your pet can sleep peacefully, and your mind
can be put at ease when you don’t have to worry about vacuuming the sofa over and over.

Dish Soap

Yes! You read that right. Dish soap can help get those tough stains out. If you leave the house for
a while or are potty training your puppy, dish soap can usually handle the mess until you can get
your carpets cleaned. Keep a bottle handy, so you can be prepared for the messes that come with
having a pet.

And If It Is Too Late For The Dish Soap Method

Hire a carpet cleaning company. Sometimes our pets leave messes that we cannot handle, and
there is nothing better than having your carpets professionally cleaned. When you get your
carpets cleaned, your pets are less likely to have accidents since the smell is fresh, and they aren’t
reminded that your carpets could be a place to “go” when they need to. Sometimes, we become
nose blind to the smells our pets leave behind, and it can turn guests away when they come to
visit. It is advised to get your carpets cleaned 1-2 times per year to keep your carpets smelling
brand new.
