Your dogs, cats and other cuddly creatures are good for you, but maybe not so good for your furniture or upholstery.
Fresh, clean upholstery and furniture is what everyone wants, yet when the pets jump up on them and "do their thing" there could be a problem.
Spots, stains and odors are common with upholstery and furniture when pets are involved.
Here are a few housecleaning and furniture cleaning tips for you:
Clean messes up quickly. Once you discover an “accident,” it’s important to grab a few paper towels and blot up the mess before it sinks down into the padding of the carpet. A good enzyme deodorizer like you might get from the vet helps with lingering odors, but of course it’s best to have a professional carpet cleaner come over to handle these odor challenges.
Hair is an issue. Brush your dogs or cats often. Loose hair is a problem for carpet and furniture, so keep your pets brushed as often as you can.
Dogs and cats that go in and out are a challenge as well. Muddy paws add soil to the home. it is a good idea to place mats inside and outside the door.
Just a few friendly reminders from Jeff Cross, the executive editor of Cleanfax, the magazine and online authority for upholstery and furniture cleaning professionals. Let me know if you have any questions. Send me an email at [email protected]
