5 Tips for Keeping Your Carpets Clean with Pets

As home carpet cleaners, we hear quite a bit of complaints regarding their carpets, as there are a number of not-so-desirable things that can happen to it in a pet-friendly home. But don’t fret — there is good news for pet owners and their carpets! Read on for five simple tips for maintaining a clean and fresh carpet

1. Keep Them Clean

This tip goes without saying, but the cleaner your pet, the cleaner the carpet. And while maintaining a clean pet isn’t always easy when they love rolling around in mud or digging in the yard, keeping your pets clean can be easy as long as they are bathed or hosed off after instances like this occur. You may even want to keep a towel and a spray bottle handy by the door in order to gently wipe down their paws each time they enter the home from the outdoors.

2. Remember That Accidents Do Happen

As a pet owner, it can be easy to get frustrated when one of them decides to do their “business” in the home. Just keep in mind that even the most well-trained pets may have accidents from time to time, and that is just a part of the gig of being a pet owner. Having a simple pet stain remover or handheld steam cleaner on hand can work wonders, and as long as everything is cleaned up quickly, you should be able to fully remove it without any stains left behind. For the stains that are harder to clean, be sure to get in touch with a professional team of home carpet cleaners like the ones at Clean USA in Sycamore.

3. Vacuum Regularly

As a pet owner, you probably know just how quickly pet hair can build up around the home. By vacuuming regularly, you can avoid this buildup and keep your carpets smelling fresh and new. We suggest investing in a high-powered vacuum cleaner in order to really get into the fibers and ensure that it is able to pick up all of the pet hair. 

4. Confine the Issue

If you are a pet owner to a brand new, wiggly puppy, we highly recommend confining them to a specific area of your home without any carpeting during their first few weeks at home. Not only does this help you keep a close eye on them and ensure that they aren’t getting into any mischief, but you know that any accidents that they will have will not end up on your carpeting. If you do not have an area in your home that is large enough to keep the puppy all day, be sure to utilize a smaller area at night or when your pet has less supervision.

5. Have Professional Carpet Cleanings At Least Once Per Year

This tip is a game-changer for homeowners, as professional home carpet cleaners move your furniture and clean your carpets from head-to-toe with the best of the best methods and solutions for your specific type of carpeting.
