Being a proud pet parent, you are probably well aware of the challenge of maintaining clean floors. Pets add joy and companionship to our lives but can contribute a little extra mess. Fear not; with the right strategies, it’s possible to enjoy the pitter-patter of cute paws without surrendering your floors to dirt and damage. Check out these 11 tips for maintaining clean floors with pets.
Tile, luxury vinyl, and stone are durable and easy to clean. These materials resist scratches and are less likely to harbor allergens. Flooring types to avoid are carpet and untreated hardwood that pets can easily stain and damage. Consider replacing your flooring if these are your original materials.
Create a schedule that includes daily sweeping or vacuuming and a weekly deep clean for best results.
Occasional mopping with a gentle cleaner will keep tiles shining. Pay attention to the grout, which may require specific cleaners.
Address accidents as soon as they happen. Blot, don’t rub, to absorb as much as possible.
Chemicals in some cleaners can be harmful to pets. Ensure any product used is safe for your four-legged family members.
