Carpet Cleaning 101 for Pet Owners

The Difficulty of Keeping Carpet Clean with Pets

When you have a dog or cat, keeping your carpets clean can sometimes be a difficult task. Pets have accidents, track in mud, and leave hair in your carpet that can cause allergies. But no matter how messy your little furball is, we know that you still love your pet! So is it possible to have the best of both worlds: clean carpets and a messy pet? Having clean carpets and a pet is definitely possible if you are willing to put in the work. Here are some tips on how you can best take care of your carpets when they receive too much love from your pets!

A Cleaner Pet Equals Cleaner Carpet

If you are in the beginning stages of looking to buy a furry little friend, we have some suggestions for you! In addition to choosing a pet with a personality that fits your family, if you are concerned about keeping a clean home, it may be worthwhile choosing a pet that is also smart and clean. When it comes to dogs, some breeds are more intelligent than others. What does this have to do with clean carpets, you may ask? Well, the smarter the dog, the easier it will be to train. The easier the dog is to train, the fewer accidents they will likely have on your carpet. The five most intelligent dogs you may consider for your next family pet include the Border Collie, the Poodle, the German Shepherd, The Golden Retriever, and the Doberman Pinscher. The cleanest dogs out there when it comes to shedding are the Tibetian Terrier, the Maltese Terrier, the Shih Tzu, the Portuguese Water Dog, and the Poodle.

For those that already have a pet at home, there are many things you can do to help keep them cleaner! For example, bathe your dogs regularly and wipe their paws after they have been outside in the mud. It will also help brush your pet daily to help reduce the amount of hair that ends up in your carpet. If you are feeling extreme, you can teach your pets to stay off the carpet entirely - or at least keep them on a wood or tiled area while you are not home to make sure they don’t have an accident.
