Pet Owner Holiday Cleaning Tips - 5 Holiday Cleaning Tips For Pet Owners
As pet lovers we tend to be oblivious to the odor
, and airborne hair and dander that often come with having a pet as a family member.But, if you're planning to host the office, neighborhood, or community group in your home during the holidays, for best results you'll want to use these cleaning tips so that your guests (even those who are not pet lovers) have a great time in your home. Before you begin, make sure to ask about all cleaning products that will be used in your home, and verify that they are pet safe.
Clean the Carpets and Rugs--Have a professional company clean your carpet and rugs. Both hold stains and dirt that you can see, but they also hide the source of odors and other pollutants that are not visible. If done right, your carpet will look and smell better than it did when it was new.
Look for seasonal coupons in your mailbox that offer this service. It's true that you can rent equipment and do it yourself; but unless you've done this kind of cleaning before, trying it for the first time just before the party may not be the best idea, and could possibly end up costing more with results that are not as good.
Clean the Windows--If your pet drools on your windowsills and/or leaves nose prints on windows, the glass on your storm door or sliding doors, be sure to clean these away, particularly in the rooms where your guests will spend most of their time.
As pet owners we may find their nose prints endearing, but others might not see them as being so appetizing from across the buffet table.
Clean, Vacuum, and Roller Upholstered Furniture--If your pets are allowed on the furniture, make sure you have your furniture cleaned if there is an odor. Vacuuming the carpet and the furniture is a great way to remove most of the pet hair that has fallen. Take the hair out of chair by removing any remaining hair with a pet roller with sticky paper. This will help you avoid the embarrassment of having your guests' clothes covered with hair after sitting on your furniture.
Engage a Home Cleaning Service--Having a cleaning service come in and clean your home before the party is a real treat and a fair exchange for all the extra work that hosting the gathering creates. Many services are reasonably priced, and having someone else clean your home will free up your time to be creative with decorations and food.
But beware, having a cleaning service take care of your home regularly can be habit forming.
Clean the Air--Use a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air purifier to remove airborne hair, fur, dander and odor that are a part of being a pet owner. That first impression is crucial to the success of your party, and you want to be the only one that greets your guests at the door, rather than having an embarrassing pet odor beat you to it.
Cleaning the air is a great way to freshen your home every day and make it a nicer place to be for you, and for those who may not be the pet lover that you are. Your guests will marvel at how wonderfully clean your home looks and smells. Your family and friends will appreciate the time and effort that you've spent to make your home sparkle.
