I get this question a lot from people when they visit our house. “How do you keep it so clean with your pups?” Believe me friend, it’s been a process. I have tried different products, and I have made sure to make it priority. Anyone with pets knows that it isn’t easy to keep your place clean and tidy all the time, but I do my best.

Combat the Hair

One of my dogs sheds a lot. We love our sweet Ranger boy, but he has always been known to shed. Everyone thinks you get a Labradoodle, and they won’t shed. Wrong. I have learned to love the vacuum and lint roller. I purchased the Dyson animal vacuum, and it has been life changing. There are more than 5 different attachments that make vacuuming the floors a breeze. I am even able to vacuum the hair off the couch and our bed.

What’s that Smell?

As a pet owner you definitely get nervous when someone comes over and asks that question. I have learned that it is best to have scented plug-ins working at all times. This helps with the “dog” smell and really can brighten up your home. I also use the Febreeze animal spray on my couch and our bed daily.

Stain Game

I love neutral colors and light colored furniture. So, it’s no surprise that I have to have something to keep those beautiful colors clean. I have found that spraying your furniture and rugs with Scotch Guard definitely helps with the stains. Ranger loves to lay on the couch, and his allergies make him itch. He chews at his feet, so we used to have large wet spots from the chewing. Not anymore! After Scotch Guarding the couch we have found it has helped tremendously.
