Do you have dogs? If you think the mere presence of your four-legged friends means you can't have a clean house, take a look at the easy ways to keep your space nearly mess-free — with professional help.
Schedule Regular Cleaning ServicesThe fur your dog sheds and the muck they bring in from their walks outdoors can coat your home in an unsightly and unhealthy layer of doggie debris. How can you beat the mess? If you don't have time to constantly clean up after your pup, a professional may be the answer to your dog-debris woes. A regular professional cleaning service can:
- Remove the fur.
To remove pet fur and dander, you'll need to vacuum regularly. This includes the flooring and all soft surfaces or upholstery (furniture, décor, and window treatments). A regular cleaning service will remove fur and reduce the number of times you need to vacuum.
- Clean the floors. Shedding fur isn't the only issue pet owners have. If your dog tracks in dirt and other debris, a professional can regularly clean hard and soft floors. This service keeps your wood, tile, or carpeted floors pristine and streak-free.
- Reduce the odor.
Does your dog leave behind a lingering odor? Whether your pup isn't housebroken or they smell like the great outdoors, regular professional cleaning can help to eliminate odors from your home.
- Keep stains under control.
What's the best way to prevent a pet urine stain? If you're not sure how to clean your pet's constant messes, a professional can stop stains before they start.
How often should you schedule regular cleaning services? The answer depends on your pet and your home's needs. Some pet owners need a weekly house cleaning, while others may need expert-level help more often. If you have a busy work schedule, children to care for, or other responsibilities, you may need frequent cleaning services to save time.
Book a Deep-Cleaning ServiceEven though weekly cleaning services can reduce the pet mess and indoor odors, you may not need constant help in this area. Whether you have the time to clean up after your pup or your budget doesn't have room for weekly services, a once-in-a-while deep cleaning is an option to seriously consider.
Why schedule a professional deep-cleaning service? If you're a dog owner, this alternative can:
- Give your home a clean reset.
Have years of pet fur, mud, and muck left your home less than clean and pristine? Reboot your fresh home with a one-time deep clean. This removes the ground-in debris and lingering odors, leaving your home easier to clean in the future.
- Remove stains.
Do your carpets, floors, and upholstery have pet stains that you can't remove yourself? A one-time deep clean can remove or reduce these unsightly marks.
- Get your home ready for guests.
Show off your home to guests — minus the pet hair, stains, and smells. If you're having friends or family over for dinner or an overnight visit, hire a cleaning service for a one-time deep clean.
When you schedule your home's deep pet clean, let the professional know what areas you want them to focus on. If your dog destroyed your carpet or has made a mess of a specific room, tell the cleaner what needs the most attention right now.
Combine ServicesWhile a deep cleaning can save money over time, sometimes it just won't do enough to keep your dog-filled home clean. What can you do to save money and maintain a fresh, healthy space? The easiest answer is to combine services.
Instead of scheduling regular cleaning or one deep clean, set up monthly or quarterly services. This strategy provides you with a professional-level clean, minus the weekly expense.
