So many people run into the same dilemma when it comes to pets. Do you keep them outside or sacrifice your home and let them stay inside? It's a lose lose situation, seemingly. It does not have to be, however. There are some ways to keep your pets inside and your home nice, as well!
The first important thing is to know that you MUST vacuum often. Maybe even every other day. Whether or not they shed, there just seems to be pet residue everywhere if you keep it inside. If you keep up with your vacuuming, it will help tremendously.
Next, make sure your pet is cleaned and groomed often. Smelly pets laying on your sofa equals a smelly sofa. Keep it clean and your furniture will smell better.
Try to pick fabrics for your furniture that you know are fairly stain resistant. If you pick the most high maintenance fabric, it will be even more so with a pet!
When choosing flooring for your home, you'll be far better off if you have some sort of hard surface. Carpet may not show all the loose hair, but it will hold in the stench, and the hair is sure to resurface the second you put on black.
Replace your pets toys when they start to fall apart. It's as simple as asking if you'd rather have a torn up stringy something laying around or a rubber ball...This won't cost you too much either.
These are some great tips for daily life, especially if you are showing your home. Our homes can be seen at College Station Homes or Round Rock Homes.
