Home Maintenance Tips and Tricks for Pet Owners

Home ownership means home maintenance and that includes protecting your home against the damage and devaluation that pet problems can cause. I know getting rid of your fur babies is not an option, so here are some things to do instead:

Manage Pet hair and shedding by grooming your pets regularly. Invest in a vacuum cleaner designed for pet hair. Regularly use lint rollers on furniture and clothing. Use washable covers on upholstery to help control the hair and protect it from damage.

Control pet odors by cleaning frequently especially in places your pets spend the most time in. Air purifiers can help remove dander and odors. Pet-safe deodorizers break down smelly molecules instead of just masking them.

Protect your floors using washable area rugs in high pet-traffic areas. Wash them frequently.

Keep your yard free of pet waste, and have it treated regularly for bugs like fleas and ticks using pet-friendly control methods.

Change your AC filters every 30 days to help trap hair and dander. Address pet damage quickly and correct behaviors that may lead to costly repairs.
