SHARING YOUR HOME WITH PETS?

Check out these tips to keep it clean and smelling fresh With more than 29 million* pets in Aussie households, that’s a lot of fur to sweep up – and they don’t li‡ a paw to help! But our furry friends are worth every scrub. • Despite a ‘no furniture’ rule for your pet, we know what really goes on when you’re not home! Prevent sofas from ge‰ing covered in fur (and allergens!) by covering them with washable sheets.

• Invest in a vacuum cleaner with extra-strong suction, good brush action and a quality filter that cleans upholstery and floors.

• Add a lint roller to your cleaning caddy, plus compostable wipes such as DOG wipes by Dr Lisa for the body, paws and even bu‰!

•

Neutralise odours with bicarbonate of soda. Sprinkle it on rugs, carpets and even upholstery before vacuuming.

• Regularly wash pet beds, toys and leads, le‰ing them dry in the sun to help kill bad odours.

• For rainy days, keep a pet paw cleaner/washer by the front door to rinse muddy paws.

• Keep your pet’s nails trimmed and use small rugs that can be put through the wash.

• Stay on track of your pet’s flea control to avoid an infestation!

• For toileting accidents, apply a stain and odour remover formulated for pet messes. Smellbgone absorbs and destroys pet poo and urine odours on various surfaces in and out of the home.
