Upholstery Cleaning -The Pet Owners Ultimate Guide
As a pet owner, keeping your home clean can feel like an uphill battle. If you have pet hair on your furniture and the appearance of mystery stains, it may feel as if it is impossible to have your furniture clean and spotless. But with some preparation and quick action, you can keep your upholstery looking spotless despite sharing your space with furry friends.
Tips for Preventing Pet Damage to Your Furniture
The easiest way to keep your furniture clean is to prevent stains and damage in the first place. Here are some useful tips to protect your upholstery:
Keep Pets Well-Groomed:
Regular brushing and bathing help remove excess fur and dirt from your pets before they spread it throughout your home. Trim your pets’ nails frequently to prevent accidental scratches on furniture. For long-haired or dense-coated breeds, consider professional grooming services.
Use Pet Beds and Mats
Use pet beds and pet throws in your pet’s favourite spots on your furniture. Your pet may resist at first but try positive reinforcement to persuade them to sit on the covers, this will create a barrier between their coat and the furniture fabric. The bed or throw can be washed and you will avoid pet odour and soiling on the furniture. Invest in plush pet beds and waterproof mats to protect both floors and furniture while keeping your pets comfortable.
Use Pet Gates:
This prevents destructive behaviours such as chewing, clawing, and unauthorized napping when you can’t actively supervise your pets.
Clip Pet Claws
Blunt claw tips reduce the risk of snagging delicate upholstery fabrics. Consult your veterinarian to learn proper and painless at-home claw-clipping techniques.
Clean Furniture Often
Invest in a pet vacuum and vacuum your furniture regularly using the accessories. Between professional upholstery cleanings, use lint rollers or hand vacuums to quickly remove stray pet hair. Surface debris accumulates over time and can lead to faster wear and tear on your furniture.
Have Your Furniture Professionally Cleaned
Find a reliable dry upholstery cleaning service provider in your local area and have them clean your furniture at least once a year. This will add years of useful life to your furniture and ensure that your furniture does not wear out before its time and have to be replaced.
We recommend dry upholstery cleaning because it controls the moisture used during cleaning, your upholstery will dry faster and look better.
Remember, these preventive measures can help maintain the longevity and appearance of your furniture while keeping your furry companions happy! 🐾🛋️
Dealing With Excessive Pet Hair
Containing all the fur flying through your pet friendly home is challenging! Patrol problem areas often to keep pet hair situations in check between deeper cleaning sessions. Here are some handy solutions for controlling pet hair on your furniture:
Vacuum Often
– Consider a pet vacuum if you don’t already have one. Most vacuum manufacturers have at least one pet model of vacuum. Use your vacuum ideally at least every other day with special attention to known shedding hot spots. Use the attachments to clean furniture and opt for vacuums with sealed systems and HEPA filters to capture all that pet hair.
Remove Surface Hair
– A quick 5-minute once over with masking tape, silicone brushes, or rubber grooming gloves lifts fresh deposits off fabric nice and easy between deeper cleaning.
Wipe Out Pet Hair
– Rubber pet hair removal tools with soft glove exteriors allow you to simply swipe hair away without damage to even delicate upholstery.
Consider a De-shedding Tool
– Gently rake undercoats to remove loose hair waiting to fly and shed with specially designed grooming tools. Making hair release easier and with less friction for pets takes the hair tornado down a few notches!
Tackle Tricky Areas
– Use crevice tools and detachable vacuum heads to fully reach between seat cushions, deep corners in sectionals sofas, and underneath chairs where hair hides.
Achieving Pet and Furniture Harmony
Creating a clean and spotless home when you have indoor pets has a learning curve attached. Puppy proofing vulnerable areas, designating pet approved furnishings, and quickly addressing the inevitable messes that pop up along the way will bring eventual success. Consistency brings the best results when you are training pets to keep paws, slobber etc. to appropriate spots. With some preparation and diligent effort, you can enjoy both pets and a beautiful home in perfect cozy harmony.
