Pet Cleaning Products

Written by Karen Bates (last updated December 13, 2021)

For those of us who own pets, our animal friends can be like a part of our family. We care for them, and in return they give us their love, loyalty, and humorous antics that endlessly entertain us. Although not everyone likes the responsibility of pet ownership, for many people it is worth all the effort.

Of course, there are various tasks that you must see to in order to ensure your pet's good health and happiness. One thing to consider is the amount of cleaning up you may have to do in regard to your pet. Dogs and cats shed, vomit, go potty, and leave their smell on all kinds of home surfaces. Even well trained pets can have the occasional accident. For this reason, it is important that you have pet cleaning products around just in case you need them. After all, you never know when your dog might get sick or your cat might decide the litter box isn't clean enough and use your carpet instead.

One of the most basic tools you will need is a good vacuum cleaner. This will rid surfaces of hair and dander effectively. If your pet is a heavy shedder, you may need to vacuum more often or invest in other hair-reducing products. Vacuum the floor regularly to keep things fresh in your home.

Another must-have pet cleaning product is an enzyme cleaner. This cleaner is very important for cleaning up accidents your pet may have in the house. By applying an enzyme cleaner to a soiled spot, you will greatly reduce the likelihood of your pet using that same place as a toilet again. The odor neutralizing capabilities of this cleaner remove the smell of urine of feces, which will help you breathe easier as well.

Pet cleaning wipes are a quick and easy way to clean up messes your pet leaves behind. Use these pre-moistened wipes to remove small messes and eliminate pet smells on many surfaces. Some wipes are even meant to clean off the pet itself for a fast way to freshen up fur.

When looking for pet cleaning supplies for your home, take into account what the surfaces in your home are made out of to reduce the likelihood of any damage, and be sure to read all labels carefully. Also, be sure you buy products that are free of harsh chemicals and safe for your pet.
