Learn how to maintain clean rugs without compromising on quality time with your pets.

Rug Care with Pets

There are a couple of ways you can practice keeping a clean rug with pets in your home:

• Act Fast: Clean messes fast to stop stains and odors from getting on your rugs. The faster you clean, the lower the chances of damage.
• Don't Rub, Blot: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to always blot the area. Rubbing will cause the stain to seep deeper into the rug fibers.
• Pet-friendly Products: Don't use harsh cleaning chemicals that could be harmful to your pets. Use cleaners that are pet-safe instead.
• Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum your rugs in a routine basis to prevent the buildup of fur, dander, and dirt, which can prevent smells and health issues.

Prevent Pet Odors & Stains

A few ways you can prevent pet odor and stains on your area rugs are:

• Spot Clean Immediately: Cleaning accidents quickly is the best way to prevent stains and smells from developing.
• Using Deodorizers: When cleaning up an accident, you can try using odor neutralizers like baking soda or pet-safe sprays.
• House Training: Potty training your pets will make sure they don't leave accidents or messes on your favorite rugs.
• Limit Access: Keep your pets away from your rugs by giving them limited access, which can help avoid any accidents.
