Keeping A Clean Home When You Have Cats

• Cats are wonderful creatures, and many of us love
  them and have them as pets, however, they can
  make your home smelly and cause issues with their
  pet dander. Just because you love your pet cats,
  doesnt mean that you have to let them
  inadvertently spoil your home, so follow the
  below tips for keeping a clean home that is
  welcoming to both your pets, and visitors
• Groom your cat often
• Any hair trapped in a brush, is hair that isnt
  floating around your home or settling in the
  corners, and regular brushing of your cat will
  greatly reduce pet dander.

• Vacuum often
• This is the single most effective way to keep
  hair, dirt and dander to a minimum in your home,
  and you can even buy vacuum cleaners specially
  designed for tackling pet hair.
• Dont forget to clean your baseboards
• These are the areas that often get forgotten
  about, but are the prime zones for trapping cat
  hair, dander and other debris. Vacuum them and/or
  wipe them with a damp cloth frequently.

• Wherever possible, dont feed your cat in the
  kitchen
• If you can feed your cat outside, or in an area
  of your home that experiences less footfall, this
  would be the most hygienic solution.
• Put the litter tray in an appropriate place
• Litter trays can get messy, especially if your
  cat likes to scratch around in it after every
  use! Try to keep the tray as far away from where
  you most spend your time, and try to keep it on a
  wooden or tiled floor to help clean up spillages
  with ease and keep the area more hygienically
  clean.

• Provide your cat with a blanket
• Your cat will soon get used to sleeping on a
  blanket, and will even enjoy it, and since you
  can wash it regularly, you can help minimize cat
  hair and dander.
• Clean your counters often
• Even if you try to keep your cat off of counters
  and worktops, they can jump up there when your
  back is turned, and easily spread bacteria from
  their paws. Clean all counters often with an
  anti- bacterial solution.

6

• Aerate your home
• Theres no substitute for fresh air, and if you
  can open your windows to let air in on a regular
  basis, this will help reduce unpleasant odors.
• Alternatively, if you love your cat but dont
  love cleaning up after them, a professional
  cleaning service could be the best solution. With
  many schedules and affordable packages to suit
  all budgets, if you thought you couldnt afford a
  cleaner, you might want to think twice.
