How to Keep Carpets and Pets Happy at the Same Time

The laughter, the barking, the meowing, and the lovely song of birds. Pets and children are truly the greatest pleasure in our homes. Everything they do serves as a complement to the contentment of our life. However, all this merriness and cheerfulness is accompanied by a major responsibility.

Why Carpets and Pets Don’t Mix

Getting a pet is one of the purest forms of joy. You will be surprised to see how quickly a furry, beautiful, and candy-eyed puppy can get attached to you. But then again, the biggest concern with pets is how to keep the carpeting safe.

Every species of pet brings with itself a new challenge for cleaning and restoration of carpets. Some with hair, some with nails, and some with simply their waste. This is a major reason why many people are unwilling to get a pet for children. Dealing with pet hair, unwanted pests, scratches, and scrapes can be a hassle for homeowners. Things can get very complicated when it comes keeping both carpets and pets happy at the same time.

In today’s article we will you how to keep carpets and pets happy at the same time by following three golden rules.

Prudence

Cats and dogs should be properly trained not to relieve themselves near carpets. Teach them to use the sandbox or go to the yard. Even doing something as simple as forming a regular walking schedule will prevent your pet from defecating or urinating on carpeting. As for hamsters, birds, lizards, frogs, and other reptiles, you must buy a suitable cage to keep them at a certain distance. Furthermore, make regular visits to the veterinarian in order to make sure your pet is not carrying any harmful parasite. Ticks and fleas are the biggest rivals of your pets and carpets.

Cleaning and Maintenance

You should make a habit of regular vacuuming and washing the carpets if you own a pet. For dogs and cats, carpets should be vacuumed at least thrice a week to prevent pet hair from accumulating in their fibres. Also pour small amount of baking soda or homemade carpet cleaning solution once a week to disinfect the carpet fabric.

Pets carry more germs and bacteria than a toilet seat when they return form walks. These harmful contaminants are transferred to your carpet fibre where they infest and thrive. The best way to prevent such contamination from streets and pavement is to buy shoes for your pet. Alternatively, you can just clean their paws every time they come back home.

Believe it or not, but even fish tanks can become a source of contamination for carpets. It is imperative that you regularly change its water and keep its filters in proper condition. Several microbes which thrive in fish tanks can spread through air and infest in your carpets.
