The gray clouds slowly pass by the window and the radiant sun shimmers through the window - actually a nice sight, if it weren't for the dirty glass panes. At the latest here it becomes clear: it is time for spring cleaning!
Anyone who has pets will certainly wipe the apartment or suck the sofa out more often than others anyway. For annual spring cleaning, however, it is welcome to be more thorough cleaning. With these tips, the four-legged apartment is clean again.
Reading tip:
Clean the musty carpets and animal beds
Whether dog or cat: pets like to have it cozy. Therefore, you definitely have some beds and carpets in the apartment, on which the four -legged friends like to rub themselves or let off steam with their toys.
Over time, not only crumbs and animal hair accumulate on the textiles, which disappear once again. Even unpleasant smells are determined.
You can simply put smaller carpets and beds in the washing machine for a fresh fragrance. This is a little more difficult for larger models. For the sake of chemical aids, for the sake of your animals.
An alternative, both for the environment and for the pet, is a mixture of vinegar: simply filling into a spray bottle and spraying the carpet with it. Don't worry in the event of a strong smell of vinegar: it flies after a while.
Clean or replace toys
Waterproof toys can best be cleaned with a steam cleaner, which you can also use for the floor or carpet, for example. Instead of buying one right away, you can often borrow the models in the hardware store or drugstore for a few hours.

But even without a steam cleaner, most toys can be cleaned in no time. You can simply put toys made of harder plastic in the dishwasher. Plush toys and removable covers come into the washing machine. Make sure that everything is dry before giving things back to your four -legged friend.
Tipp:Even if your hairy favorites may not want to separate from their toys, you should rather throw away completely chewed or destroyed objects and buy something new for them. In broken toys there is an acute risk of swallowing for pets.
Don't forget the leash and collar
Especially important for dog owners: the leash and the collar should also be cleaned regularly. Usually you get both clean again in the protective gear in the washing machine.
With very strong dirt, it is advisable to let the collar and leash work before you clean them. Fill a sink with warm water and a few drops of detergent.
Leave the dishes or collar in it for about 10 minutes and scrub out of contamination with a coarse brush. Then let both dry well and you are ready for the next walk.
Scratches in the floor? So you get rid of them again
Sure, you have already got the idea of sucking the floor and wiping. But apart from hair and dirt, our floors can be affected by playful four -legged friends.
Fortunately, small scratches in the ground can easily be wheeled away with a walnut. Simply grate the walnut carefully over the scratched areas and let it take effect for a few minutes. This allows the oil to be absorbed into the floor. Then dab slightly with a cloth - et voilà - the floor shines like new.

Attention: toxic cleaning agents for pets
You should definitely consider one thing in spring cleaning with pets: Many commercially available cleaning agents are poisonous for animals. For example, dogs and cats quickly run over a freshly wiped floor and then lick their paws. In the worst case, this can be quite dangerous.
So use natural products, such as vinegar and soda. Or buy animal -friendly cleaning agents that clean gently and harmlessly.
With these simple tips and tricks, you will certainly keep your home clean for you and your four -legged friend for a long time. Do you have more tips for spring cleaning with pet? Let us know on Instagram or Facebook - we always like to hear from you!
