But if you want to perform DIY cleaning, then the following tips will assist you
to a great extent:
 Keep Basic Cleaning Tools Handy
When you have pets at a house, you have to keep the cleaning aspect of your
home on the top of your list. Keep all the basic cleaning tools handy to get rid
of pet hairs, dust from your floors, carpets or furniture. Place an old towel or
cloth along with a small bowl in area where the pet sits.
 Remove Pet Hair From Rugs
Are you getting annoyed at seeing pet hairs on your rugs? How do you remove
them? There is a great technique that will help you get rid of pet hairs from
your carpets and rugs.
All you need is a vacuum cleaner with high suction power and a rubber rake.
First, vacuum the surface in different directions to suck the loose hairs. Now,
use a rubber rake to get rid of strands that are stuck deep between the fibre of
your rug.
 Keep The Paws Clean
When you take your pet out of the house, make sure you place a piece of cloth
and water bowl just outside the main entrance. Before your pet enters the
house, clean up his/her paws with water and make them dry using cloth. This
is one of the best ways to resist dust and dirt from getting inside the house.
Tip: Use pet wipes to keep their paws clean and germ-free and maintain your
pet's health.
 Get Rid of Pet Hair From Clothing And Upholstery
Keeping the clothing and upholstery clean is a real challenge when pets are
wandering around you. To get rid of pet hairs from clothing, use tape roller.
Tie a ribbon through the handle and hand it from your doorknob inside your
wardrobe. Just run it over your clothes to remove pet dandles.
