If your dog loves the outdoors as much as you do, it's likely that they will also be tracking in dirt and muddy paw prints, especially during the rainy months. It can be challenging to protect your flooring from stains and unwanted dirt. Stains can easily settle in, making it hard to remove deep down debris that may be under your carpet and well into the underlying padding. To stay on top of heavy dog traffic, you'll have to clean both your dog and your carpeting. Here are a few pet stain prevention tips that you can use to keep your Roswell home in tip top shape.
Create A Pre-Rinse Area
Having a specified area where your dogs can be rinsed or brushed off can really help cut down on the wear and tear of your flooring. A good location would be a garage or mudroom area where you can easily wipe your pets down before they come into the house. An area set up outside near the garden hose can be used if the dogs are really muddy. This allows you to get a head start on dirt before you give them an actual bath. Taking the time out to create a pre-rinse area for muddy situations can help prevent stains on your carpeting and furniture.
Set up A Dog Bathing Station
Even though a lot of the dirt may be rinsed off from your dog's paws, there can be additional caked on dirt as well as excessive dog hair. Setting up a bathing station means having all of your pet's grooming tools close at hand and near the sink. A double sink in the basement or laundry room is the best method for being able to wash your dog head to tail, eliminating dirt and tackling bad pet odors. Brushes, dog shampoo and a conditioning rinse can help control dirt which reduces floor staining throughout your home.
Have Your Carpets Cleaned
While you should always spot treat your carpeting when stains occur, a thorough cleaning from a ZEROREZ® professional can help grab stubborn dirt and prevent stains from setting in permanently. Even if you've had your carpets cleaned in the past, ZEROREZ® uses Zr Clean™ technology. This formulation targets deep down debris, loosens up dirt and lifts your carpet fibers up. The result is a clean carpet area that is also substance-free. Deep carpet cleaning from ZEROREZ® also reduces the chances of those stubborn stains from reoccurring.
Treat Pet Odor
Even after washing your dogs and cleaning your carpet, your home may still have lingering pet odors. Target these odors with ZeroStink, a revolutionary carpet and fabric odor attacker that breaks the molecular bonds in pet debris and not just masks the smell.
Combining several methods for pet stain prevention allows you to have clean floors so you and your pets can enjoy your home.
