Pets bring joy and companionship to our lives, but they can also introduce extra cleaning challenges. Here’s how to keep your home clean and pet-friendly:

Regular grooming reduces shedding. Use a vacuum cleaner with a pet hair attachment to remove hair from carpets and furniture. For quick clean-ups, a lint roller or damp rubber glove works wonders.

Brush your pet daily to minimise loose hair.

Bathe your pet regularly to reduce dander.

Baking soda is excellent for neutralising pet odours. Sprinkle it on carpets and furniture, let it sit for a while, then vacuum it up. Washing pet bedding frequently also helps keep odours at bay.

Place air purifiers in rooms your pet frequents.

Accidents happen, but prompt cleaning is crucial. Use an enzyme-based cleaner to break down stains and odours, ensuring they’re thoroughly removed.

Blot up as much of the mess as possible with paper towels.

Apply an enzyme cleaner and let it sit for the recommended time before blotting again.

Consider using washable covers or throws on your furniture to protect it from pet hair and dirt. These can be easily removed and cleaned as needed.

Use slipcovers that can be washed regularly.

Train your pet to stay off certain pieces of furniture.

Create a dedicated area for cleaning your pet, equipped with grooming tools, towels, and pet-friendly wipes. This keeps messes contained and makes regular grooming more convenient.

Ensure the cleaning products you use are safe for pets. Avoid harsh chemicals that could harm your furry friends and opt for natural, pet-friendly options instead.

Avoid using ammonia or bleach-based cleaners around pets.

How to Clean with a Pet: Expert Tips for a Pet-Friendly Home

Decluttering your home can seem like a daunting task, but with the right approach, it becomes a manageable and even enjoyable process. Here’s how you can efficiently transform chaotic spaces into serene sanctuaries:

Begin with a small area, such as a drawer or a single shelf. This helps you build momentum and see immediate results without feeling overwhelmed.

Focus on one type of item, like books or clothes.

Sort your items into categories: keep, donate, sell, and discard. Be honest about what you use and love. Items that no longer serve a purpose should be let go.

Does this item bring me joy or serve a purpose?

Label four boxes as “Keep,” “Donate,” “Sell,” and “Rubbish.” As you declutter, place each item into one of these boxes. This method keeps you organised and focused.

Review your "Keep" box and ensure each item truly deserves a place in your home.

Allocate a specific amount of time to declutter each day. Even 15-20 minutes daily can make a significant difference over time.

Use the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break).

Once you’ve decluttered, establish a regular routine to maintain order. A quick daily tidy-up can prevent clutter from accumulating again.

Consider adopting a minimalist approach by keeping only items that add value to your life. This not only reduces clutter but also promotes a more peaceful living environment.

Be mindful of new purchases and their necessity.

If you find the process overwhelming or need extra help, A Plus Pro Solutions offers decluttering services. Our team can assist in creating a clutter-free, serene sanctuary tailored to your needs.

Decluttering Made Simple: Transform Your Home with Our Strategies

Maintaining a clean home while being kind to the environment is easier than you think. Here are our top tips for green cleaning:

Replace chemical-laden cleaners with natural alternatives like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. These ingredients are effective and safe for the environment.

All-Purpose Cleaner: Mix equal parts vinegar and water.

Glass Cleaner: Combine 500 ml of water, 125 ml of vinegar, and a few drops of essential oil.

Create your own cleaning solutions. For instance, a mix of vinegar and water makes an excellent all-purpose cleaner, while baking soda and water can tackle tough stains.

Scrubbing Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste for scrubbing sinks and tubs.

Floor Cleaner: Combine 125 ml of vinegar with 4 litres of hot water for a natural floor cleaner.

Opt for reusable cloths, mop pads, and brushes instead of disposable ones. This reduces waste and is more cost-effective in the long run.

Microfiber cloths for dusting and cleaning.

When buying cleaning products, look for eco-friendly brands that use sustainable practices and biodegradable ingredients.

Be mindful of your water usage while cleaning. Use a bucket instead of running water for tasks like mopping or scrubbing.

Use a damp cloth instead of a wet one for dusting.

Instead of artificial air fresheners, use natural options like essential oils, indoor plants, or a bowl of baking soda to neutralise odours.

Simmer a pot of water with citrus peels and herbs.
