Pets and your soft furnishings. Can we all live in harmony?
Pets are one of the family, we love to share our home with them but can we all live in happily together in our homes?
Dogs love to be with us, they will want to share our new sofa even though you have bought them an expensive dog bed.
Its inevitable that over time they will bring a lot of the outdoors inside, so what can be done to restore sofas and chairs after dogs and cats have used them?
A regular vacuum will help to keep soil levels down in your furniture, we suggest twice weekly to ensure that abrasive content such as grit and sand will not prematurely damage upholstery fibres.
With advanced cleaning equipment, upholstery fibres can be returned to an almost new condition.
Pets on our furniture
Dog hairs, dander, sand, soil, fluff, dust and much more will be brought into our homes.
Soft furnishing in our house will harbour allergens and bacteria too, sometimes an increase in soil levels is not obvious.
Action you can take to help
Regular grooming is a good idea. Try to remove as much content from your dog or cats coat weekly.
After your dog has had a walk, its always a good idea to brush off or rinse their coat with water before they come into your home.
By doing this you can actually reduce the level of soils and the transfer into your carpets and sofas.
Also our pets like grooming, its a bonding exercise!
Barrier matting is always a worthwhile consideration.
There are some very effective barrier mats available, placing one at your property entrance and back door can catch a lot debris over time.
Avoid the use of carpet fresheners that can clog up your carpet fibres. Its extremely difficult to remove them.
Fresheners tend to be a short term quick fix, simply masking odours in your fibres. Not only that, they will clog up fibres and be easily absorbed into your skin.
Get a really good vacuum cleaner.
We always suggest buying a SEBO vacuum cleaner. Strong vacuum motors combine with a powerful brush action.
An upright high quality vacuum cleaner will keep down levels of sand and soils.
Sometimes purchasing a darker carpet can be a good move. Light colours will show every hair if your pet is of a darker colour.
Its always interesting to read about germs in our carpet / soft furnishings ! Germs and bacteria will build up gradually over the months, take steps to keep levels low.
