Dogs are man’s best friend, but they can be a mess too! Whether paw prints or loose fur, a dirty floor is guaranteed with dogs around. Luckily, your pets and clean floors can coexist in your house if you try the following tips!
Your trusty broom could be good for most kinds of dirt but not for dog hair. On the other hand, an electrostatic broom uses its rubber bristles to lift and attract dog hair from surfaces better than a regular one.
The only downside is that you’ll likely have to invest in an electrostatic broom to apply this tip. However, don’t let its fancy name fool you; they are quite affordable. Besides, if you know how to use a regular broom, you know how to use an electrostatic one.
Pet vacuum cleaners are the ultimate tool for removing dog hair thanks to their special blisters, filters, and higher suction power. The only thing that prevents these devices from being a staple cleaning tool in every dog owner’s house is the price tag.
However, if your vacuum cleaner is not good enough for the task, and you are considering replacing it anyways, investing in a specialized cleaning tool for your pets is a good idea.
Letting your pet freely roam around your house means some nasty accidents are bound to happen. So, keep pet wipes, clean towels, and a spray bottle with your trusted cleaner always handy to deal with those dirty mishaps as soon as you see (or smell) them—especially on carpeted floors.
It’s tempting to clean stains using powerful cleaners, especially if they are stubborn or have a terrible smell. However, you should know that most commercial products contain ammonia, alcohol, or bleach; these harsh chemicals can harm your four-legged pal.
What can you use then? Although soapy water works fine for mud and dirt, a better option is to get an enzyme cleaner. These cleaners are far more effective at removing saliva, pee, and feces-related stains. On top of that, enzyme cleaners are safe to use on carpets and upholstery.
Everybody loves dogs and their antics, except when it’s house cleaning time, as an energetic dog can make chores more cumbersome than needed.
One great way to tame your dog’s energy is taking them for a walk before you start your chores. Remember, different factors like breed and age dictate how long you should walk your dog—you want to tire them, not over-exhaust them.
Don’t worry if you aren’t able to walk your dog before you start cleaning. You’ll be fine if you place them in a different room than the one you’re cleaning and close the door.
Some dogs could whine or viciously scrap closed doors when in a room alone. Be prepared and give them some of their favorite toys and snacks to keep them busy while you’re cleaning.
Tip: Be sure your dog has emptied their bowels beforehand to avoid accidents in the room.

Commercial cleaners like Windex may seem like the go-to for cleaning hazy mirrors. However, many homeowners are leaving these products behind in favor of more natural and safer options.
Check out this natural alternative to clean mirrors, whether you are trying to avoid potentially harmful chemicals or just want to save the trip to the store.
When speaking of dirty mirrors, oil, grease, and hard-water spots are the main culprits. So, making a solution that can clean both types of stains without residue sounds like an excellent idea.
Of all natural cleaners, white vinegar’s acidic properties make it a strong ally against hard-water stains’ alkaline composition. Likewise, alcohol’s chemical structure works flawlessly to eliminate oil and grease stains.
To make the most out of these wonderful products, you can mix ¼ a cup of vinegar, ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol, and two cups of warm water in a spray bottle.
Pro tip: Be sure to wash the spray bottle thoroughly, as traces from other liquids or chemicals can leave streaks on your mirror.
Before wet wiping your mirror, dust the area using a lint-free cloth (a microfiber cloth is the best option). During this step, the technique is crucial—prevent dirt from settling again by working on ‘”Z” motions rather than in circles.
If you have a framed mirror, you should know that dirt can get stuck in the slits at the joint with the glass. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to get rid of particles trapped there while avoiding damage to the glass.
Pro tip: You can use a toothpick to take care of the dirt particles the toothbrush couldn’t remove.
It is recommended to only spray your cleaning solution on the upper section of your mirror to avoid dripping. Besides, alcohol dries quickly, so you may not have time to wipe if you spray the whole surface—unless it’s a tiny mirror.
Once you’ve sprayed the area you want to clean, wipe away the stains with your lint-free fabric using rapid zig-zag motions. If you encounter a stubborn spot, a little bit of elbow grease will take care of it.
Repeat the process as you work your way down the length of the mirror.
Newspaper is the go-to item to dry glass surfaces, but some may use petroleum-based ink, which creates smears when wet.
If you don’t want to risk it, a microfiber cloth or any other lint-free rag will help you to dry your mirrors flawlessly. Just remember to use Z-shaped movements to reduce the chances of streaks appearing.
