Spring Cleaning Tips for Pet Owners
Pet Hair
Pet hair is one of the biggest challenges for animal lovers. It clings to soft furnishings like carpets, rugs, sofas and cushions which can be frustrating but vacuuming regularly is the most effective way to remove it. Investing in a quality, lightweight but powerful handheld machine with various attachments is a must-have to make your life easier. The AEG 8000 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner comes with the fantastic PetPro+ nozzle attachment which works wonders at lifting pet hair from upholstery, carpets and rugs, with a powerful suction that works deep into the fabric. The UltimatePower hard floor nozzle is also fantastic as it actually collects any pet hair and dust particles rather than just blowing them around.
Out of sight out of mind
The AEG 8000 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has a telescopic attachment making it easy to access those difficult to reach parts of the home, like behind furniture and under sofas where pet hair can build up quickly. There are also built-in LED lights to illuminate the areas not easily visible so there’s no excuse to miss those harder to see areas. In addition to this, with the slightly more precious furniture in the home, there’s a delicate dusting brush to gently remove pet hair from your fixtures and fittings without causing damage.
Eliminate odours
Nothing smells better than fresh air, so it’s important to open windows and doors allowing fresh air to flood in and circulate your home. However, some of our canine and feline friends have lingering odours that can be tougher to eliminate as they cling to fabrics. Simply sprinkle bicarbonate of soda onto upholstery and carpets then leave overnight to absorb the smell before vacuuming. This is a natural, animal friendly and cost-effective way to deodorise fabrics that regularly come into contact with our furry friends but are maybe not as easy to wash. White vinegar is also a fantastic, natural way to neutralise any pet odours rather than just covering them up.
