Wipe your pet’s paws when they come in from outside

 Keep a towel close to the door and every time your pet comes in from the outside, wipe their paws. If you have a cat or dog flap obviously that’s not practical so lay an absorbent doormat beneath the flap. 

Clean accidents immediately

To prevent staining and the mess embedding into the carpet, pet accidents should be cleaned up immediately. Clean up the debris and moisture first and then treat with a pet-friendly carpet cleaner. These usually contain ingredients to prevent odours. If you haven’t got a specific cleaner, baking soda is a good substitute. Remember to vacuum the day after using the baking soda.

Add an area rug

Laying a rug down will protect your carpet. Put the rug in a high traffic area and also encourage your pet to spend most of their time on the rug. 

Keep your pet clean 

Keep your pet clean and groom them regularly. Doing this will reduce the amount of fur going onto the carpet and there will also be less mess to transfer from your pet to the carpet. 

Vacuum regularly

Carpets need to be vacuumed regularly to prevent hair and dirt building up. It also prolongs the life of your carpet. Left, dirt and hair will be ground into the carpet damaging the fibres. It is best to vacuum a few times a week. Also vacuum the furniture. 

Feed your pet a good diet

Some pet foods contain artificial colours and ingredients which cause stains on your carpets. Check the ingredients and avoid pet foods with lots of additives.

Keep your pet’s claws trimmed

This is not so much about keeping your carpets clean but in good order. Long claws can snag the carpet, ruining the fibres. Keep your pet nails to a reasonable length.
