It’s not easy to clean up after your dog or cat poop or pee. Even with all that cuteness, who can stand the sight of their mess. You need prompt action, not only to avoid the smell sticking to your walls or clothes, but also to avoid the spread of germs in your house. Here are a few tips so you can deal with it like a pro:

Have a rag or tissue handy to pick up poop in one smooth motion. Then dunk the offensive stuff into a covered garbage bin.

Wipe off the area where the poop used to be with a wet rag. Better yet, dilute some bleach in water and use that to wipe traces of poop away.

Seal the deal with a quick spray of disinfectant. This will make sure that the germs are indeed eradicated.

For offensive-smelling pee, you need extra rags to wipe off the area. You need to do this in three passes, making sure you soak up the liquid and no trace is left on the floor.

You can train your put to do their business only in certain parts of the house. Lay out layers of old newspaper for your puppy, or put kitty litter in a box for young cats. Start training them while they’re young and you will have less of a mess to deal with them when they’re grown.

Remember to use your dog or cat with food that suites them. Invest in cute dog or cat supplies like their own sleeping quarters, perhaps.
