7 Pet Cleaning Hacks That Will Blow You Away

Magic Vomit Eraser
Most people will tell you saving cleanup for later only makes it harder on you, but not when it comes to pet vomit. "Vomit is actually much easier to clean if you allow it to dry and then vacuum," suggests Donna Smallin Kuper, a certified house cleaning technician and a small space lifestyle expert at Unclutter.com.

Magic Carpet Stain Eraser
Between muddy paws and in-house "accidents," your dog could end up making your house look more lived-in than you'd like. To clean urine or other pet stains from the carpet, Smallin Kuper suggests starting with a Shop-Vac to suction the urine. "Pour 3 percent hydrogen peroxide on the stain and cover with a white towel, then hold a hot steam iron on the towel for 15 to 20 seconds to transfer the stain to the towel.

Repeat until no more stain is being transferred. Cover with a clean white towel and something heavy, leaving it overnight to dry," Smallin Kuper advises. Before treating a highly visible area with any home remedy, always test an inconspicuous spot first to make sure the treatment doesn't hurt the carpet.

Magic Pet Hair De-Fuzzer
Pet hair and dust balls are attracted to all surfaces -- wood floors, tile, carpet and furniture are all at risk of collecting whatever your pet sheds. This is particularly true if you have a pet with long hair. To remove pet hair from most surfaces in your home, especially during dry winter months, "spray a static removal product lightly over your carpet or furniture," Smallin Kuper advises. "Wait a few minutes, then vacuum as usual." Consider getting your pet groomed to reduce the need to de-fuzz your home!

Magic Car Seat Cleaner
What dog doesn't love a ride in the car? The only problem is, the fuzz he leaves behind is a nuisance to clean -- until now! To clean dog hair from car upholstery, wipe it down with a slightly damp rubber glove. The hair will stick to the glove, not your passenger's pants.

Emotional Benefits of Crafting Children’s minds and bodies develop swiftly as they grow and explore their surroundings. Arts & crafts are wonderful instruments that can help with this development.
