Floor Finish
Certain floors are better suited to cleaning up the inevitable pet messes, experts recommend vinyl, sealed marble, treated concrete, stone or laminate flooring, all of which are easy to clean and disinfect and resistant to scratches from claws. Wall to wall carpeting is best avoided and area rugs should be the low pile variety, also avoid flooring materials that are slippery and do not provide adequate traction for your pet.

Pet Shower
A well groomed pet, clean, claws clipped regularly and trained to take a leak in the right place, will make for a cleaner home. Grooming your pet is good for your home and for your pet! To help make grooming an easy process consider installing a handheld shower attached to an outdoor tap to reduce the mess, fuss and tantrums come bath-time. Keeping grooming rituals outdoors will leave your bathroom pristine and your home dirt free without trails of soapy water if your pet wiggles free!
