How to clean: Cleaner pet area

Whether your furry child is outside train or indoor train, it is important to keep their environment very clean. Happy clean pet is a happy owner. Simple ways to have a cleaner and fresh air with your pet.

Indoor pet
-If your pet is pad train, change pads every night. Dispose feces, wipe down any trace of dog urine and other mess on your floors. SPray with odor and stain remover and let it air dry (doing this prior to other chemicals will help lift up all the odor and other things that will stain your floor. Wait til it drys.) Wash down with dish soap and warm water and wipe it dry. Place fresh and new pad (this will also help save you time in the morning.)
-Have a separate sponge for washing your pets' bowls and do this every meal. Always have fresh water available 24/7.
-Clean vomits, urine, feces, and hairs left around right away to avoid diseases spreading.
-Clean and disinfect kennels (if it's fabric made, spray with organic spray safe for pets and children. Let it air dry outside the home to avoid smell circulating.
-Wash pet towels and bedding linens used in their kennels once a week.
-Any toys soiled with urine or feces, DISPOSE right away.
-During bedtime, if your little pooch is kennel train to NOT defecate in there, have him sleep in the kennel for the night so you know you will wake up in the morning and not see poop and smell of urine. YUCK.

Outdoor pet
-Pick up feces right away and dispose in a trash bag and into the dumpster (doing so will help you avoid STEPPING ON IT, your pet eating it, and IN a trash bag and INTO the dumpster will help with maggots forming and flying out before the garbage pick up truck comes along.)
-Hose down some water where the feces have been to get rid of smell to stop attracting flies and millions of them at that.
-Treat your yard with an organic spray to rid or prevent fleas and even on the dog kennels and beddings. Organic yard sprays will not kill your grass and plants, good for the environment, and safe around children and pets.

If you have an indoor dog that is trained to potty outside, then you have double the duty. Many like doggy doors but I don't only because once they go out, they bring in germs from their paws. If your furry child steps out, use a damp paper towel and wipe their paws, in between, and their nose. It's a bit of a hassle if you are not home all day but you could try an alternative. Your dog being outside while you're away in a shaded area with a kennel, food, and water. Once home, clean him up before coming in.

Outdoor/Indoor rabbits
I have one holland lop that I just adore and unfortunately I don't like the thought of hay and hard pebble son my floor so he was moved outside.
-Change litter beddings every 2 days to have a more fresh atmosphere. Wash litter with dish soap once a week and wipe. Spray with organic spray once a week and let air dry in the sun. I use old paper us a first layer to recycle, 3 inches thick of bedding, and 1 inch thick of hay.
-Wash food bowl once a week.
-Change water every day and refill to the top, ALWAYS have unlimited access to water and TIMOTHY hay.
-Throw away all hays and poops that he kicks off his litter and on the ground. Piled up poop and urine will attract flies and this will bother your rabbit and you as well.
-It's a bonus tip if you place a carpet like rug in their cage, it makes it easy to pick up and clean their droppings.
