If there is a cat or dog in the house, writes The Spruce Pets, it is usually noticeable immediately. Animals leave traces of their presence in the form of fur on the floor and upholstery of furniture or specific odors. Simple tips will help maintain cleanliness in the apartment when you have a pet.

The most obvious recommendation is not to let your pet's fur run, visit the groomer, and do not neglect home care. Regular brushing and clipping will help reduce the amount of fur that will remain on surfaces in the apartment.

Even the most careful care of your pet will not help completely get rid of fur on the floor and furniture. Household appliances will help to collect it. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, dog and cat owners are recommended to pay attention to the power of the device, as well as the presence of special nozzles – they will help to more effectively remove fur from various surfaces. Many animals are afraid of the sound of a working vacuum cleaner, so the noise level is also important to consider. It is more convenient to remove fur from some surfaces or clothes with a special roller with a sticky surface.

Animal biological fluids, such as urine or vomit, emit a sharp unpleasant odor. To prevent a persistent specific odor from appearing in the house, which can easily recognize the presence of a cat or dog, any stains must be eliminated immediately. Wipe up the liquid with napkins or an absorbent cloth. After drying the surface area as much as possible, it is recommended to treat it with a cleaning agent with enzymes – protein substances that break down organic compounds well. When choosing cleaning agents, you need to make sure that they are safe for pets.
