It’s no secret: having pets can seriously damage your furniture and your carpets. They have sharp nails, fur that falls all over the place, and they can be a mess, overall. That being said, your carpets don’t have to suffer the long-term effects of having indoor pets. After all, most of us love our furry friends enough to put up with anything they throw at us.

Below, you can read about ways for you to prevent pet damage on your carpets and how Electrovac can get rid of any stains or odours.

Tip #1: Keep Food Away From Carpets

This might seem like a given, but if you want to keep your carpets free of any stains, then you should consider keeping food, and your pets, away from your carpets. That’s because when you give your cat or dog a piece of food, it will often carry it off to its bed or to a comfortable area to eat it.

Let’s say your living room is carpeted. You should consider closing the living room door if you know your pet is about to eat something, that way it won’t eat on your carpets and, subsequently, leave a stain.

Tip #2: Toilet Training!! 

Too often, we get our animals from a shop or shelter and they haven’t been properly toilet trained. We’ve all had the animal that goes to the toilet wherever it can – which is usually all over your home.

They key, here, is to make sure that the pets you get are fully toilet trained, or that you leave them away from the carpeted areas of your home until they are.

Tip #3: Doormats, doormats, doormats!

Have we said it enough? If you haven’t already invested in doormats for your home, then you should do it as soon as possible. Put them at every entrance of your home and in every doorway.

You never know what kind of dirt and grime your pets are carrying into your home, and it all gets transferred to your flooring and carpets.

If you place doormats at the entrance of each room, your pets will transfer everything on their paws to the doormats instead of your carpets.

Tip #4: Protect Your Carpets

There are two ways in which you can protect your carpets. The first is to place a rug on top of them if there is carpet in a room that is trafficked often.

Next, you can try to get protective coating on your carpets. There are some companies that will provide your carpet with a coating that will protect it from wear and tear.
