Animal in the house. Rules of leaving and cleaning behind favourites

More than 15,000 years we live side by side with pets: at first primitive people tamed dogs, and a little later and cats. Also there are suspicions what the most part of this time the mankind torments a question – how to maintain purity in the house where there are four-footed favourites? Wool, sand from paws, the turned flowers, the scattered filler – not the complete list of small "wreckings" from favourites of family. But modern owners are armed with special tools and know the mass of the cunnings allowing not to spend for cleaning long hours. Follow the rules read below and in your house there will always be an order.

Meeting difficulties, it is important not to feel loneliness. In Russia 57% of the population have pets. By some estimates, it is 35.7 million favourites. On average every third family holds a cat, and on number of dogs (about 10 million) our country wins first place in Europe and the fifth in the world after the USA, Brazil, China and Japan.

Many admirers of animals always were among imperial persons. At court of Elizabeth II dogs of breed of a corgi lived. Alexander III held at himself room pugs and the Kamchatka laika, white with burn marks. And even great Pyotr I did not resist four-footed handsome and brought from Holland a cat to Vask. It is necessary to tell, the being was very impudent, but expression about "a red muzzle" appeared after all later: the favourite of the emperor treated breed of Russians blue.

And the reverent attitude to smaller brothers is not alien to our famous contemporaries. Perhaps, did not hear about Connie's Labrador only lazy. The love of the president to dogs is shared also by stars of cinema and a platform. Konstantin Khabensky once took away a mongrel by whom it helped to be restored after a disease from a shelter. Sergey Lazarev also sheltered at himself the thrown puppy. And here the brutal soloist of the Leningrad group – the true aelurophile. His cunning and impudent pet of "blue" British blood call Vask – just as at Peter the Great.

Also it is worth to remember: all people are people, and all animals are animals. So questions of cleaning are not alien to anybody unless not everyone is engaged in it with own hand.

Rule 1. Organize space

Let's remember the well-known saying about "purely where do not litter". Only in a situation with pets it is possible to tell a little differently – an order where are ready to it. It is important to understand that if you have low window sills which are at the level of the head of big pets or readily available to "kids", then on them it is better not to put flowers in pots and fragile objects. Snow-white furniture on which it is so convenient to jump four paws probably too at once should be offered. "Tempered" koshko-and sobakolyuba in general recommend with emergence in the house of the new inhabitant to get special covers on furniture which are easily erased.

"The special attention from owners is required by the place for a campaign in a toilet: it has to be comfortable for the pet and at the same time not become a source of bacteria and unpleasant smells. For cats and tiny doggies use trays. They have to be in the quiet place where nobody will disturb the four-footed favourite, – Svetlana Ivanova, the expert-felinologist in the ICU system, the owner of nursery of kornish-reks of Tintagil (Smolensk) advises. – It should be added filler and as he wakes up a little to a cat's tray, nearby it is necessary to lay a rug. In addition it is required sovochek for cleaning with the certain size of openings depending on filler type. In a tray for small doggies usually put a disposable diaper. Big pets are accustomed to the street, but, of course, it is necessary to stock up with patience".

Ideally for the new family member it is possible to organize special sleeping and even entertaining place: a lodge for cats and a stove bench for dogs. But most often the conceived "personal space" of the pet is empty so to drive a freedom-loving animal into a framework it will hardly turn out.

Rule 2. Do not shelve minute business

With a pet it is always necessary to be on the alert. For example, if in emergency situation the favourite "made a booboo", in order to avoid emergence of an unpleasant smell it is necessary to blot quickly a pool with a paper towel or a disposable diaper and to strew with soda. After drying soda is deleted. In case the smell remained, it is possible to wipe the place with mix of water and conditioner for a mouth or vinegar solution.

It is obligatory to clean a tray in time. A small secret – can be washed it with means of Domestos or similar: cats are attracted by a slight smell of chlorine. If the pet nevertheless has a personal place, it needs also to be cleaned daily. And after walk – at once in a shower, so far dirt from paws it was not carried on the house.

"Upon return from the street in a corridor it is possible to start the robot vacuum cleaner. The universal assistant is useful also at daily cleaning – until you are at work, he will cope with wool, and if necessary will wash the floor, – Elena Krylova, the expert of the POLARIS company, one of leaders of the market of small household appliances in Russia says. – It is better to choose compact and silent model. For example, height of the PVCR 0726W vacuum cleaner of only 7.6 centimeters. It easily passes under a bed, a rack, a whatnot and in other hard-to-reach spots where usually pets so like to sleep, and here hostesses when cleaning are not too busy seldom. A sound during the work too an important factor – the equipment should not frighten the four-footed favourite of family. At the considered model it is only 62 dB that is comparable to conversation sounds".

By the way, fear of sharp noise can help owners of animals – it is possible to put the sheet of aluminum foil on cushions or upholstered furniture. Having heard unpleasant rustling under paws, the pet will hardly want to lie down. However, and to the person decoration of an interior doubtful will be located on such "covering" uncomfortablly and.

But there are also other cunnings – Yulia Greb, the marketing director of LLC Sedo hauskhold prodakts, one of the leading European brands of goods for a household shares them: "Near "risk zones" it is necessary to hold an arsenal of quick response: wet towel wipes and rags which will help to remove dirt quickly. Will significantly facilitate life "microfiber" – it eliminates bacteria and microbes from any surfaces, and without use of cleaners. Such effect is explained by microfiber structure of fabric. Also the usual rubber glove, for example, of Paclan Practi is useful: if to put on it a hand, to moisten slightly with water and to move on upholstered furniture, wool will quickly roll up in lumps which cannot be removed".

Rule 3. Do not forget about global actions

Certainly, despite all preparations and the taken emergency measures, in the house where there lives the fluffy friend, careful regular cleaning is necessary. The robot vacuum cleaner will significantly facilitate a task of collecting wool and mopping, and nevertheless, you should not forget about corners – eventually, they rectangular, and "assistant" – round. And furniture needs to be vacuumed periodically too. Therefore experts recommend to use robots for ordinary cleaning, and time or two in a week to connect the ordinary vacuum cleaner with different nozzles: for deep cleaning of carpets, furniture, laminate. The last know-how of the market – the wireless vertical vacuum cleaners working from accumulators. All dust, including wool, gathers in a plastic container which is easily disconnected from the vacuum cleaner and is cleaned in several minutes. Elena Krylova (POLARIS) recommends to pay attention to models "two in one" where besides the big portable vacuum cleaner there is a disconnected portable block. It is very convenient to last to clean upholstered furniture – any small crack will not take cover.

"Really, the vacuum cleaner – the best friend of the owner of pets. Models with damp cleaning as it is necessary to wash the floors in the period of a molt every day, and in usual time – time in 2-3 days are especially good. Perfectly the steam generator – simply and conveniently helps with it. Once a week it is necessary to process housing disinfectants, especially if animals go outside. But be careful – aggressive chemical means for cleaning can be toxic for the favourite and irritate them eyes. It is better to choose the neutral washing medicines or natural means", – Svetlana Tintagil advises.

One more important point about which even idealists – toys of pets can forget. If those are available, it is necessary to erase periodically them, in opposite couples harmless trifles can become a source of specific aromas.

Rule 4. Pay attention to your favourite

It is essential to reduce amount of wool regular competent care of the pet will help with the house. "to dump the most obvious way superfluous", as well as at the person – a hairstyle. More often it, of course, is used for dogs and that not each breed – hardly the owner of a lap dog will want to deprive of the favourite of the main ornament. So it is necessary only to comb out. And many mistakenly believe that short-haired pets do not need such ritual. It is incorrect – short hairs are though less noticeable to an eye, but too fall, as well as long. And in large numbers are capable to become allergen for family members. It is necessary to accustom the pet to procedures since the childhood, then he will not run away and escape at the sight of "terrible weapon" in the owner's hands. So in the evening, sitting in front of the TV, put "kid" on knees, caress that he began to doze, take a hairbrush and easy massage movements begin to study zones on the course of growth of wool from a nape and to a tail. Repeat daily – both get used, and accustom the favourite. And when the pet will grow up and his wool will become long, it is possible to use the next cunning – to interweave a thin elastic band between hairbrush cloves at their basis. She will create additional friction that will promote the best combing.

"Surely bathe pets: both dogs, and cats. Yes, once it was considered as harmful and badly influenced wool, but in those days it was necessary to wash pets with soap and person shampoos, and today there are special means. Dogs should be washed every two weeks, it is possible for a thicket in the summer. Cats are bathed much less often – about two times a year", – Irina Chibisova, the owner of a private shelter for cats and dogs says.

Usually pets lose wool during a molt – twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. But some animals dump from themselves wool all the year round, and it is a reason for owners to think of health of favourites. Can influence anything: unbalanced food, enterogastric diseases, lack of vitamins and set of other reasons. So it is better to address the veterinarian – perhaps, the pet needs treatment.

Listening to councils, it is important to develop own comfortable mode of establishing order. And the main thing – without fanaticism. Of course, still nobody died of cleaning, but … why so to risk? So sometimes it is better not to try to discover an excess hair on a carpet or a sofa, and to play with the favourite or to descend with it on walk.
