Spring Cleaning Time!
Spring cleaning. Everyone loves to do a spring clean…..maybe?!
Whether it’s the whole house, that one cupboard you dread opening. Or just getting rid of the corner cobwebs (where is the spider that makes them and more importantly how big is it??), it does feel good when you finish that cleaning job and sit down with a cuppa to admire your hard work
When it comes to our dogs we might want to do a big clean of their bedding and all their winter coats (if they wear them).
Even though our dogs get fresh bedding regularly, I like to do a big de-clutter and big clean in spring.
I take their crates outside on a sunny day and give them a big clean with warm soapy water.
While they dry, I clean the whole area where their beds go. Dust, brush and mop.
I wash their bedding and I even put the sofa beds from the lounge in the washing machine, if they fit. The memory foam ones get a wipe down and air in the sun.
I give all their food and water bowls a soak and wash, even though they are clean daily.
And I tackle the food and “dog things” cupboard. You know the one? That cupboard that holds all the treats, extra food, nail clippers, grooming gloves, the toys that need mending and spare leads, lots of lots of spare things!!
I also wash all their winter jumpers and coats. My dogs wouldn’t leave the house on a cold frosty day without them.
After all that, I reward myself with a cuppa tea in the sun, before putting their crates back with lovely fresh covers and blankets.
Then it’s walkies time!!
If you're planning a spring clean don’t forget to use dog friendly products and always read the labels if you want to use anything stronger than warm soapy water.
And if you’re de-cluttering dog beds, blankets, walking products and clothes and they are still looking good, why not see if your local charity shops and rescue centres want them.
Happy Cleaning!
