Living with a cat brings joy and companionship, but it also introduces unique cleaning challenges. Fortunately, Ewbank offers a range of products designed to make this task easier. In this guide, we’ll explore how cat owners can enhance their cleaning habits for a more comfortable home.
1. Simplify your vacuuming routine
For cat owners, dealing with fur is a never-ending challenge. To keep your home clean and fresh, make regular vacuuming a part of your routine to prevent a buildup of hair.
Create a cleaning schedule
Establishing a routine is an easy way to ensure you never go too long without vacuuming up that pesky cat hair. It’s also essential to use a vacuum cleaner equipped with the right tools for the job.
Choose the right vacuum cleaner
To effectively tackle pet hair, invest in a vacuum cleaner that includes specialised attachments, such as the motorised brush bar and turbo pet brush included with select Ewbank vacuums.
The Ewbank MOTION+ Reach Pet Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner is an excellent choice, featuring a turbo pet brush attachment that makes it easy to lift cat hair out of carpets and furniture, ensuring a thorough clean every time.
2. Keeping the litter box area clean
The litterbox area is a breeding ground for bacteria and difficult to keep clean. But a trick that cat owners might not have considered is using a steam cleaner to eliminate germs and break down stubborn grime.
For a thorough clean, Ewbank’s STEAMDYNAMO+ is an excellent choice. It offers 2000W of power and is easy to move around your home. Its steam cleaning technology sanitises and kills 99.99% of common household bacteria without using chemicals that could harm your pets.
3. Adapt your cleaning method depending on the floor type
Using the same cleaning method or product for every floor in your home can be ineffective and damaging. To make sure you’re cleaning each floor to its full potential, create a tailored plan.
Tailor your approach
- Carpets: Use a vacuum cleaner with strong suction and attachments designed for pet hair. Ewbank’s AIRSTORM includes a motorised floor head that’s ideal for homes with pets, efficiently cleaning up any pet hair.
- Hardwood floors: Use a soft broom or a vacuum designed for hard floors, followed by a damp mop or microfibre cloth. To prevent any scratches from your cat, consider polishing your floor occasionally with a soft, non-abrasive pad.
- Tile: Mop with a pet-safe floor cleaner that’s suitable for tiles and grout.
- Laminate floors: Sweep or vacuum regularly and follow up with a dry or damp mop. To minimise scratches from your cat, use a floor polisher with a gentle pad.
4. Regularly grooming your cat
Regular grooming is a key part of maintaining that fresh, tidy environment. By grooming your cat often, you can prevent messes and contribute to your cat’s well-being.
Keeping a regular routine and using high-quality tools can make a big difference in keeping your floors spotless and cats happy. The RSPCA recommend starting with a wide-tooth metal comb to gently remove any tangles and keep your cat’s coat in great shape.
Cats are generally low maintenance, but we know brushing them weekly can be a chore. Grooming mitts are a great option for removing loose hair with minimal effort (plus your cat will love the extra attention).
