Cleaning the house and caring for pets is easier with the right household appliance.
Nothing compares to the joy of finding our four-legged friend welcoming us when we return home after a day at the office, but it must be acknowledged that having pets, in the house can make cleaning more challenging. Dogs, cats, and hamsters can make a mess near their bowl or litter box or soil the floors when coming back from a walk outside. Not to mention the hair they shed allover the house, which is difficult to remove because it sticks to fabrics. The persistence of hair could also cause allergies and, in more serious cases, respiratory problems such as asthma or the transmission of parasites and germs.
To reconcile cleanliness of the house and pets it is important to provide constant sanitization, with a few simple daily gestures. These are our tips to do it in the most practical and efficient way possible with the help of some useful appliances.
Remedying accidents
Even if you take care of your pet's cleanliness with dedication, brush it and take it often for a full grooming, having a pet always involves some extra cleaning problems. When he enters the house after a walk, it is good to clean his paws with a towel or, if necessary, also with a little water to avoid bringing mud and dirt into the house. If you leave stains around, it is better to clean them promptly to eliminate germs. The same goes for small accidents that may occur, especially if you have a puppy that has not yet established habits: if you find urine stains it is important to clean them immediately to eliminate the odor and prevent the animal from soiling in the same spot again.
Dedicating an area of the house to animals
Whether you have a cat, a dog, a hamster, a rabbit, a parakeet, or an exotic reptile to keep you company, it is important that they have a dedicated space for food, sleep, and their needs. Bowl, litter box, kennel, display case, cage, and scratching post are all items to be allocated to a specific and separate space, which will require special care to ensure excellent hygiene. Bowls, objects, and toys should be washed often with specific detergents or in the dishwasher, and litter boxes should not only be changed, but also periodically washed carefully.
Often you will have to collect the sand that has fallen from the litter box, the bottom of the cage or the remains of kibble around the bowls, where there is often both solid and liquid dirt.In all these cases, a vacuum cleaner for solids and liquids can be useful Girmi AP45, Perfect also for vacuuming the hair attached to the fabric of the kennel, thanks to its high suction power of 16 kPa.
Vacuum often to eliminate hair

If you want to avoid plugging in a bulky vacuum cleaner, choose a cordless broom suitable like the rechargeable Girmi AP91 vacuum cleaner, equipped with a cyclonic system and doppio double HEPA + metal filter, has a suction power of 9.5k to capture even the finest hairs and particles and counter the problem of allergies.

Sanitize surfaces, sofas, and carpets
Even if you have dedicated a specific area with a comfortable bed and scratching post for your four-legged friend, it is known that pets have their own preferences and often choose alternative accommodations that you may not fully agree with. We are obviously talking about beds and sofas, or your brand new expensive carpet.
No problem, the important thing is to guarantee the hygiene of all surfaces. For beds and mattresses you can opt for an electric mattress topper like Girmi AP21, equipped with special VibraWave technology and a suction force of 10 kPa to clean deeply into the fibers of fabrics without damaging them.
