Life is good for pets and owners alike, living in the apartments in Mountlake Terrace, WA<\/a>, with downtown Seattle nearby and a host of beautiful hiking and nature spots ready for exploring. But living with a pet does add a few challenges to keeping the apartment clean. Here are a few tips to keeping home ship-shape, while being safe and non-toxic for four-legged friends.<\/p>\n

Tips for Keeping the Apartment Pet-Friendly and Clean<\/h2>\n

\n
1. Learn to love your lint roller:<\/strong> When your roommate is furry, hair everywhere can become a fact of life. You don't have to wear your love for your pet on your sleeve when you have a lint roller handy to gather up the errant hairs<\/li>\n
2. Baking soda and vinegar is a great all-natural, all-purpose cleaner:<\/strong> You're not actually going to lick your clean floors, but your pup or cat likely might. Keep a spray bottle with a solution of vinegar, baking soda, and water for a cost-effective, quick and non-toxic cleaner.<\/li>\n
3. Get in the habit of wiping Fido's feet:<\/strong> You don't want to let the outside in if it means tracking in everything your pup's been stepping in. Keep a towel by the door, and if you reward the wiping of the feet with a treat, it will be a ritual your pup will look forward to.<\/li>\n
4. Use baking soda to clean pet beds: <\/strong>Keep cat and dog beds clean and smelling good by sprinkling with baking soda, leaving 15 minutes and then vacuuming. Add a few drops of essential oil for an extra nice scent, especially lavender, which not only calms but also has insect repellant properties.<\/li>\n
5. Rubber gloves for a quick trick to get fur off of furniture:<\/strong> Instead of using a special tool, just dampen a rubber glove and rub over the upholstery and other furniture. The fur will literally gather in your hands, ready for removal.<\/li>\n
6. Keep toxic cleaners safe:<\/strong> Sometimes messes need the big guns, and for those cleaners that could be poisonous, be certain to store in a place where wandering pups and kitties won't get into trouble. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
