Spring is finally here—the season of renewal and fresh starts! For pet owners, however, spring cleaning comes with some unique challenges: shedding season, muddy paw prints, and lingering pet odors. 🐾 Whether you have a dog, cat, or both, keeping your home clean and fresh is no easy task.
In this guide, we’ll share practical spring cleaning tips specifically for pet owners, helping you tackle fur, dander, and dirt with ease. Plus, we’ll highlight how the Extravis V5 Robot Vacuum can be your ultimate cleaning companion during this busy season.
🌿 1. Declutter and Deep Clean Your Pet’s Space
Start your spring cleaning by focusing on your pet’s space. Whether it’s a cozy corner, a crate, or an entire room, giving their area a thorough refresh is essential.
✅ Cleaning Tips:
-
Wash pet bedding, blankets, and cushion covers: These items trap hair, dander, and odors. Wash them with a pet-safe detergent in hot water to eliminate bacteria and allergens.
-
Clean and sanitize pet toys: Toss rubber and plastic toys into the dishwasher (top rack) or hand wash them with warm, soapy water. Machine-wash plush toys.
-
Organize pet supplies: Check for expired treats, shampoos, or medications. Discard outdated items and neatly organize essentials.
💡 Pro Tip: Use storage bins or baskets to keep leashes, grooming tools, and toys tidy.
🐾 2. Tackle Pet Hair with Smart Cleaning Tools

🧽 3. Eliminate Pet Odors from Fabrics
Even if your pet is freshly groomed, their scent can linger on carpets, upholstery, and curtains. Spring cleaning is the perfect time to eliminate hidden pet odors.
✅ Deodorizing Tips:
-
Carpets & Rugs: Sprinkle baking soda liberally over carpets and let it sit for 15–20 minutes before vacuuming. Baking soda absorbs odors naturally.
-
Upholstery: Use a fabric-safe enzyme cleaner to break down pet odors.
-
Air out pet spaces: Let in fresh spring air by opening windows and doors.
💡 Pro Tip: The Extravis V5 can automatically vacuum your rugs and carpets, removing hair and dander that contribute to odors.
🦴 4. Clean Pet Bowls and Feeding Areas
Food and water bowls can harbor bacteria and grime, especially in warmer weather. During spring cleaning, make sure your pet’s feeding area is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
✅ Cleaning Tips:
-
Wash bowls daily with hot, soapy water. Stainless steel bowls are best, as they resist bacteria buildup.
-
Disinfect feeding mats: If you use a mat under your pet’s bowls, wash it weekly.
-
Deep clean the area: Sweep and mop around the feeding station to remove any spilled food or water stains.
🐕🦺 5. Control Shedding with Proper Grooming
Spring weather triggers heavy shedding in most pets. Regular grooming not only keeps your furry friend comfortable but also reduces the amount of loose hair in your home.
✅ Grooming Tips:
-
Brush regularly: Use a deshedding brush or grooming glove at least 3–4 times per week to remove loose hair.
-
Bathe your pet: A spring bath with pet-safe shampoo helps remove dirt, pollen, and excess fur.
-
Trim nails and clean ears: Spring is also a good time for a mini spa day—trim nails and clean your pet’s ears to prevent infections.
💡 Pro Tip: By grooming regularly, you’ll minimize the amount of fur your Extravis V5 has to clean, extending its efficiency.
🧹 6. Freshen Up Floors and Surfaces
Pet owners know that keeping floors clean is a daily battle. Between muddy paw prints and shedding fur, your floors need extra attention during spring cleaning.
✅ Floor Cleaning Tips:
-
Hard Floors: Use a pet-safe cleaner to mop floors, removing dirt and paw prints.
-
Carpets: Vacuum carpets thoroughly to extract hair, dander, and debris. The Extravis V5 makes this process effortless.
-
Baseboards and corners: Use the vacuum’s edge-cleaning mode to reach hidden pet hair in baseboards and crevices.
💡 Pro Tip: Schedule the Extravis V5 to clean daily during shedding season, preventing pet hair buildup.
🌿 7. Wash and Refresh Pet Accessories
Your pet’s accessories—leashes, collars, and harnesses—can carry dirt, bacteria, and odors. Spring cleaning is the perfect time to give them a deep clean.
✅ Accessory Cleaning Tips:
-
Collars & Leashes: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then air dry.
-
Pet clothing: Machine wash pet jackets or sweaters according to label instructions.
-
Litter boxes and crates: Clean thoroughly with pet-safe disinfectant and replace old litter or bedding.
🌸 8. Protect Against Spring Allergens
Spring brings beautiful blooms—but also allergens like pollen and dust. Pets can carry allergens on their fur, contributing to poor indoor air quality.
✅ Tips for Allergen Control:
-
Wipe your pet’s paws after walks to reduce pollen tracking.
-
Use an air purifier with a HEPA filter to trap allergens.
-
Clean your pet’s coat more frequently during spring.
💡 Pro Tip: The Extravis V5’s advanced filtration system helps reduce allergens by trapping fine dust and dander.
🌷 9. Clean Outdoor Spaces
If your pet spends time outdoors, spring cleaning should extend to your yard, patio, or balcony.
✅ Outdoor Cleaning Tips:
-
Remove pet waste: Thoroughly clean up the yard after winter.
-
Wash outdoor bedding: If your pet has an outdoor bed or cushion, wash it thoroughly.
-
Inspect fences and gates: Ensure your pet’s play area is safe and secure.
🐾 10. Establish a Cleaning Routine
Spring cleaning is a great time to set a regular cleaning routine to keep your home fur-free all season long.
