Because the baby may leave you lacking the time to clean your house for a while, it’s especially important to do a thorough deep clean before their arrival, and while you still have the energy to clean. With the right household cleaning products, pet hair removal can be a simple task—leaving you plenty of time for other chores.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Arresting. These filters remove a very high percentage of airborne pollutants, resulting in less pet dander floating around in your home.
• Vacuum regularly to prevent pet hair and associated allergens from building up and becoming harder to remove from fabric upholstery, carpeting and flooring.
•  Use Lysol® Disinfecting Wipes to remove some allergens on hard, non-porous surfaces and kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses* while you’re at it.

*Use as directed

One simple thing to be conscious of is the cleanliness of your pet’s eating area. Let’s face it, our pets may be messier eaters than even our finger-mashing little rascals.

Pets that eat dry food are particularly likely to crunch their food away from their bowls and spread germ-ridden crumbs all over the surrounding floor. Since your little one is either already or soon to be on the move (and close to the ground), this pet problem calls for regular sweeping and cleaning.
