What is the best pet cleaner for a typical pet home

Most homes benefit from a simple set of products that cover floors, soft furnishings and quick spot cleaning. Look for cleaners that are suitable for use around pets and that fit into how you already clean rather than adding lots of extra steps.

Where should I store my main pet cleaner kit

Keep your core products somewhere easy to reach so you can deal with small messes quickly. A small caddy with spray, cloths and gloves in the kitchen or utility room often works well.
