keeping your home clean (tips)

I thought this was a neat page. Some are obvious but some are kind of clever (like making banisters into scratching posts!)

I've seen some that were already, lol!

No joke, but i've done most of the things on that list. Hahaha. Except for the scratching post bannister. Hmmmmmm.....

Hahaha! Yup. My bannister is a bit ..um....ribbed.

That's a neat list.

I moved to a house that has the perfect set-up for dogs. They even have their own room, connected to the house with all the comforts of home. It is HUGE with dark brown carpet , Nice windows to look out of. All their crates are set up in there, there's a older couch and loveseat, and TV. The decor is even Rottweiler themed. I usualy use it to keep my rescue seperated when I'm not home.

The rest of the house has tile and hardwood floors, except for the hall and bedroom. When they come in from outside they can go straight in the "dog room" and I don't have to worry so much about muddy paws. After about ten minutes their dry enough to come into the rest of the house.

I also have my house painted a coffee color so slinging drool doesn't show as much.

So, what does everyone else do to make their houses dog/cat friendly, and clean.
