We all love our furry friends, but it’s essential to keep your floor looking its best. With a pet, accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. That’s why this blog offers some helpful tips to keep your floor in top condition, even with pets around!

Trim nails regularly

Your pet’s nails can cause scratches on your floor. Regular trimming is important, but make sure not to cut them too short! On a smooth floor, your pet needs their nails for grip, so always leave them long enough for stability.

Clean paws before entering

Make it a habit to clean your pet’s paws before they come inside. This helps prevent sand from being tracked indoors. Sand is one of the leading causes of scratches on floors. With Scratch no More furniture glides under your furniture, sand that gets trapped between chair legs and the floor has no chance to cause scratches. 

Keep the floor clean

Maintaining a clean floor starts with keeping as much dirt outside as possible—for example, by wiping your pet’s paws. Additionally, ensure that any dirt that does make it indoors is promptly removed. Vacuum your floors regularly to get rid of tracked-in dirt like sand.

Place a dog bed or crate on a rug

Shifting a dog bed or crate can damage your floor, particularly with a heavy crate. This is easily avoided by placing a rug underneath the bed or crate.
