Vacuum your cat’s beds or wash them at regular intervals. I have towels that my cats sleep on. I sanitize the towels in my washing machine with lots of detergents and hot water.
I scrub out their litter boxes regularly. I use dishwashing soap, a scrub brush, rubber gloves, and hot water. Take the dirty litter box outdoors and scrap everything you can off of the litter box before you clean it in your basement. I like to hose down the litter box and clean it outdoors before I bring it to my house to complete the cleaning process. After you wash the litter box with detergent and hot water, let it dry out completely before you fill it with fresh kitty litter.
If your kitty throws up a hairball, clean it up immediately. Use a cleaner that is pet safe. I use cleaners that are only pet safe. I like Nature’s Miracle Cleaner. It indeed does work miracles. I wash the wood floor in my house with pine – sol. I finish by putting a hardwood and laminate cleaner that is pet approved on my wooden floor.
I scrub my floors in the house next door with a steam cleaner. The steam cleaner kills all the germs safely and quickly. I also run a dehumidifier in my place in the summer months to eliminate all dampness that can cause mold and mildew, making our cats sick.
I vacuum my carpets every other day. By cleaning every other day, you pick up cat hair, dandruff, and flea eggs lurking in your carpet. You can eliminate a lot of allergens for you and your cat by vacuuming regularly.
Keep all of your cat’s grooming tools and litter box tools clean. I use dishwashing soap on them also with plenty of hot water.
I hope you and your cat stay disease free.
