To many, pets are part of the family and play an important role within the home. At BestCan we aim to create the best home (inside and out) through our window, door, roofing, siding and home renovation services. We help to create the best possible environment to keep every member of your family happy and safe.

When it comes to your pets specifically, after your home has been upgraded/renovated there are ways to make it more pet friendly. The following are some important considerations to make:

‘Get A Fleece Blanket to Keep Beds Clean

If you love having your cat on the bed, but can’t stand the amount of laundry you have to do to remove her hairs, invest in a fleece blanket. Kitty will adore snuggling up on fleece so much that she will want to stay wherever you lay the blanket – and another plus is that cat hair washes easily off the fabric.

Get Rid of Pesky Pet Hairs with a Towel

If lingering pet hairs are forever stuck on your Egyptian Cotton sheets and most beloved pillow and cushion cases, look no further. The cheap, no-nonsense trick to truly clean sheets is to pop furry covers in the washing machine with a damp towel. Set to wash for 20 minutes on a cool cycle, leave the covers in the machine with the towel until it is pretty much dry, then remove everything and pick off any remaining hairs with a damp sponge.

Protect Sofas with Tin Foil

It may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the answer to finding cat hair all over your favourite TV-watching armchair, or arriving home to see the cushions on your smart sofa mauled, is tinfoil. Lining the edges of sofas and chairs with crackly aluminium while you are at work will protect your belongings, as cats will not jump up onto your sofa cushions because they are terrified by the sound their claws make when they pounce on the foil.’ (Naomi Ackerman, dailymail.co.uk)

The more you pet proof your home, the more comfortable it will be for them and the better you will be able to protect your home and maintain the environment for the rest of the family.
