Pet Owners’ Guide to Keeping Carpets and Sofas Clean

Pet hair, paw prints and odours build up quickly in busy homes.

A few regular habits keep carpets and sofas fresh and make each deeper clean easier.

Brush and vacuum often

Grooming your pet regularly, ideally outdoors, means less hair ends up indoors. Vacuum carpets and sofas more often than usual, using the upholstery tool for seats and cushions.

Hair that is left to build up works into fibres and becomes harder to remove.

For fabric-specific advice, read our upholstery care guide.

Treat accidents quickly

Blot a fresh accident with kitchen roll or a clean cloth. Press, do not rub, so the liquid does not spread.

Then use a cleaner made for pet stains and odours. Check the label for pet safety and test a hidden area first, as some products can affect colour.

Wash what can be washed

Throws, cushion covers and pet beds hold hair and odours. Wash them at the temperature the care label allows.

• Wash pet beds and blankets regularly.
• Use washable throws on favourite sofa spots.
• Check care labels before washing removable covers.

Protect your surfaces

A mat by the door catches mud before it reaches the carpet. Wiping paws after walks helps too.

Placing a washable throw where your pet likes to sleep keeps hair and oils off the upholstery.

Schedule a professional clean

A professional clean reaches the dirt and odours that vacuuming misses. Our carpet cleaning uses hot water extraction, which leaves no residue, and our upholstery cleaning refreshes sofas and chairs.
