Choose your cleanup zones
- Identify your pet’s resting spot, feeding station, litter or potty area and entryway.
- Keep walking routes and pet access clear.
- Give everyday tools one easy-to-reach storage spot.
Pet hair
- Check fabric care instructions before choosing a brush, roller or vacuum attachment.
- Use a compatible washable layer where your pet rests.
- Choose floor-cleaning equipment separately from couch touch-up tools.
Litter and potty cleanup
- Place collection supplies within reach of the cleanup job.
- Keep litter access open and food in a separate area.
- Plan how to empty waste, wash reusable parts and dry them.
Before adding another product
- Name the specific job your existing tools cannot do.
- Check replacement bags, filters and other ongoing supplies.
- Plan where the complete setup will live between uses.
