Preventative and Immediate Cleaning Actions You Can Do
- Prepare an area for your pets or cover up. If you have a large open area behind the rear seats, you can lay down a blanket and put up a divider to keep your dog in back. However, if you don’t have a large rear, or it’s currently occupied by other things, lay down a seat cover to make clean up easier when you get back home.
- Factor in pets when buying a car. While seating surfaces may be one of the last things you think about when shopping for a new car, it’s important to look for when you have pets. Leather and vinyl seats are a good option for cleaning up any accidents. Also invest in high quality mats to protect your carpet floor.
- Clean up as soon as possible. Once you get back home after a trip, be sure to vacuum the areas where your dog was sitting. You can also use a wet rubber glove to pick up large clumps of hair. If you notice a strong dog odor, you can sprinkle the floor and cloth seats with baking soda, let it sit overnight, and then vacuum in the morning.
