If you don't want your pet to sharpen its claws on furniture and wallpaper, you can't do without a scratching post.
However, any, even the most expensive purchase, needs timely care. What exactly - we will tell you in this article.
Regular cleaning
Since a scratching post is an item that is used very often, it is impossible to avoid contamination, so you should make it a rule to clean this “accessory”.
Include this procedure in the list of things you do, for example, during Saturday cleaning.
Cleaning of wool
No matter how much we would like to, we won’t be able to remove hair using a vacuum cleaner.
Instead, put on a rubber glove, slightly dampen it and rub it over the surface. It is worth repeating this simple operation several times until completely clean.
Removing stains and unpleasant odors
To get rid of dirt and repulsive “aroma”, you can use special cleaning products that are sold in pet stores.
Alternatively, use a homemade cleaning solution made from baking soda and water or vinegar.
