Dirty Dogs, Clean House?

[jodie3]

This is a very interesting thread as mine are driving me to distraction!

I have four of my own (3 Dalmatians and an EBT) I also have a foster EBT and have just had my Mum's Scottie for a fortnight.

My cottage is very small, they come straight on from the very wet and muddy garden into the kitchen. The foster dog knocks the water bowl over so I have now removed the dirt zapper mats from the kitchen as they were just a soggy mess.
She also jumps up at every surface so everything is covered in muddy paw marks.

I am about to buy a Dyson animal as my current Dyson isn't man enough for such a grubby house. I have been thinking about a steam mop and after reading this thread I am totally sold on the idea. Anyone recommend one?

Mine are raw fed too and don't smell, which is a blessing I suppose as couldn't cope with the smell as well as the mud!

I feel your pain!

Fortunately, they have towelling robes and are confined to the kitchen if dirty:

After a few months of having the first two, the lounge carpet was binned and tiles with underfloor heating were installed. And I totally gave up on housework :biggrin3:

Great hoovers and steam mops are fab-if you can be others to get them out every five minutes!! :tongue3:

The steam mops I've seen advertised on the tv at around £99 look ok but I expect you'd be filling it up every 10 mins or less.
As the owner of a small industrial Polti steam cleaner I'm biased as it lasts up to 2 hours without a refill (5 litre tank)
No matter what make or size you get though, you will definately see a difference, Oz
