Our go-to products for keeping our home, crates, and puppy spaces clean and fresh
Living with Australian Shepherds and Mini American Shepherds, also lovingly called Mini Aussies, means embracing a little chaos. From muddy paws to shedding coats and the occasional puppy mess, we’ve learned what actually works to keep our home, crates, and puppy spaces clean and fresh. These are the supplies we trust and use ourselves. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Clorox Pet Urine Remover
Clorox Urine Remover is one of the products I rely on. I’ve used it on crate trays, wood, tile, grout, rugs, and even furniture with great results. It removes stains, completely gets rid of odor, and has never damaged a surface. I always keep a bottle on hand during house training or when a dog has an accident.
Resolve Urine Destroyer
Resolve Urine Destroyer is another favorite I keep on hand. It works fast and penetrates deep to neutralize odor and lift stains. I’ve had good success with it on rugs, upholstery, and even dog beds. Between this and Clorox Urine Remover, I feel like I’m covered for whatever messes come up!
Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro
I have the Bissell SpotClean Pet Pro and it’s been a great tool to have on hand. It works really well for cleaning up messes on rugs, carpet, and upholstery. It’s powerful, easy to use, and makes it simple to stay on top of accidents or muddy paw prints. Definitely worth having if you have dogs in the house.
Bissell PET PRO OXY Spot & Stain Formula
The Bissell PET PRO OXY Spot & Stain Formula works great with my SpotClean Pet Pro. It lifts stains fast and leaves everything smelling fresh. I use it on rugs, upholstery, and crate mats with great results.
Odoban
OdoBan has been a game changer for my dog laundry. I add it to every load of crate pads, bedding, and towels. It actually removes the dog smell instead of just covering it up, and everything comes out clean and fresh. I’ve used it for years and it’s never been harsh on fabric or caused irritation. It’s just one of those things I always keep stocked. The spray is great for spot cleaning bedding and crates, as needed.
Multi Purpose Wipes
Multi-purpose wipes are something I always keep on hand. They’re great for quick cleanups like muddy paws, crate messes, or drool on the floor. Safe for most surfaces and gentle enough to use around the dogs, they make daily touch-ups easy.
REScue Wipes
REScue wipes are my go-to for disinfecting in between deeper cleans. I use them on crate trays, doorknobs, gates, and other high-touch areas. They’re strong, effective, and safe to use around animals when used as directed. I always keep a pack in the dog room.
Lint Rollers
Lint rollers are one of those little things that make life with dogs easier. Mine do shed, especially during seasonal changes, and a quick roll keeps clothes, blankets, and car seats looking clean. I keep one in a few key spots so I can grab it when needed. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference.
Dyson Ball Animal 3
The Dyson Ball Animal 3 has been great for keeping up with the dust, hair, and bits of grass my dogs track in. It’s powerful, easy to maneuver, and does a solid job on both floors and rugs. Definitely a helpful tool in a dog-filled home.
