How often should clean pet accessory

According to relevant surveys: Families with pets generally clean pet utensils every 3-7 days or more, while only about 30% of the owners who can do regular cleaning once a day. The most common cleaning frequency is 2-3 days. . Such cleaning frequency is obviously very insufficient.

NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) surveyed 30 daily necessities from 22 households and ranked the number of bacteria contained in the products. Among them, the bowls used by pets ranked fourth on the bacteria list.
A large number of bacteria detected on pet utensils and toys were MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Pasteurella multocida, various Corynebacterium species; these bacteria were found in levels above the normal norm, and Proliferate in large quantities without cleaning; especially for drinking utensils and eating utensils, wet environments and superimposed food residues, cleaning from time to time will inevitably breed bacteria, and the bacterial content is unimaginable.

Different animal accessory materials have different reproduction rates of bacteria!

Hartpooley University has done a special study on this, and tested the number of bacteria formed in three different dog or cat bowls of plastic, ceramic and stainless steel in 14 days. The results showed that: according to the ranking of the number of bacteria, animal plastic bowls ranked first, with the most bacteria; paw ceramic bowls ranked second; pet stainless steel bowls ranked third. Among them, the most harmful bacteria are animal ceramic bowls, including MRSA (the most virulent) and Salmonella.

Therefore, when choosing food containers for your pets, you should give priority to food-grade stainless steel bowls.

Before putting it directly into the washing machine for cleaning, you need to put thepuppy animal toy in the laundry bag first, and follow the general cleaning procedure. The use of cold detergent is better than the washing powder, and it is less harmful to the wool. A two-in-one shampoo is also good. After washing, wrap it in a dry towel and then dehydrate it to avoid damaging the surface.Machine washable tough durable plush toys are generally marked on the label, please pay attention to identification

Washing by hand:cute and fun paw toys can also be washed by hand, but do not add too much laundry detergent, so as not to be difficult to wash.

Salt method：our need to prepare coarse salt (large grains) and a plastic bag big enough to hold soft pet plush toys.First, we put the dirty animal toys in a plastic bag and add salt. Tie the plastic bag tightly and shake the plastic bag vigorously so that the salt inside and the stuffed or unstuffed toys are fully contacted. Soon we can see that the salt grains are slowly turning black, and the beloved toy is gradually getting clean (the principle is that salt, namely sodium chloride, has a certain adsorption effect on dirt). Take out the toy, just need to dust off the salt on the surface~

Or you can buy a dry cleaning agent specially designed for cleaning plush toys to clean at home, first spray the dry cleaning agent on the surface of the plush toy, wait for two or three minutes, and then check it with a dry cloth.

Here we focus on a simple method without washing with water.

Go to the market to buy a bag of large-grained salt (also called sun-dried salt, about 2 kg), find a clean plastic bag (to be able to hold the plush toys that need to be cleaned) when you get home, and then take a small amount of large salt and put it in the plastic bag In the middle, put the plush toy to be cleaned, fasten the bag mouth, and start shaking it up and down vigorously, about 40 times, take out the plush toy, shake the coarse salt particles that stick to the surface, and you will find that the salt particles turn black , durable or soft toys with squeakers cleaned a lot.

This is because the salt itself has positive and negative charges, and the dirt will also have positive and negative charges. After shaking and friction, electricity is generated, and opposites attract, and the salt will suck the dirt away, making the paw tail of kitty plush toy clean.
