A February deep clean refreshes your pet’s environment just as winter begins to unwind. Cold months create extra fur, dust, bedding debris, and stale air. Deep cleaning boosts hygiene, reduces odors, and helps prepare your home (and barn) for spring.
Start with food and water dishes. Wash bowls with hot, soapy water and scrub away biofilm. Replace any bowls that show cracks or wear. Clean waterers for rabbits, poultry, or goats, checking for mineral buildup.
Refresh bedding everywhere. Wash dog and cat beds, sanitize litter mats, replace rabbit or guinea pig liners, and add clean straw or shavings to chicken coops. Fresh bedding reduces odors and creates cozy rest spots for everyone.
Audit grooming tools. Brushes, combs, nail clippers, and clippers accumulate fur and oils. Clean them thoroughly and replace anything broken. Grooming gear stays effective longer when properly maintained.
Sanitize feed bins. Remove old crumbs, wipe bins, and ensure lids seal tightly. This keeps food fresh and pest-free. Barn feed containers should get the same treatment—old feed attracts moisture and pests during late winter.
If you discover worn-out supplies during your deep clean, The Hungry Puppy offers bowls, bedding, grooming tools, and feed storage solutions for pets and livestock. A fresh environment sets the stage for a healthier spring.
