7 Spring Cleaning Tasks You Don’t Want To Forget

Give Your Dog a Bath

While it’s common to wash your dog’s bed, bowls and toys, giving your four-legged friend a bath will extend the results of your other spring cleaning projects. And a clean dog makes the air feel fresher.

Before you spring-clean your bathtub, wash your dog there. First, collect the necessary supplies — treats, a dog brush, dog-safe shampoo and conditioner, a large plastic cup, a non-slip mat for him and a kneeling pad for you. Also grab lots of towels.

Start by brushing your dog to remove excess fur. Then put the non-slip mat into the tub and run the water until it reaches a consistent and comfortable temperature.

Lift small dogs into the tub, or invite large dogs to jump in on their own, using a treat as encouragement. Wet your dog with the plastic cup, then wash and condition as recommended on the bottles. Rinse your dog thoroughly, then dry him off. Lift him out of the tub, give him one more treat for being a good boy, and stand back and prepare for the zoomies!
