I spilled some damp kitty litter while emptying the tray into the bin… now I have to sweep that up and mop the lino. And before that I spilled a drink on the carpet next to my bed that I need to finish blotting up and use cleaner on.
Cleaning is truly never over :(
i mop the floor every time anyway, cat paws are yucky, only takes 5 seconds with the dettol wipes mop https://www.dettol.com.au/cleaning/wipes/dettol-antibacterial-floor-mop-system-pack-of-25-wipes/
carpet, I do not like carpet
I don’t use disinfectant on the floor because it’s toxic to cats D:
I use hot soapy water and have a small bottle of veterinary disinfectant if it’s ever really bad
The warning is don't let cats walk on wet floors. Dry floor it's ok. 👍
Bubs has a habit of teleporting onto freshly applied cleaning products so there’s a lot of nontoxic stuff used
Cats are magnetically attracted to places uou don't want them to be
