Sharing your porch with pets means extra love—and extra fur, paw prints, and the occasional muddy surprise. Keeping it cozy and clean just takes a few smart habits.
🐾 1. Layer Smart
Use washable throws or outdoor rugs that can handle paw traffic. Stick to darker, patterned fabrics that hide hair and dirt between washes.
🧹 2. Keep a Porch Kit
Store a small broom, lint roller, towel, and pet wipes nearby. A 2-minute wipe-down before they come inside saves a full cleaning later.
🌿 3. Manage the Smells
Add a few pots of mint, rosemary, or lavender—they naturally freshen the air and keep bugs away.
🚿 4. Wash on Rotation
Wash porch cushions, beds, and mats weekly (or more during shedding season). Quick refresh = calm space.
A tidy porch isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a space where you and your pets can relax, paws up, guilt-free.
