If your dog lives in an insulated dog house, it is not only important to keep their home clean; it’s also a law in some states. Here are a few tips to making your dog’s house squeaky clean:

  • Clean their dog house at least once a month. During the wet seasons, humid summers, and colder weather, it is important to clean the doghouse more often.
  • Make sure you wear rubber gloves when you clean the doghouse, as you most likely will have to remove feces and urine from bedding.
  • Begin by removing all feces around the doghouse.
  • Make sure to clean the surrounding areas as well, so that your dog does not track filth into your newly-cleaned dog house.
  • Soak all of your dog’s toys in container of warm, soapy water.
  • Remove all of bedding from the doghouse and throw it out.
  • Fill a large bucket with hot, soapy water. Use a stout brush to thoroughly scour the both the inside and the outside of the entire dog house.
  • Use hard spray on your garden hose to completely rinse the house.
  • Use a household disinfectant to thoroughly clean the dog house.
  • Allow the dog house to air dry.

  • If you follow these few easy steps, your dog’s home will be clean and habitable. And doesn’t your beloved pet deserve that?
