[quote=Anonymous]It's mostly just keeping up with the vacuuming and general cleaning but imo the things people miss are:

You need to wash all the soft goods. Upholstery, curtains and rugs all need to be periodically cleaned with soap and water. So have an extractor. If you have rugs, either clean them with the extractor or better, have them sent out and washed (this is easy but annoyingly expensive for knotted wool rugs). Curtains, take to the drycleaner every so often. I guess if you really keep the dog off the sofa, you don't have to wash it. But I mean, good luck. Keep enzymatic cleaner for accidents, but the main thing is a lot of water. You can't dab at dog vomit with a spray bottle and a cloth. It needs to be thoroughly flushed with water. So having an extractor handy is key.

Also, periodically wash all the snout level surfaces. Walls, doors, door jambs. Use a spin mop, hot water and a mild detergent.

Your dust is now potentially smellier than normal dust. So be on top of it, especially the literal top of it. Above door jambs, cabinets, the back of shelves, etc. Once a year, wipe them off with hot water and mild detergent.
