Top 10+ products pet owners swear by to keep their house clean

A time-honored classic, I remember having Nature's Miracle in my childhood home in the early 2000s. Bith Holmes and senior reporter Dru Moorhouse use and recommend it for nixing odors and stains from carpets as well as spot cleaning smaller messes.

The Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner is another HuffPost reader favorite (and also beloved by "Queer Eye" star Bobby Berk). Lindsay Holmes, deputy life editor, recommends it for bigger messes or deep cleans, noting that it's been in heavy rotation now that she has a puppy in her home. "Someone got it for us for our wedding and it sat unused for months until we got a dog and now it is my lifesaver," she said.

For accidents from smaller dogs, senior shopping writer Lourdes Uribe recommends this Woolite carpet and upholstery cleaner, calling it a game-changer in her home. "The sooner you use it the better, but not only does it help to remove stains and odors, but it revitalizes and freshens up the rug as well," she said.

Moorhouse also endorsed the Uproot Clean Pro pet hair remover bundle. It comes with three hair-removing tools: a longer broom-style model, a hand-held option and a mini portable option you can easily keep in your car or bag, or use for hard-to-reach mini spots. Note: These are not to be used on knit fabrics or super soft fabrics like wool or silk, but are great for cars, couches and chairs.

To pack an extra punch, mainly when cleaning up pet vomit, HuffPost breaking news reporter Sanjana Karanth and former art director Jianan Liu both recommend Nature's Miracle's Advanced spray that has extra strong stain- and odor-eliminating power. "This has saved our apartment from many senior dog pukes and foster dog accidents," Karanth said.

For some added heat and cleaning intensity, HuffPost breaking news reporter Ryan Grenoble recommends the Bissell Little Green ProHeat, calling it a "must-have" for messes from both pets and kiddos alike. This baby is essentially a mini wet vac that can be used to detail your car and spot-clean your carpets and has an extra handy self-cleaning rinse tool extension.

Nina Golgowski, a senior breaking news reporter, recommends the OxiClean carpet spray and strain remover, calling it "the only thing that I've found that works on stains easily." It's a spot cleaner that works for food messes as well as pet accidents in just 10 minutes.

Sitzes, along with former supervising editor Bobbi Olson, recommends this Rocco & Roxie stain and odor eliminator that specifically targets pet urine. It can be used on carpets and rugs but also floors, furniture, clothing, litter boxes, kennels, carriers and your pet's bed or sleeping area to get rid of stains and smells.

Meet a budget-friendly option that's easy to use and store. News director Paige Lavender likes this fur broom made with thick silicone bristles and a squeegee edge on the back. Simply swipe it over your floors and carpets to pick up fur and hair in seconds.
