A Good Wife's Way of Looking After a Pet!

A good wife knows that having a pet is more of a burden, then a pleasurable experience, as those furry little things leave dirt and fur all over the house, and make a mess that only a super wife could keep up with! Not to mention how they like to lie around on the furniture, or would sometimes wake hubby up in the middle of the night, so that he can't even get some well deserved rest! Positively shocking, I tell you! And that, dear ladies, is in the case when your pet is not some weird or exotic creature, like an iguana, or a tarantula, a boa, a kimono dragon... These poor creatures are not only hideous to behold and frightening to your lady friends, but also may make you hesitate, before cleaning after them! Luckily, as a good wife, I've made sure that I know how to deal with their mess, which involved a number of lengthy discussions with one-off cleaners and professional end of tenancy cleaning London professionals, who were kind enough to provide me with a few useful tips. So, you know the drill, ladies! Pens and paper out!

Tip on cleaning after exotic pets the 1st: Its Health! Yes, you read that right, dear ladies! Poorly cleaned lizard and snake enclosures breed harmful bacteria that, left alone, can end up killing your pet, or affecting you and your family. Which means that your hubby might be in danger! So clean those lizards, ladies! Scrub them hard! For hubby!

Tip on cleaning after exotic pets the 2nd! Plan on cleaning your pet enclosure every one to two weeks, and have a back-up enclosure to put your pet in while you are doing this, especially if you happen to own a python. Any foul smell coming from the cage is a good indicator that it is time for a cleaning, even if it is before the scheduled cleaning time. Those bacteria are not playing games, ladies! Once you leave them off your radar, and they'll multiple... eventually affecting hubby! If you're a good wife, you will do everything in your earthly power to prevent that from happening!

Tip on cleaning after your exotic pet the 3rd! This, dear ladies, is the reptilian version of an end of tenancy cleaning! This may be a climbing gym, water bowl or a reclining chair, if you have a very lazy lizard. Clean the furniture with disinfecting spray or hot soapy water to remove any bacteria or filth left behind. If you use sand, gravel or wood shavings as litter for your pet, these should be sifted through any feces or other waste removed. Use rubber gloves or a pet shovel to keep from spreading around the mess that is already there. The worst thing that could happen would be for hubby to come home from work and find a mess, simply because you're incapable to clean after a single pet! Bad wife! Bad!

Tip on cleaning after your exotic pet the 4th! Usually a one-off cleaning once a month is fine depending on the size of your pet in relation to its enclosure. Once you've done this, scrub out the cage itself, again with disinfectant spray or hot soapy water to keep harmful bacteria to a minimum. Once you have finished wiping out the tank, be sure to rinse it so no soap, cleaning chemicals or disinfectant is left behind. Otherwise these could harm your pet when you put it back inside.

Bottom line, dear ladies, is that bacteria spread from everything and can easily affect your hubby's health, if they're not taken care of on time! So, stop lying around and dozing off on the couch, and get to work!

Both your salamander and your hubby need you!
