Use washable bedding, vacuum regularly, and clean surfaces with pet-safe disinfectants. Sphynx cats can leave oil marks, so wipe furniture frequently.
Here’s a concise guide to keeping your home clean with a Sphynx cat:
| Cleaning Task | Tips |
|---|---|
| 1. Litter Box Maintenance | Scoop waste daily and change the litter weekly. Use an enzyme-based cleaner for any accidents. Keep a Litter Genie or covered trash bin nearby for easy disposal. |
| 2. Regular Bathing | Bathe your Sphynx every 2-4 weeks with a mild, cat-safe shampoo to prevent oily buildup. Use cat-safe wipes for spot cleaning between baths. |
| 3. Skin Care Routine | Use a warm, soapy cloth to wipe down your Sphynx weekly. Focus on areas prone to oil buildup, like the belly and neck. Gently clean between wrinkles. |
| 4. Clean Bedding Often | Wash your Sphynx’s blankets, beds, and any cozy spots weekly with fragrance-free detergent. Regular washing reduces oil transfer and keeps odors in check. |
| 5. Dust and Vacuum | Dust surfaces and vacuum carpets or floors weekly, using a vacuum with a HEPA filter to catch dander and hairless cat skin flakes. |
| 6. Protect Furniture | Use washable, pet-friendly covers on furniture to catch oils and stains. Consider using microfiber, which is easy to clean. |
| 7. Manage Ears and Nails | Clean ears weekly to prevent wax buildup, and trim nails every 1-2 weeks to avoid scratches on furniture. Keep a nail file or cat-safe trimmer handy. |
| 8. Use Air Purifiers | A HEPA air purifier can help reduce dander, odors, and airborne particles, keeping the air fresh. Consider placing one near the litter area. |
| 9. Keep Toys Organized | Rotate toys weekly and clean them regularly, especially fabric ones. Store unused toys in a designated box or basket. |
