Lastniki psov in mačk v Sloveniji se vsako pomlad soočajo z enako težavo. Obdobje menjave dlake pri hišnem ljubljenčku preizkuša potrpežljivost še tako pedantnih skrbnikov. Strokovnjaki opozarjajo, da pa ključ do čistega stanovanja ni v dolgotrajnem čiščenju ob koncu tedna, temveč v preventivi in uporabi preprostih fizikalnih zakonov.
Slovenija se uvršča med države z visokim številom hišnih ljubljenčkov na prebivalca, kar pomeni, da vprašanje higiene v bivalnih prostorih ni zgolj estetsko vprašanje, ampak je predvsem vprašanje zdravja, zlasti za alergike. Za ohranjanje standardov čistoče strokovnjaki izpostavljajo pet ključnih strategij.
1. Nega živali
Najučinkovitejši način za obvladovanje dlak je njihovo odstranjevanje neposredno pri viru. Namesto čakanja, da prekrijejo talne površine, redno krtačenje – zlasti v prehodnih obdobjih – drastično zmanjša količino odpadkov v zraku. Pri bolj kosmatih psih priporočajo dnevno nego, kar je hkrati imenitna priložnost za preventivni pregled za morebitne zajedavce, kot so klopi.
2. Mikrorutina
Namesto zamudnega sesanja enkrat tedensko se v praksi bolje obnesejo desetminutni intervali vsak drugi dan. Takšen ritem preprečuje, da bi se prhljaj in dlake zažrli globoko v tekstilne obloge, od koder jih je kasneje skoraj nemogoče popolnoma odstraniti. Posebno pozornost je treba nameniti prehodnim prostorom, kot so hodniki.
3. Moč narave
Sodobni osvežilci zraka vonjave pogosto zgolj prekrijejo, kar lahko draži občutljiva dihala živali. Alternativa so preverjena domača sredstva. Soda bikarbona odlično veže neprijetne vonjave iz preprog. Kisova raztopina, denimo, je primerna za razkuževanje trdih površin.
Strokovnjaki ob tem opozarjajo, naj se lastniki izogibajo čistilom z močnimi eteričnimi olji, saj so nekatera, kot je olje čajevca, za mačke lahko strupena.
4. Okolica hrane
Območje, kjer živali jedo, je pogosto spregledano žarišče bakterij. Ostanki sline in vlage ustvarjajo idealno okolje za razvoj mikroorganizmov. Uporaba pralnih podlog in vsakodnevno izpiranje posod z vročo vodo bi morala postati rutina v vsakem gospodinjstvu.
5. Inovativni triki za tekstil
Ko sesalnik odpove, na pomoč priskočijo preprosti pripomočki. Uporaba rahlo navlažene gumijaste rokavice se je izkazala za eno najučinkovitejših metod za odstranjevanje dlak s sedežnih garnitur. Zaradi trenja in statične elektrike se dlake sprimejo v kepe, ki jih z lahkoto poberemo. To metodo v zadnjem času precej promovirajo na družbenih omrežjih.
