If you have a soft dog crate that your dog uses with some frequency, it will eventually need some cleaning. Soft dog crates can be tricky to clean, as it can be difficult to get inside without climbing inside. This article will attempt to provide some tips for keeping your dog’s soft crate clean with as little hassle or stress as possible.

First of all, it is vital to realize that if your dog uses his crate frequently, he will need to clean it frequently. Every time your puppy has an accident inside his soft crate, it is necessary for his health to take your dog out of the crate and clean up the mess.

For potty accidents, simply remove or absorb as much material as possible from the inside of the soft dog crate. Then apply an animal-safe cleaning solution, like Nature’s Miracle, to the spot and allow it to disinfect the area. Then completely wipe off the cleaning solution.

For routine cleaning, first make sure your dog is out of the crate. Then, remove all of your pup’s toys and blankets. Wash toys and blankets in a washing machine, if possible. Then for the soft case itself, use a cloth and a mild, non-toxic cleaning solution. Clean all the floors, side walls, and roof of the box. Be sure not to leave any cleaning solution residue behind before returning your dog to his crate.

As always, the more often you clean your pup’s soft crate, the easier the occasion will be. Just set aside a little time and have a little patience, and the cleanup process won’t be as bad as some people fear it to be.
