We tend to think one of two ways about bathing a dog. Some peo­ple think dogs don’t need to be bathed more than once a year or so, while oth­ers believe in bathing their dog every month.

While bathing is ben­e­fi­cial, it can cause prob­lems if it is done too frequently.

Dogs have nat­ural oils in their skin and fur, just like humans do. Wash­ing too often will cause dry­ing, leav­ing your dog at risk of scratch­ing and devel­op­ing sores. Keep in mind that there are some ben­e­fits to hav­ing nat­ural oils present. For one, they pro­vide pro­tec­tion from skin bacteria.

Make bathing a dog fun for you and your pet, but take care. There are cer­tain things you must watch.

1. Pro­tect your dog’s ears. If water and soap enter the ear canal, an infec­tion can develop. This can be tem­po­rary but it can also cause seri­ous dam­age. Infec­tions can harm the ear drum and lead to deaf­ness. There are famil­iar signs that your dog might have an ear infec­tion. He will shake his head and you will see a con­stant dis­charge from the ears.

To ensure this doesn’t hap­pen, gen­tly plug your dog’s ears with cot­ton balls. Do not force them into the ear canal. Sim­ply place them securely at the ear entrance to block water from enter­ing. When the bath is over, be sure to dry the inside of the ears as some mois­ture is likely to gain access. Use a cloth over your fin­ger. If you choose to use a cot­ton swab, be extremely care­ful not to enter too deeply into the canal or you could punc­ture the ear drum.

2. Use a proper dog sham­poo as they are for­mu­lated specif­i­cally to pro­tect your dog’s skin and fur. Human soaps can be too harsh and irri­tat­ing. As well, there is the chance your dog will be aller­gic to the scents that are added to human products.

3. Fre­quency of bathing will depend on your par­tic­u­lar dog’s breed. Longer haired dogs will require more fre­quent wash­ing than short haired breeds. If you have a Spaniel or other hairy dog, sched­ule the baths to once every two months. Other breeds can go 6–8 months. How­ever, if your dog spends a lot of time out­side, he is likely to become dirty faster. Reg­u­late your baths accordingly.

It’s impor­tant to start your dog off right with the bathing rou­tine. Be patient and com­pas­sion­ate. Once you scare your dog, it will be more dif­fi­cult bathing him in the future. Try to make it fun. Dogs love hav­ing water sprin­kled on them, and run­ning into rivers and lakes.

Set up your bath out­side when pos­si­ble and encour­age him to run through it. Use a toy to dis­tract him from the water. When his energy has sub­sided, begin the bath. You might want to put him on a leash so he can’t run away.

Be sure to col­lect all the equip­ment first: soap, con­di­tioner, towel and some sort of bowl to pour water over him. Water run­ning out of the hose might be too cold, how­ever water in the bath will have warmed to a com­fort­able temperature.

Show your dog that bathing is some­thing to enjoy and he will look for­ward to your next ses­sion with excitement.

Cloakroom Suites – A practical necessity

by Bath Towel on November 23, 2009

 

Cloak­room Suites

While plan­ning your house, keep pro­vi­sion for a cloak­room suite on the ground floor. Hav­ing a cloak­room suite or a sep­a­rate bath­room with hand-wash and toi­let facil­i­ties serves as a bonus facil­ity in the house by tak­ing the rush-time load off the main bath­room as well as cater­ing to your party guests. It also comes in handy for a pre­lim­i­nary wash job when chil­dren rush inside with muddy hands and boots after play­ing outside.

Loca­tion of Cloak­room Suite

The unused area under the stair­case or a sec­tion of the lounge, or any other niche which has lit­tle or no func­tional use, can be made into a cloak­room suite. Plan­ning has to be done regard­ing plumb­ing in a water sup­ply and link­ing it directly to the soil pipe to ensure that waste can be flushed away. Once you ear­mark this place, plan on min­i­mal fit­tings and a no-fuss no-frills look for a self-contained bath­room.

Design Your Cloak­room Suite

Since the cloak­room suite does not have bathing facil­i­ties, all you need are a basin, toi­let and maybe a rack to hang the towel. A compact-sized basin with mir­ror mounted on a stor­age cab­i­net is ideal for cloak­rooms. The cab­i­net can be used to store the required util­i­ties, like soap, tow­els, toi­let rolls and deter­gents. The towel rack and soap stand can be fixed on the adjoin­ing wall. Co-ordinated toi­let and basin sets look good and lend a chic to the bath­room décor.

Float­ing aroma can­dles in a bowl of water and some colour­ful pot­pourri will com­plete the look.

Ideas On Cleaning A Shower Curtain

by Bath Towel on September 16, 2009

It is pos­si­ble to look after your shower cur­tain so that it lasts longer for you. There are some ideas and meth­ods that have been devel­oped to keep your bath­room clean and tidy.

Because the shower cur­tain is always exposed to water moulds usu­ally form on it. One thing that you can do is to remove the cur­tain maybe once every two or three days and hang it out in the sun. This will give it a chance to com­pletely dry and kill any germs and bac­te­ria that are likely to be on it.

Another option is to wash your cur­tain when­ever you do your laun­dry or more reg­u­larly if need be. The trick is adding a cup of vine­gar and bleach­ing agent to your nor­mal deter­gent. Throw in some white tow­els and load the machine to its usu­ally capac­ity, you can even add some of your clothes as well.

Hot water will dam­age the cur­tain as it might either melt or shrink in size. When you are done wash­ing hang it out in the sun to dry, do not throw it in the dryer as it might get damaged.

After you are done wash­ing soak it in salt water and vine­gar and then hang it on the rod and leave it to dry from there. The salt water and the vine­gar will pre­vent the for­ma­tion of mildew and moulds.

There are also some sprays that are now avail­able that you can use on your shower cur­tain. The sprays serve the same func­tion as the salt water and vine­gar solu­tion. Remem­ber to always wash down any soap foams that fall on the shower cur­tain; they are the ones that usu­ally become moldy.

Show­ers cur­tains are not that dif­fi­cult to look after and they can last you a long time Besides the tips men­tioned here you will find some of the best shower cur­tain ideas from any of these: shower cur­tains, green and pur­ple shower cur­tain, hook­less shower cur­tains with mesh pockets
