If you have a soft dog crate that your dog uses with any frequency, it will eventually need cleaning. Soft dog cages can be a bit tricky to clean, because they can be difficult to access without going inside. This article will attempt to provide some tips for keeping your dog’s soft crate clean with as little discomfort 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 that you get your dog out of the crate and clean up the mess.

In the event of toilet-related accidents, simply remove or absorb as much material as possible from the inside of the soft dog crate. Next, apply an animal-safe cleaning solution, such as 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. Next, remove all toys and blankets from your puppy. Wash toys and blankets in a washing machine, if possible. Then for the soft box itself, use a cloth and a mild, non-toxic cleaning solution. Clean all floors, side walls, and roof of the box. Make sure you don’t leave any cleaning solution residue before returning your dog to his crate.

As always, the more often you clean your puppy’s crate, the easier the occasion will be. Just set aside a little time and be patient, and the cleaning process won’t be as bad as some people fear.
