What a Chamois Idea!

Do you ever get frustrated at trying to keep the floor dry, in your pet’s area where their food and water dishes are?  It never fails, right?  Just when you wipe the floor clean (or get the carpet cleaned up if you have carpet), the dog comes, takes a drink of water and spills some on the floor.  Is there anything you can use to keep the floor dry?  We believe so.

Go to your local CVS, Target or other such store and purchase a chamois towel.  Put the chamois towel underneath the water dish to collect any water that is spilled right around the bowl.  The chamois towels are super-absorbent towels that love to soak up fluids.

One reason we thought about chamois towels is having to clean-up pee spots all of the time out of carpet.  Animal urine as you well know is carpet’s best friend and makes for lovely odors that are difficult to remove to say the least (note the sarcasm).  So even though the root of the problem needs to be addressed with why the pets are urinating on the floor, to save the floor from getting wet, and ultimately ruined, try using a chamois or chamois type of towel. It may just be the trick that keeps your sanity in-check.

Another type of towel that you might want to try is the Sham-Wow towel.  These towels are supposedly washable, too.  You can purchase them for as low as $7.60 brand new through Amazon sellers and possibly even cheaper than that if you searched around a little.
