Trends and Products: Waste Cleaning – Pet Age

KEEP IT CLEAN
As any pet parent will tell you, cleaning products are an underappreciated part of pet ownership. Cat litter and poop bags are necessities; however, waste disposal and cleaning products like poop bag dispensers and stain removers are also essential purchases for consumers who own dogs and cats. In fact, such companion pets as birds, critters and herps require cleaning items that can be used to keep their environment a healthy one. Natural ingredients continue to be in demand when it comes to cleaning and neutralizing products for urine, stains and odors.
