Make your upholstered furniture pet-proof.

Cover your seat cushions with zip-off covers that are easy to launder. Run away from fussy fabrics that have to be dry-cleaned. If you're buying a new sofa, select fabric that's tan or brown (the color of dirt), or go with a white that can be bleached. To my surprise, I've found my cream-colored furniture is ideal for pets because many of the spot removers I've discovered work best on light fabrics.
