Wipe four paws at the door, before the yard comes in
Whatever the yard held stays at the door, not on the rug. These are unscented, plant-based and thick enough for real cleaning. Caked mud takes a second wipe. How to clean your dog's paws
Start the robot, empty the bin
Hair gets cleared before it gets walked into the carpet. The Q7 L5 has 8,000 Pa suction and anti-tangle brushes for pet hair. Its dock charges it but does not empty it, so the bin is yours after every run. The complete pet hair system
Blot and treat any accident the same day
Fresh pee is the easy one: blot, spray, wait a few minutes, blot again. Plant-based enzymes, no dyes or artificial fragrance. No accident today? Skip it. Your day is 7 minutes. How to get dog pee smell out of carpet
Roll the couch where the dog sleeps
Short back-and-forth strokes, then empty the chamber. No sticky sheets, no refills, no batteries. Clothes are not its job; the laundry discs on the weekly list handle those. Couch smells like dog? Get it out of the foam
Wash the dog bed with an enzyme booster

Sniff the usual spots, soak the repeat one overnight
A spot that smells again wants a longer soak. Rocco & Roxie's directions for old, dried pee: soak it, leave it overnight, let it air dry. Its label says no steam cleaner until it has sat overnight, because high heat deactivates its biological ingredients. Why pet odor keeps coming back
Print it
Tick it on the fridge, not in your head. Print the 8-box checklist.
