In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Cleaning can be a drag, but the best way to stop your home from smelling like your pets is to clean regularly and stay on top of messes. A good cleaning routine will include regular vacuuming, floor washing, laundry, and dusting. For the best results: Vacuum three times a week Clean hard floors weekly with a vinegar and water solution Dust weekly Do laundry as necessary when you have a full load Clean carpets every couple of months You may be tempted to leave extra nasty messes for later, but try to act as soon as possible to avoid lingering odors. Pick up solid waste and throw it in the garbage. Blot the mess to absorb excess moisture. Spray the mess with an enzyme cleaner, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, blot the area with rags or a cloth and let it air dry. Urine, feces, and vomit can leave especially troublesome smells, so prioritize these for a better smelling home. Pet smells build up over time, so it's important to stay on top of cleaning and washing. Wash your pet's bed, fabric toys, leashes, and collars in the washing machine every month. Wash hard toys every month in the sink with soap and water. Water bowls need more frequent attention--wash these with soap and water every week. A well groomed pet not only smells good, but looks good, too. Regularly bathe your pet, clip their nails, and brush their teeth. Keeping up with regular grooming can drastically improve the smell of your house, because fur, dirty nails, and even bad breath can make your house stink. Brush your pet every day to remove excess fur and dirt. Brush your pet's teeth at least three times a week for good oral hygiene and fresh breath. Bathe your dog at least once a month, and more for dogs with particularly smelly fur. Pets love to explore. This brings them a lot of joy, but also means that they can track all kinds of stinky substances into the house. To prevent this, leave a towel by the door and always wipe your pet's paws when it comes inside. This is especially important on rainy and muddy days, or if your pet rolled in something outside. Your pet may have proudly claimed an armchair or a spot on the couch as their own. This special space, or any other furniture where your pet lounges, will need frequent washing to keep the odors at bay. If your pets spend a lot of time on your furniture, it's a good idea to invest in washable covers like slip covers. That way, you don't have to worry about the hassle of vacuuming and scrubbing your furniture. Instead, just throw the cover in the wash. You can also invest in easy-to-clean furniture, such as microfiber, that won't absorb smells and stains like furniture with a thick weave will. Grab your pooper scooper, and get to scooping daily! This will minimize urine and feces smells. You should change the litter monthly.
Summary: Get into a regular cleaning routine. Clean pet messes immediately. Wash toys, bedding, and accessories regularly. Keep your pet well-groomed. Wipe paws before your pet comes inside. Put a washable cover on furniture. Keep the litter box clean.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your next career path should maximize the things you're good at, and give you an opportunity to enjoy your work, while also providing financial security for your later years. The majority of people entering an "encore career" later in life go into the fields of education, healthcare, government, and non-profit. Of course, these are not your only options, but great places to get started in your search. As you weigh your options, check out this helpful wikiHow page for help choosing the right second career. Major career changes might require additional qualifications that you don't currently have, and if the process is very costly or time consuming, you need to determine whether the payoff will be worth it. For example, if you do not already hold an advanced degree but decide to become a university professor, you will have to go through five or more years of graduate school (which can cost tens of thousands of dollars) followed by six or more years in the tenure track before you obtain job security. Depending on your age, it may not be feasible or practical to accrue debt in order to switch careers. Other career changes, such as a change from teaching to school administration, may only require a certification exam and license. Entering a new career at an older age can have unexpected drawbacks and challenges, and these can vary by industry, so be sure you talk with a trusted adviser about the field you are considering. Prepare for possible discrimination in the hiring process. While age-based discrimination is illegal, it is still common. Job ads are often coded to indicate that the company seeks a younger employee, using language like "energetic" or "fresh" as code for "young." Some places routinely hire only young employees, such as Facebook, whose employees have a median age of 28. Even when you land the job, you are likely to be perceived as less technologically advanced simply because of your age. You can mitigate some of this concern by polishing up your digital presence and taking courses at the local community college in any specific software or hardware you might need to know in your chosen field.
Summary: Consider your experiences, qualifications, and skills. Determine if you need additional education, training, or certification. Think about other obstacles you may encounter.
