Have you ever seen an online shop that proudly states, “Made In A Pet Free Home”? Why is this such a selling point? What’s the big deal, anyway?

Aside from the obvious problems, like the shopper who’s allergic to cats/dogs, there are other reasons to shop with a pet-free vendor. No one wants to buy something, then find it’s covered in pet fur. Or worse, that it has certain kitty or doggie …odors.

Even a single fur can make an item seem unclean, sloppily made, or just gross. In a word, unprofessional. There’s no way pet lovers can compete, right?

Before you light up that comment box, my husband and I share an apartment with a cat. I do a lot of yarn crafts that are professionally made and finished. I do not have a studio, separate workroom, or a hog-tied cat. Never once have I received a customer complaint about fur, funk, or other common pet related crafting problems.

Check back tomorrow as I start sharing my not-so-secrets for maintaining that pet fur free record.
