Basic Pet Mess Management

  

By now you've realized that pets and mess go together  - You can't have the one without the other - namely: puddles and piles of various solids and liquids of varying aroma.

The good news is that no matter what mess 'your pet throws at you' (if they ever really learn to throw it at you, then you may want to find them another home) all of it is quite manageable. Having a plan of action and a few common supplies you will soon be able to deal with the mess with the least amount of fuss.
Lets take a look at the basic principles of a good cleanup.

This section is not a step by step layout but more of a birds-eye view to help you understand the principles involved.
