Muddy paws in your house or your car can now be a thing of the past. For years, I have used a towel trying to get my dogs’ paws clean and dry, and it never seems to do a great job.

You don’t want these dirty paws in your house until they are cleaned

A dog paw cleaner or a dog paw washer is the easy way to get those muddy paws clean and it is much easier than using a towel. A dog paw cleaner is a bit different from a dog paw washer.

A dog paw cleaner is a type of cloth specially designed for cleaning your dog’s paws. A dog paw washer is a small device designed to make it easy to clean your dog’s paws by you sticking your dog’s paws into some type of reservoir with water that will have soft bristles to help remove dirt from your dog’s paws.

You can add a gentle soap or just use clean water. You will either spin the container or move your dog’s paws over the bristles.

Using a Dog Paw Washer might take some getting used to for your dog, but it shouldn’t be overly difficult if your dog doesn’t mind you handling their paws.

Spotless Paw Dog Paw Cleaning Glove – Dog Paw Cleaner

This would be considered a dog paw cleaner, and one that I highly recommend. Not only will it work great for cleaning your dog’s paws, it also works great for drying or cleaning your dog’s entire body.

The Spotless Cleaning Glove is made with microfiber that attracts dirt like a magnet. It holds 600% of its weight in dirt, grime and water. It is soft, super absorbent that has a unique six fingered glove, designed for use with either the right or left hand and either side can be used.

The microfiber’s special absorbent qualities allow the glove to be used over and over before requiring washing.

  • Wipes paws clean without water
  • Dries quickly
  • Works with all sizes and breeds of dogs

Fingers work for getting in between toes. The microfiber helps dirt get broken down and captured in the microfibers. Cotton fibers that are in most cloths will smear mud. They also stay wet and breeds mold and mildew. They are bulky and difficult to handle and need to be washed after one use.

  1. Hello Marla. Season’s greetings to you. I hope you are having a good time?

    Thank you for sharing your review of the best dog paw cleaner which will enable me to easily clean my dog’s paws. Those muddy paws need to be cleaned before doggie comes in and I think these one of these recommended paw cleaner will do the job perfectly. Which one should I go for?

    • Barry, thanks for reading and for commenting.  I think the best one depends on your dog and your situation.  Personally I really like the Spotless Paw Glove.  That is because many times my dog doesn’t have just dirty paws, but he usually finds some water to get into also, and with the Spotless Paw Glove I have the ability to wipe down his entire body.  I do also like the Dexas Petware Mudbuster is it is just a small mess.  It works quickly and a quick tip of each paw can get my dog back in the house without making a mess.  Those would be my 2 favorites, but I do feel they are all good choices.  

  2. Oh wow…I did not know that all these things existed…amazing. I am new to pet ownership, but I TOTALLY get it about dirty paws. When that happens in our neck of the woods, I simply take the doggie to a bath…yes, it just is easier to clean him that way.

    Now, thanks to you, Marla, I have a few options that I will be checking out. I love the first one…Spotless Paw Dog Paw Cleaning Glove – Dog Paw Cleaner…I think I will like this one.

    Appreciate it, and I will be ‘looking around’ your website for more tips.

    Thanks.

    Michelle

    • Thanks Michelle.  I am also in favor of the Spotless Paw Dog Paw.  It has so many uses besides just your dog’s dirty paws.  It is a great tool to use if they have been out in the rain or a recent swimming adventure to help dry them off and clean them up.  I am glad you found the information helpful and I hope you will be back again to learn more information for your new family member.  

  3. Hi there Marla,

    These are way cool, finally an easy way to clean to those darn dirty paws. Your right towels just don’t seem to do the trick and when your done you have this messy towel to deal with.

    This is going to be great to use on my pets paws after we have taken a trek through the woods before I let them in the car. I can finally keep the car somewhat clean now. 

    At first when I came across the (six finger glove) I thought you might have made a typo, lol but after watching the video I’m assuming the extra finger is so you can use either hand., quite clever.

    • Kim, thanks for reading my article and I am glad you found the information useful.  The 6 finger glove will work great for you when you are out hiking.  It is easy to carry along and will work great before you put your dog back in the car.  

      You are correct about it having 6 fingers so you can easily use it on either hand and also flip the glove around to use either side.
