If you’ve ever picked up after your dog with a small plastic bag, you know how unpleasant it can be. It’s not just the awkwardness of handling the waste; it’s also the risk of missing pieces and spreading bacteria in your yard. At Clean Paws Scooping, we’ve moved away from using traditional doggie poop bags, and here’s why you’ll love our new method.Our approach isn’t just about making things easier for us—it’s about providing you with a more hygienic, efficient, and thorough service. Keep reading to see why we use specialized tools and how it benefits you.

Why We Don’t Use Traditional Doggie Poop Bags

When it comes to cleaning up after dogs, using small plastic bags has a few major downsides, especially when it’s done by hand:
  • It’s Unsanitary When you pick up fresh dog waste with a small bag, you’re practically using your hand to handle it. That warm, squishy feeling through the plastic? No thanks. And if the waste has been sitting there for a while, it hardens and sticks to surfaces, forcing you to scrape it up with your fingernails or sticks—not exactly pleasant. Worst of all, you’re potentially spreading bacteria across your yard.
  • It’s Inefficient If you’ve ever cleaned your yard yourself, you know how many small bags it takes to cover an entire space. It’s time-consuming, frustrating, and not very effective when it comes to finding all the waste, especially if it’s hidden in tall grass, between rocks, or stuck on roots.
  • It Can Spread Germs Using the same pair of gloves or handling multiple waste bags can transfer bacteria and germs from one spot to another, leaving your yard less clean than you’d like. This is especially concerning when dealing with multiple dogs or older waste.
  • It Can Cause Back Pain Cleaning up your yard with small bags means constant bending over each time you find a piece of waste. This repetitive motion can put unnecessary strain on your back, especially if you’re bending over to pick up small pieces across the yard. And the worst part? Every time you go down, you hope you don’t accidentally step in what you’re about to clean up!
  • Why this benefits you: We save you the hassle—and the pain!—of constantly bending over and getting up, eliminating the physical strain that comes with trying to clean your yard yourself. Plus, you won’t have to worry about missing waste or stepping in it by accident.

    How We Do It (and Why It’s Better for You)

    We’ve taken a different approach that ensures your yard is cleaned faster, more thoroughly, and with a higher level of hygiene. Here’s how we do it—and how it benefits you.

    Specialized Tools for Bulk Removal

    Instead of using small, flimsy bags, we use industry-grade tools that allow us to remove waste in bulk. This includes heavy-duty rakes and scrapers designed to easily lift both fresh and hardened waste. Whether it’s stuck to rocks, hidden in tall grass, or hardened in tough-to-reach spots, we’ve got the right tools to scoop it up without missing a spot.

    Why this benefits you: Your yard stays completely free of waste, even in those tricky places you might miss with a small bag and your hands. Plus, no need to worry about feeling gross or missing hidden piles.

    We Sanitize Equipment and Shoes Before Every Visit

    One of the biggest benefits we offer is our commitment to hygiene. We sanitize all of our equipment, and even our shoes, before stepping onto your property. This ensures that we’re not carrying any germs or bacteria from one house to the next, keeping your yard safer for you, your pets, and your family.

    Why this benefits you: You don’t have to worry about bacteria or germs from other homes contaminating your space. We take extra care to keep everything as clean as possible while we work, leaving your yard not just poop-free but also safer.

    No More Gross Handling

    Let’s be honest: picking up poop with a bag means you’re still handling it with your hands. If it’s warm, you feel it. If it’s hard and dried out, you’re scraping it up with sticks or even your fingernails—gross! We do all the dirty work for you with specialized tools designed to scrape and lift waste without any mess or risk of bacteria transfer.

    Why this benefits you: You can say goodbye to that unpleasant feeling of warm waste in your hand or the frustration of trying to clean up hardened waste with your fingernails. We handle it all so you don’t have to.

    Bulk Disposal for Convenience

    We remove all waste in bulk, placing it in a single large bag for easy disposal. This keeps your yard cleaner and your trash bin less cluttered, all while reducing the risk of lingering smells or mess.

    Why this benefits you: You don’t need to fill your trash with multiple small bags of waste. We handle the entire cleanup process quickly and efficiently, leaving your space spotless.

    Why This Matters for Your Yard
    Our method isn’t just about convenience; it’s about ensuring your yard stays clean, safe, and ready for you to enjoy. Whether you’re planning a family BBQ, outdoor dinner, or simply want a safe, sanitary space for your kids and pets to play, our approach makes all the difference.
    • A cleaner, more sanitary yard for you to enjoy year-round, free from the risk of missed waste and bacteria.
    • No more gross handling—we do the dirty work so you don’t have to.
    • Quick, efficient service that leaves your yard looking pristine without the hassle of multiple bags or slow cleanups.
    That’s why we don’t use traditional doggie poop bags anymore—because we’re committed to providing you with a better, cleaner, more efficient service. Your yard deserves the best, and we’re here to deliver.
