As a pet owner, you know the joy and companionship that furry friends bring to our lives. However, maintaining a clean home with pets can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. At Cleaning Pass, we understand this challenge all too well. Many of our clients in New York City, Jersey City, Queens, and Weehawken are busy professionals who love their pets but struggle to keep their homes spotless. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you achieve a clean home while keeping your pets happy and healthy.
Pet-friendly cleaning products and techniques
When it comes to cleaning a home with pets, using the right products is crucial. At Cleaning Pass, we prioritize the use of eco-friendly cleaning products that are safe for families, pets, and the environment. This approach aligns perfectly with pet-friendly cleaning practices.
Here are some tips for choosing and using pet-safe cleaning products:
Look for natural, non-toxic cleaners: Opt for products with ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and citrus-based cleaners. These are effective yet safe for pets.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Steer clear of cleaners containing ammonia, chlorine, or phenols, as these can be harmful to pets if ingested or inhaled.
Use steam cleaning: For deep cleaning carpets and upholstery, steam cleaning is an excellent pet-safe option that doesn’t require chemicals.
Dilute cleaning solutions: Even with pet-safe products, it’s a good idea to dilute them to reduce any potential irritation.
Rinse thoroughly: After cleaning, always rinse surfaces well to remove any residue that curious pets might lick.
Tackling common pet-related cleaning issues
Pet owners face unique cleaning challenges. Here’s how to address some of the most common issues:
Pet hair: Regular vacuuming is key. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to trap allergens. For quick clean-ups, keep lint rollers or damp rubber gloves handy.
Odor control: Baking soda is your best friend for neutralizing odors. Sprinkle it on carpets before vacuuming or use it in litter boxes.
Stain removal: Act quickly on pet stains. Blot (don’t rub) the area with a clean cloth, then use a pet-specific enzymatic cleaner to break down the proteins in the stain.
Litter box area: Keep the area around the litter box clean by using a mat to catch scattered litter. Clean the box daily and do a deep clean weekly.
Muddy paws: Keep a towel by the door to wipe paws after walks. Consider using washable rugs in high-traffic areas for easy cleaning.
