When it comes to the health and wellness of our pets, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Many cleaning products claim to be pet-friendly, but the reality is, unless you’re using plain, old water, it’s difficult to ensure that the product won’t affect your pet in any way. The cleaning products in this article are environmentally friendly, sustainable, and better suited for use in the home than harsh chemicals - but they should still be kept out of reach of pets (as should all cleaning supplies). Let’s dive in…

1. Nanocoat

Are you tired of nose prints on your glass? Sure, they’re cute, but they’re also a bit messy. Nanocoat is the perfect way to protect surfaces in the home and keep them looking clean without the extra elbow grease when you have pets. It creates a barrier on the surface that prevents the build-up of dirt, grime, tongue marks, and pawprints, significantly reducing the cleaning time needed and keeping your home cleaner for longer.

2. Squeegees

Silicone squeegees are an exceptional tool when it comes to cleaning up after pets. They’re great for keeping glass looking fresh between cleans, especially if you’ve got a puppy who loves to give your windows kisses. You can also use them on the carpet! Simply run the squeegee over a section of your carpet a few times and you’ll likely see a good amount of pet hair brought to the surface that your vacuum cleaner couldn’t quite get to.

3. Cleaning cloths

Do you find you’re using a lot of paper towels when cleaning up after your pets? Make the switch to microfibre cleaning cloths and you’ll see a noticeable difference. Not only are they reusable and environmentally friendly, perfect for soaking up pet messes, but they also provide a far superior finish on your surfaces when cleaning compared to paper towel. Simply pop them in your washing machine or hand rinse after use.

Our pets are incredibly important members of the family and tailoring our cleaning techniques to keep them safe and keep our homes spotless doesn’t have to be a difficult task.
