Whether you’re a pet owner, manage an office with a pet-friendly policy, or have a pet care business, you’ll need to consider your four-legged residents when cleaning. If you have pets in the home and workplace, here are some top tips for cleaning. 

As animal lovers we know the joy and companionship that furry friends bring to our lives. However, we also know the challenges that come with keeping a space clean and tidy in the presence of animals. Here are some aspects of cleaning you may not have considered…

Eco-cleaning options

Many animals show sensitivity to chemical-based cleaning products. This is why using eco-friendly, naturally-based cleaning methods is best. Many cleaning tasks need little or no detergent. For example, a water fed-pole eliminates the need for washing solution on glass. And the power of a pressure washer blasts away dirt in seconds, where you would otherwise spend hours scrubbing with bleach. If you contract a cleaning service, do check that they operate pet-safe practices. 

Smudged glass

Windows are often overlooked when it comes to pet-related cleaning. But with animals around, it’s inevitable that glass will become smudged by little wet noses and paw-printed. And it’s often at a lower level that you may miss. Regular window cleaning can help to keep your home or business looking its best. 

Frequent bin rotation

Proper bin rotation is essential for maintaining a fresh bin store, especially where pets are present. Cat litter, dog poo bags and small animal bedding will soon build up an odour in your bins. Regular bin emptying and cleaning can help to prevent nasty smells, pests, and the spread of bacteria.

Does this all feel a little daunting? Remember, you don’t have to manage the maintenance of your property by yourself. If you’re a business owner, any maintenance of your premises may be a tax-deductable expense. Contracting a reputable cleaning service is a great way to take care of the animals and humans in your care.
