Pet-Friendly Cleaning: A Practical Guide for Austin Homes
Cleaning around pets means safer products, better hair control, and a cleaner who understands anxious animals. Here's the full playbook.
Products
Plant-based surfactants; no essential-oil-heavy cleaners (many are toxic to cats); hydrogen peroxide for stains; enzyme-based products for accidents.
Hair control
Sealed-bag vacuums; rubber-blade squeegees on rugs and upholstery; frequent lint-rolling of upholstery edges.
Anxious pets
Let us know at booking. We start with quieter tools, move slowly on first visits, and offer to schedule around your pet's routine.
Accidents & odor
Enzyme cleaners break down the source; masking sprays return odors. Blot with paper towels first, then enzyme spray, then let it sit for 10 minutes before wiping.
Frequently asked
+Do you charge extra for pets?
No — we're pet-friendly at no extra charge.
+What about litter boxes?
We wipe the outside and area around litter boxes. Emptying and refilling litter is available as an add-on.
