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.
