How to Keep Your Pets Safe When House Cleaning in Petersfield
If you have pets, you’ll know how quickly they can venture somewhere they shouldn’t and sniff, lick or eat pretty much anything they find.
That’s why it’s so important to follow pet-friendly cleaning processes to ensure your much-loved animals don’t suffer burns, skin irritation or any other unpleasant symptoms.
Not sure how to keep your pets safe when cleaning? Check out some top tips from our house cleaners in Petersfield to get in the know…
Opt for pet-safe cleaning products
First and foremost, it’s important to check whether the products you’re using to keep your house clean are safe for animals if accidentally consumed.
Choose cleaning products labelled as non-toxic and safe for pets, avoiding chemicals like ammonia or bleach. These ingredients can be harmful to children and adults as well, so it’s well worth trying to find suitable alternatives that won’t be poisonous.
Keep temptation out of reach
It’s crucial to store your cleaning supplies safely. Keep things like sprays, wipes, bleach, floor cleaners and detergents out of pets’ reach. That also means ensuring the toilet seat stays down so they don’t drink from it after cleaning!
It might also be easier to just keep your pets locked out of the room whilst you’re cleaning. Otherwise, if you can’t keep your eye on them constantly, you might miss it if they consume something potentially poisonous. Plus, it’ll stop them barking at the mop or the hoover…
Practice good habits
When you’ve completed your house cleaning tasks, make sure you also wipe down all surfaces that have been exposed to cleaning products to remove any remaining residue.
You must also wash all cleaning equipment like mop buckets thoroughly to remove any chemicals that might be lingering and minimise the chances of your pets ingesting something toxic.
Open doors and windows
Ventilation is key. Open all the doors and windows in a room once you’ve finished cleaning it, and consider using a fan to direct air outwards to speed up the process. This is especially important if you’re using airborne products like sprays, as these can linger in the air and be inhaled by people or animals alike.
There you have it! By following these simple tips from our Petersfield home cleaning experts, you can ensure your living spaces are clean and safe for your whole family.
