If you share your home with a cat or dog, you already know: our pets touch, sleep on, and explore every surface of our home. And that’s why more pet parents are turning to non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning in Edmonton- because keeping their home clean shouldn’t come at the cost of their pet’s health.

And when it comes to choosing products, there’s one concern that rises above everything else:

Avoiding Hidden Chemicals That Can Make Pets Sick

Most pet parents worry about accidental chemical exposure- and for good reason. Dogs lick floors, cats groom their paws, and both breathe in whatever is sprayed in the air or left on surfaces. What we use to clean our homes ends up inside their bodies, even if we don’t realize it.

Why Chemical Exposure Is the Biggest Worry

Traditional cleaners still contain ingredients that are linked to:

• Skin irritation, itching, and rashes
• Sneezing, wheezing, or chronic coughing
• Upset stomach from licking residue
• Allergies triggered by artificial fragrances
• Long-term exposure concerns

Pets can’t avoid these hazards on their own- and they can’t tell us when something feels “off.”

That’s why choosing natural, non-toxic cleaners isn’t just a lifestyle choice; instead, it’s a health decision for the furry family members who spend the most time on your floors. In fact, these gentle products help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, and as a result, they create a safer, more comfortable space for your pets.

Pets Are Constant Contact Creatures

Cats and dogs live closer to the ground than we do, so their daily habits make them far more vulnerable to hidden toxins.

• They walk on every surface , so everything on your floors ends up on their paws… and then in their mouths.
• They sniff everything, allowing any strong artificial fragrances and fumes irritate their sensitive lungs.
• They groom themselves, and any residue left behind- on bedding, couches, or floors gets ingested.
• They can’t read labels, so pets rely on us to choose products that genuinely keep them safe.

Greenwashing Makes It Harder for Pet Parents

Labels like “natural,” “eco,” or “green” don’t always tell the truth because unfortunately many still contain:

• Synthetic fragrances
• Harsh surfactants
• Preservatives
• Known irritants
• Pet-toxic essential oils (yes- many “natural” ones are dangerous for cats and dogs)

Pet parents want clarity, reassurance, and cleaning products that are safe enough for a pet to walk on the moment the job is done- and that’s why pet-safe cleaning in Edmonton matters.

Pet-Safe Cleaning Tips & Recipes

• All-Purpose Castile Soap Cleaner
  • Recipe: 1 L water + ¼ cup Castile soap (unscented is best for pet households).
  • Uses: Sinks, toilets, tubs, windows, stove-top.
  • ✨Pro-Tips:
    • Never mix Castile soap with vinegar- they cancel each other out, the soap becomes unsaponified, and it creates a cloudy residue.
    • For tough stains, combine Castile soap with baking soda to make a scrub.
• Pet-Safe Floor Cleaning
  • You can simply use hot water and a well-wrung microfiber flat mop as it’s effective, gentle, and non-irritating for pets.
  • Additionally, you can use a Castile Soap solution (2 ½ Tbsp. Castile soap in 4L hot water) on your floors, including wood, laminate and stone, but avoid excessive water by wringing out a microfiber flat mop until damp.
  • ✨Pro-Tip: Always towel-dry your floors after mopping to remove excess water, as well as any leftover dirt and cleaning solution residue. Trust us…they will look and feel cleaner!
• Countertop Cleaner
  • Easy-peasy, cheap and non-greasy! Wipe countertops with hot water and a microfiber cloth, in addition to your favorite all-natural, fragrance-free, parfum-free dish soap.
• Dusting Solution
  • Skip the polish- just use a lightly dampened microfiber cloth to trap dust without chemicals.
