Pet Owner’s Guide to Keeping a Home Fresh and Clean

Pets bring so much joy, companionship, and unconditional love—but let’s face it, they can also bring fur, odors, and a little extra mess into our homes. At Cleanful, we know that being a pet parent shouldn’t mean sacrificing a fresh and clean living space.

Whether you have a shedding pup, a curious cat, or a cage of feathery or furry friends, here are our top tips to keep your home clean, odor-free, and cozy—for both you and your pets.

1. Create a Pet Cleaning Station

Designate a small area near your entryway with wipes, towels, and a gentle pet-safe cleaner. Wipe down paws after walks or outdoor play to reduce dirt and allergens being tracked inside.

2. Brush Regularly to Reduce Shedding

Consistent grooming is your first defense against fur buildup. Brushing your pets outdoors or in an easy-to-clean area keeps hair off your floors, furniture, and clothes. Bonus: it’s a great bonding moment for you and your furry friend!

3. Vacuum Like a Pro

Invest in a vacuum designed for homes with pets. These models are equipped to handle dander and fur with stronger suction and specialized filters. Aim to vacuum at least 2–3 times a week, especially in your pet’s favorite hangout spots.

4. Neutralize Pet Odors Naturally

Avoid masking pet odors with heavy sprays. Instead, try baking soda on carpets before vacuuming, use an air purifier, or simmer a pot of lemon slices, rosemary, and water for a natural scent boost. Keep litter boxes and pet beds clean and fresh with frequent washing.

5. Protect Furniture and Flooring

Use washable covers on sofas or pet-friendly throws to guard against fur and accidents. For hardwood or tile floors, area rugs with rubber backing can protect from scratches and be easily cleaned.

6. Keep Toys and Bowls Clean

Pet toys and food bowls can harbor bacteria and odors. Wash them weekly with hot water and pet-safe soap. Rotate and inspect toys regularly to prevent clutter and maintain hygiene.

7. Schedule Regular Cleanings with Cleanful
