Focus on your pet’s favorite places

Clean the floors, rugs, and furniture where your pets spend most of their time. Use tools suitable for each material, and wash removable covers and bedding according to their care labels. Regular attention to these areas helps keep loose hair from spreading.

Handle accidents with the right product

Follow the label on a product appropriate for the surface and the type of mess. Keep animals away while cleaning and until the area is ready to use. Never assume that a pleasant scent means a product is safe for pets, and avoid mixing cleaning chemicals.

Discuss sensitivities before a visit

Let the cleaning team know about allergies, product restrictions, and anything your vet has advised you to avoid. Ask what will be used rather than relying on a general “pet-friendly” claim. Keep pet bowls, food, medication, and toys away from work areas.

Give pets a comfortable place away from cleaning

Plan a secure room or another suitable arrangement for your animals while work is underway. Share instructions about doors and gates, especially if a pet is nervous around unfamiliar people. Discuss extra attention to hair and high-traffic areas when confirming the cleaning scope.
