Owning a pet brings endless joy—but it can also bring extra mess and a bit of fur here and there. While our furry friends are worth every bit of extra cleanup, there are some efficient ways to keep your home fresh without breaking a sweat. 

Here are our top cleaning hacks for pet owners to make home care easier and keep your space spotless, fresh, and full of love!

1. Use a Lint Roller for Quick Fur Cleanups

Pet fur has a knack for finding its way onto just about everything. Keeping a lint roller handy in every room makes for quick pick-ups on furniture and clothes. For bigger jobs, try a fabric-specific grooming mitt, which removes fur from furniture and clothing in seconds.

2. Nontre's Pet Odour Eliminator & Deodoriser for Long-Lasting Freshness

While we adore our pets, sometimes we could do without the “unique” aromas they bring. That’s where Nontre’s Pet Odour Eliminator & Deodoriser steps in. Designed specifically for pet owners, it’s a safe, natural way to tackle odours on beds, couches, and rugs. A quick spray not only neutralises unwanted smells but also leaves a light, refreshing scent that lasts. Ideal for use in your pet’s favourite spots, it’s a must-have for a fresh-smelling home.

3. Baking Soda to Refresh Carpets

A sprinkle of baking soda can do wonders on carpets for odour control. Spread a thin layer over your carpet and let it sit for 15–30 minutes before vacuuming. Baking soda absorbs odours naturally, making it a perfect base for fresher-smelling floors.

4. Groom Regularly with a Pet Grooming Mitt

Grooming can be a lifesaver in cutting down on shedding—and it’s a simple trick for reducing fur buildup on furniture. A grooming mitt makes it easy to give your pet a quick brush, capturing loose fur before it lands on the couch. Plus, it’s a bonding moment most pets enjoy!

5. Opt for Washable Fabrics and Slipcovers

Furniture often falls victim to fur, but with washable slipcovers, cleanup is a breeze. You can toss them in the washer regularly to keep your furniture looking pristine. When it comes to bedding, throws, and cushion covers, choose pet-friendly fabrics that can handle frequent washing.

6. Go Natural with Pet-Safe Cleaners

Harsh chemicals aren’t ideal for your pets or your home. Pet-safe, eco-friendly cleaners—like Nontre’s natural range—are a healthier way to clean surfaces. Choose options without strong scents or chemicals that could irritate your pet’s sensitive paws or nose. Pet-safe solutions are perfect for keeping floors and pet-frequented areas spotless.

7. Carpet Hack: Use a Squeegee

A window squeegee is a hidden gem when it comes to lifting fur from carpets. Just run it along your carpet, and you’ll be surprised at how much fur it collects—especially in spots your vacuum may have missed. It’s a low-cost hack that’s surprisingly effective.

8. Keep Microfiber Cloths for Spot Cleaning

Muddy paw prints? Wet nose smudges? Keep a microfiber cloth on hand for spot-cleaning surfaces quickly and gently. These cloths are super absorbent and reusable, making them a pet-friendly alternative to disposable wipes.

9. Wash Pet Bedding Regularly

Pet bedding can be a magnet for dander, fur, and odour. Give it a wash every week (or at least every other week) to keep it fresh and clean. Use a gentle, pet-safe detergent, such as our Non-Irritant Laundry Liquid Concentrate 1L, fragrance free, and safe for pets with sensitive skin, and let it air-dry for added freshness. Spritz it afterward with our 500mL Home & Linen Spray for a natural, fresh scent of Lavender and added benefits of antibacterial protection and bug deterrent!

10. Use a Pet-Safe Air Purifier

If you’re dealing with pet allergies or sensitive airways, an air purifier can make a world of difference. It helps clear pet dander, fur, and other airborne particles, improving indoor air quality. Look for purifiers with HEPA filters, which are known for trapping fine particles.

We’ve all been there—rushing to dry a last-minute outfit or a week’s worth of laundry, only to end up with wrinkled clothes or even shrunken items. While your clothes dryer can be a real time-saver, a few common mistakes could be sabotaging your laundry routine. Here are 10 common clothes dryer mistakes and how to avoid them to keep your wardrobe looking fresh, wrinkle-free, and in great shape.

1. Overloading the Dryer

It may seem like a good idea to cram as many clothes as possible into the dryer, but this can actually be counterproductive. Overloading your dryer reduces airflow, which results in longer drying times and clothes that come out wrinkled. Stick to smaller loads to ensure your clothes have space to tumble and dry properly.

2. Skipping the Lint Trap Clean

One of the most common yet overlooked mistakes is forgetting to clean the lint trap. Lint buildup reduces airflow, making your dryer less efficient and even creating a fire hazard. Make it a habit to clean the lint trap before or after every load to boost efficiency and keep your home safe.

3. Drying Mixed Fabrics Together

Different fabrics dry at different speeds. Tossing delicate fabrics like silk in with heavier items like jeans or towels can lead to shrinkage, fabric damage, or even clothes that come out still damp. Keep similar fabrics together and always check care labels to prevent these issues.

4. Ignoring the Drying Time Settings

Using the same dryer setting for every load? That could be a problem. Over-drying can wear out fabrics, while under-drying leaves clothes damp. Learn your dryer’s settings and adjust them according to your load type—heavier fabrics need more time, while lightweight clothes require less.

5. Neglecting to Clean the Dryer Vent

When was the last time you cleaned your dryer vent? A clogged vent reduces efficiency and may even cause your dryer to overheat. Cleaning your dryer vent every few months can help prevent these issues, keep your dryer running smoothly, and even save energy.

6. Not Checking for Leftover Objects

We’ve all been guilty of forgetting to empty pockets before tossing clothes into the dryer. Leftover items like tissues, coins, or pens can wreak havoc—staining clothes or leaving a mess. Always double-check pockets before drying to avoid unwanted surprises.

7. Not Using Wool Dryer Balls

Avoid tangled sheets and stuck clothes by adding Wool Dryer Balls to your routine. These balls help separate clothes, reducing wrinkles and cutting drying time by absorbing excess moisture. Wool dryer balls are especially handy for mixed loads with varying fabric types and sizes.

8. Leaving Clothes in the Dryer for Too Long

Leaving clothes in the dryer after the cycle ends leads to wrinkles, making clothes harder to fold. Try to remove your clothes as soon as they’re done and give them a quick shake to avoid those pesky creases.

9. Forgetting to Maintain Your Dryer

Routine dryer maintenance is key to keeping it running efficiently. In addition to cleaning the lint trap and vent, check hoses and ducts periodically. An annual inspection can help catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs.

10. Using the Wrong Dryer Settings

Make sure you’re using the right dryer settings for the fabric type. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage delicate fabrics, while lower heat settings are better for items like wool or silk. Always refer to clothing labels for the best drying instructions.

By avoiding these common clothes dryer mistakes, you can extend the life of your dryer, save energy, and keep your clothes looking their best. Want more tips? Check out our viral TikTok here for even more laundry hacks!

Ever noticed how a clean home makes everything feel just a bit brighter? It’s not just your imagination—cleaning can genuinely improve your mood, making you feel more relaxed, focused, and even happier. Let’s dive into why that is, and how incorporating some aromatic goodness into your cleaning routine can take these benefits to the next level.

The Mental Health Benefits of Cleaning

First off, let’s talk about the mental health benefits of cleaning. Whether it’s organising your space, doing the dishes, or giving your home a good deep clean, these activities can provide a substantial boost to your mood. Studies have shown that engaging in regular cleaning routines can reduce stress, anxiety, and even symptoms of depression. The act of cleaning gives you a sense of control and accomplishment—things that are often in short supply when life gets chaotic.

When your space is cluttered, your mind tends to feel the same way. By clearing away the mess, you’re also clearing away mental cobwebs, making room for focus, clarity, and calm. It’s like hitting a reset button for your brain. Plus, there’s something undeniably satisfying about cleaning up a messy space.

Aromatherapy: More Than Just a Pleasant Scent

Now, let’s add another layer to this experience: aromatherapy. The central ethos to nontre is that we believe cleaning should be an enjoyable, sensory experience to be savoured, igniting joy in the mundane, and the premium quality, fragrance and aromatherapy benefits of our products reflect this. Cleaning isn’t just about wiping away dirt—it’s an opportunity to create an environment that soothes your senses and lifts your spirits.

That’s where our Reed Diffuser and Hand Washes come into play. Imagine walking into a room filled with the delicate, uplifting scent of your favourite fragrance. It instantly changes the atmosphere, making the space feel more inviting and peaceful. Reed diffusers are a perfect way to infuse your home with these mood-enhancing aromas, providing a steady release of scent that lingers in the air, gently shifting your mindset each time you step into the room.

Our Hand Washes take this a step further by turning an everyday task into a mini aromatherapy session. The simple act of washing your hands becomes a moment of self-care, as the soothing scents help to calm your mind and body. It’s these small, intentional rituals that can make a big difference in how you feel throughout the day.

The Calming Power of Lavender and Rosemary

Two of the most powerful scents for boosting your mood and reducing stress are lavender and rosemary. These natural wonders have been used for centuries to promote relaxation and mental clarity.

Lavender, with its soft, floral aroma, is well-known for its calming effects. It’s a go-to for those looking to ease tension and anxiety. Our Home & Linen Spray harnesses the power of lavender to create a serene atmosphere in any room. A few spritzes on your linens or in the air before bedtime can help you unwind, setting the stage for a restful night’s sleep.

Rosemary, on the other hand, is an invigorating scent that helps to sharpen your mind and improve concentration. It’s perfect for those moments when you need to clear your head and get things done. The combination of lavender and rosemary in our Home & Linen Spray offers a perfect balance of calm and focus, making it an essential tool for creating a space that supports your wellbeing.

Cleaning as a Mood-Boosting Ritual

Incorporating these products into your cleaning routine transforms it from a chore into a ritual. Each time you clean, you’re not just tidying up—you’re caring for your mental health, setting the tone for a happier, more peaceful environment.

Think of cleaning as a form of mindfulness. As you go through the motions of dusting, wiping, and organising, you’re fully present, focusing on the task at hand. This can be incredibly grounding, helping you to step away from the stresses of the day and reconnect with the present moment.
