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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
