Pets are a wonderful addition to any home, but for all the love they bring, they often bring just as much mess! 

From hair and dander, to mud, dirt and unpleasant odors, living with pets can mean a lot of extra work, especially if you value cleanliness. But for many pet owners, opting for a weekly cleaning service is the solution to all of their problems. Aside from a little cleaning in between their scheduled visits to keep on top of things, pet owners can relax in a hygienically clean, sweet-smelling home and enjoy the company of their pets, without having to be constantly cleaning up after them. 

Weekly cleaning as a necessity

It’s recommended that you regularly groom your pets (and ideally outside or in a confined space) to keep loose hair and dander to a minimum, and you probably find it necessary to vacuum your floors a couple of times a week to pick up what may have come into your home on their paws, from outside. 

But when it comes to deep cleaning of surfaces and spaces to prevent odors from setting in, and to keep hygiene levels as high as possible, a weekly cleaning service is recommended for all pet owners. Without deep cleaning on a regular basis, allergens can quickly build up that may affect your health, or the health of those living with you, and air quality may also be negatively impacted. 

How pet dander can impact your health and home

For anyone living with respiratory issues or allergies, pet dander can exacerbate symptoms and make their home life quite unpleasant. A weekly cleaning service will focus on creating an environment inside the home in which allergens and dander are minimized, leaving you to breathe more freely, and experience less symptoms such as itchy or runny eyes, sneezing, and coughing. 

Making your home healthy and comfortable for everyone

If you hire a good cleaning service, you’ll find that they come equipped with everything needed to tackle pet-related cleaning chores, which should include a vacuum with HEPA-filter built in – that can pick up even the most microscopic of particles, like dander – and pet-friendly cleaning supplies. 

The techniques they use will ensure that even the smallest corners of your home are free from dust, dirt and dander, and they’ll pay particular attention to spaces in your home that your pets commonly frequent, such as their bed and play areas. 

A personalized, flexible approach to cleaning

Everyone’s pets are different, and when you hire a weekly cleaning service, you’ll find that they usually take time to sit down with you and discuss your needs (not just in relation to your pets, but to the entire home), before any cleaning work commences. This is your opportunity to tell them what you want them to clean, what you don’t want them to clean, and whether there are any other special requirements.   

No pet owner wants to spend all their time cleaning up, and although some vacuuming and surface wiping may be needed daily when you share your home with pets (or every other day), hiring a weekly cleaning service can greatly reduce your workload. 

Giving you the peace of mind that your home is hygienically clean and safe for you, your family, and your pets, have you signed up for a weekly cleaning service yet?
