5 Cleaning Products Safe for Pets and the Planet

Pet-safe toilet cleaner is a must – especially if your cat or dog has a tendency to take a sip or two from the bowl when you’re not watching. Traditional toilet cleaners use heavy-duty chemicals, while this cleaner by Better Life uses plant-based agents that can get the job done just as well. However, as with all cleaning products, this cleaner is not safe for any kind of ingestion, so make sure to keep the door closed when cleaning and flush well before allowing your pets in the bathroom.

One of the best pet-safe products you can use is also one of the most simple – and the most effective. By itself, baking soda is great for deodorising carpets and upholstery, or you can add it to dish soap or vinegar to create an odour-busting multipurpose spray. Baking soda is even safe enough to add to your cat’s litter box to stop smells at the source.

After a rigorous deep clean, there’s no better feeling than lighting your favourite candle to set the tone in your newly refreshed space. These 100% soy candles by Pet House are the perfect pet-safe choice, which come in a variety of different options, including a spring fragrance line. Pet House candles are free from paraffin waxes, which can be toxic to pets if burned in large quantities.

While regular disposal lint rollers don’t pose a danger to our pets, they do pose a danger to our planet. To keep ours and our pet’s future safe, invest in a reusable lint roller that can be used on both yourself and your home. These metal lint rollers are gentle enough to glide along clothes but durable enough to dig out the pet hair hiding in your carpets and couches.

If you’re someone who lives and dies by a multipurpose cleaner, look no further than this planet- and pet-friendly option by Delphis. Plant-based and vegan-friendly, this cleaner is free from VOCs, chlorine bleaches, solvents and fragrance, all of which can be harmful to your pet.
