We love our pets—muddy paws, nose smudges, drool trails and all. But let’s be honest: keeping your home clean with pets around is no small feat. Whether you’re dealing with a constantly shedding Labrador, a curious kitten with a knack for knocking over water bowls, or a muddy-footed bunny, cleaning becomes a daily (if not hourly) adventure.
The good news? You can have a clean home and happy pets. It just takes the right tools, a few simple strategies, and a mindset that embraces the mess (at least a little bit).
Here are our favourite tips for keeping your home tidy and pet-friendly—plus one little cleaning tool that’s a total lifesaver for pet parents.
1. Clean with your furry friend in mind
Let’s start with the obvious: not all cleaners are created equal. Many common cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that aren’t great for anyone—especially your pets, who spend most of their lives close to the floor (and sometimes licking it).
That’s where CLEANERTABS Basic Cleaning Bundle come in. It includes two reusable aluminium spray bottles, glass cleaning sheets, multi-purpose tablets, and a pack of cleaning cloths. Just pop the tablets or sheets into the bottles, grab a microfibre cloth, and you’ve got a reliable cleaning setup for everything from slobbery windows to suspicious paw prints on the tiles. Safe and eco-friendly!
2. Groom now, thank yourself later
One of the best ways to keep your home clean? Start with your pet. Regular grooming dramatically reduces shedding, dander, and the dreaded fur tumbleweeds. Plus, brushing time doubles as quality bonding time (and most pets love it once they get used to it).
And if your pet still sheds like crazy despite your best efforts, try this trick: run a squeegee across your carpets or rugs. It’s oddly satisfying and surprisingly effective at lifting embedded pet hair.
3. Create a cleaning station for muddy paws
Rainy day walk? Garden digging session? Beach adventure? Muddy paws can do serious damage to clean floors. Set up a designated paw-cleaning station by your front or back door with a towel, pet wipes, and a non-slip mat.
And for those inevitable prints that still make it inside…
4. Meet your new best friend: the Mini Mop
Say hello to your quick-clean lifesaver: the Mini Mop.
This compact, lightweight mop is a must-have for pet parents. It’s perfect for tackling everyday pet messes—like water bowl spills, muddy paw tracks, food dribbles, and mystery splats. Its flat head gets into tight corners and under furniture (where fur likes to hide), and its mop heads are reusable and super absorbent.
Basically, it’s the tool you never knew you needed until you realise you’re using it every single day.
5. Protect high-mess zones with nanocoat
Some surfaces take a beating from our pets—especially bathrooms and laundry areas where you might wash them. Applying a tile and grout nanocoat creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels water, fur, and grime, making cleaning easier and reducing long-term wear.
Plus, less scrubbing = more time for belly rubs.
A clean home and a happy pet? Yes please.
The truth is, pet mess is just part of the package—and we wouldn’t trade it for the world. But with a few smart strategies and pet-safe cleaning products, you can keep your space fresh, safe, and totally snuggle-ready.
And when in doubt? Grab the Mini Mop.
Because if your pets are going to rule the house (and let’s be honest, they do), at least it’ll be a clean one.
