If you’re a pet parent, you’ve probably asked, yourself this question at least once: What cleaners can I use at home that are safe for pets? After all, our four-legged family members spend a lot of time on the floor - playing, snoozing, and on crumb duty. If you haven’t thought about using non-toxic cleaning products with pets in the house, you definitely should.
The good news? Finding a pet friendly cleaning product that works and gives you peace of mind isn't as hard as it used to be. In fact, it’s gotten a whole lot easier thanks to the rise of non-toxic, plant-based cleaning products.
The Hidden Dangers in Traditional Cleaners
Conventional cleaners may do a great job of cutting through grease and grime, but they often come with a long list of ingredients that can be harmful to pets (and you!). Many contain ammonia, bleach, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals that can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, or even more serious problems if licked or inhaled by your furry friend.
Cats, dogs, and other small animals are especially vulnerable because their bodies are much smaller, and they’re constantly in contact with floors and surfaces. That’s why making the switch to animal friendly floor cleaners is a smart move…not just for your pets, but for your whole family!
So, What Products Are Safe for Pets?
The safest options are those made from plant-based cleaning products. These cleaners use naturally derived from ingredients that clean effectively without the use of harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances. When shopping for pet friendly cleaners, check the label for things like:
- No synthetic fragrances or dyes
- Non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients
- No ammonia, bleach, or harsh solvents
- pH-balanced and residue-free formulas
Hyve’s probiotic household cleaner is a great example of a safe, effective option. It’s made with powerful natural ingredients like probiotics, essential oils, and plant-based surfactants. Not only is it safe for your pets, but it also continues to clean long after you’ve put the bottle away - thanks to the beneficial bacteria that keep working on grime and odor!
Why Plant Based Cleaning Products Are the Way to Go
We’re all looking for safer, healthier ways to clean our homes and plant-based cleaning products are leading the charge. They’re gentle on pets, people, and the planet. And unlike some harsh chemical cleaners that only mask odors, products like Hyve tackle them at the source with the help of good bacteria and keep the cleaning going for up to five days.
Plus, they’re super versatile. You can use them on tile, laminate, hardwood or crate areas without worrying about harmful residue. That means more tail wags and a long, healthy life.
Bottom Line: Clean Homes Can Be Pet Safe, Too
You don’t have to choose between a clean home and your pet’s health. With today’s options, you can easily find an animal friendly household cleaner that does both. Look for simple, transparent ingredient lists, avoid the toxic stuff, and go for plant-based cleaning products that support a healthier environment for everyone under your roof.
Hyve was made with families in mind (and that includes the furry ones). So next time you’re mopping the floors or wiping up paw prints, you can feel confident knowing your cleaner is as safe as it is effective.
