🐾 Pet-Safe Polish: Essential Tips for Cleaning Your Home Without Harming Your Furry Friends
Share
Hello Conscious Pet Owners and ShimmerHome Customers!
The health of your pets and young children depends on the air they breathe and the surfaces they touch. Many common cleaning products contain strong chemicals (like ammonia, chlorine bleach, or formaldehyde) that can be toxic or irritating to pets due to their lower body weight and tendency to lick surfaces. Cleaning needs to be effective and safe.
1. High-Risk Ingredients to Avoid
When shopping for cleaners, especially floor cleaners where pets walk, avoid products listing:
-
Ammonia: Can irritate respiratory systems.
-
Chlorine Bleach: Extremely hazardous if ingested and causes respiratory distress.
-
Phthalates: Often found in synthetic fragrances, which can affect pet hormones.
2. Choosing Pet-Friendly Solutions
-
Look for: Products explicitly labeled "Pet Safe," "Non-Toxic," or "Plant-Based." These generally rely on gentle, naturally derived ingredients.
-
Ventilate: Always ensure the area is well-ventilated during and after cleaning to dissipate fumes quickly.
-
Rinsing: When cleaning pet bowls or toys, rinse them thoroughly with plain water after using soap to ensure no chemical residue remains.
