Spring is here — and with it comes muddy paw prints, shedding fur, and all the wonderful (and messy) adventures that come with having pets! 🐾 If you're looking for safe, effective ways to refresh your home this season, you're in the right place.

Whether you’re tackling pet messes, daily dirt, or just giving your home a deep seasonal clean, we’ve gathered spring cleaning tips and pet-friendly tricks to keep your space spotless — without exposing your furry friends to harsh chemicals.

1. Focus on Floors

Pets (especially dogs and cats) track a lot of outside debris indoors. Focus your spring-cleaning energy on:

• Daily sweeping or vacuuming to control hair and dirt buildup.
  
  
• Weekly mopping with a safe cleaner like the Lavender Mop Cleaner to lift paw prints, grime, and invisible allergens from floors.
  
  
• Wipe paws at the door with a damp cloth after walks or outdoor playtime to minimize the mess indoors.
  
  

💡 Pro Tip: A consistent floor-cleaning routine not only keeps your home looking great but also helps reduce allergens that can affect both pets and humans!

2. Deep Clean Pet Zones

Spring is the perfect time to give your pet’s favorite spots some extra love:

• Wash pet bedding and plush toys.
  
  
• Wipe down crates, carriers, and feeding areas with an all-purpose cleaner.
  
  
• Freshen up litter boxes, kennels, and backyard pet areas.

3. Freshen the Air — Naturally

Instead of strong chemical air fresheners that can harm pets, try:

• Opening windows to boost natural airflow.
  
  
• Using a DIY baking soda deodorizer on carpets and furniture.
  
  
• Choosing light scents like lavender if you want a natural air-freshener effect while you clean.

4. Choose Pet-Safe, All-Purpose Cleaners

Many traditional cleaning products contain ingredients that can be harmful to animals. Avoid strong essential oils (like lemon, pine, and peppermint) and instead reach for gentle, pet-safe solutions.

We recommend trying:

• Catena-Clean Lavender Mop Cleaner – Safe for mopping floors, cleaning tiles, and refreshing hard surfaces with a light, calming scent.
  
  
• Catena-Clean Rose All-Purpose Cleaner – Perfect for countertops, walls, door handles, and more, leaving behind a soft floral fragrance.
  
  
• Catena-Clean Unscented All-Purpose Cleaner – Ideal if you prefer a completely fragrance-free clean for sensitive pets.
  
  

💡 Pro Tip: These Catena-Clean products aren’t just for bathrooms — they’re truly all-purpose formula works wonders in kitchens, living rooms, mudrooms, and even pet play areas!
