At Paula’s Cleaning Services, we understand that pets are family. Every product we bring into your home is chosen with your dogs, cats, and other animals in mind — plant-based, non-toxic, and proven safe when used as directed. No harsh fumes. No chemical residue on the floors where your pets walk, play, and sleep.
Why Pet-Safe Cleaning Products Matter
Pets spend far more time at floor level than we do. Dogs and cats walk across freshly cleaned surfaces and then groom themselves — which means chemical residue on the floor ends up in their bodies. Traditional cleaning products often contain ammonia, bleach, glycol ethers, and synthetic fragrances that can irritate a pet’s respiratory system, skin, and digestive tract.
We’ve made a deliberate choice to use products that are effective without putting your animals at risk.
What We Use
- Plant-based, biodegradable all-purpose cleaners
- EPA Safer Choice-certified products where available
- No bleach, ammonia, or phthalates
- Low-fragrance or fragrance-free formulas available on request
- High-quality microfiber cloths that reduce chemical use by up to 99%
- HEPA-filter vacuums that capture pet dander, hair, and allergens
We Handle Pet Hair Thoroughly
Pet hair gets everywhere — upholstery, stairs, corners, under furniture. Our team is trained to work in homes with pets and brings the right tools to handle it. HEPA vacuums capture fine dander, and our microfiber cloths trap and remove hair from surfaces that standard cloths miss.
Before Your Cleaning Visit
We recommend securing your pets in a comfortable area during the cleaning. Most pets do just fine once our team is in a routine with your home; many clients find their pets eventually ignore the visit entirely. If your pet has specific needs or anxieties, just let us know when you book — we’re happy to accommodate.
Allergy-Friendly Too
Pet dander is one of the most common indoor allergens. Our HEPA vacuum system and pet-hair-specific techniques significantly reduce dander levels in your home — a real benefit for family members with pet allergies or asthma.
