Why Pet Friendly Cleaning Matters To Us

People sometimes ask why “pet-friendly” is such a big part of what we do at The Clean Life.
The answer is simple: because pets are family.
I have two Siberian show cats – an absolute queen in fluff and personality. They are indoor cats, so my home is their whole world. When I’m not there, I need to know they’re safe, calm, and cared for.

And I know I’m not alone in that. It’s the same for so many of our clients.
When I used to clean homes myself, I’d often be there while families were out at work or school. I’d notice pets curled up in the sun, waiting by the window, keeping quiet company in their own little ways. And I could never walk past without stopping to check in – offering fresh water, refilling their bowls, or just sitting down to say hello.
Honestly? It became one of the best parts of my day.
Sometimes, they’d follow me around like little supervisors. Each with their own quirks. Their own rhythms. Their own quiet way of saying, “You’re in my home now – do a good job.”
And so we built it into the way we clean – and the way we care:
✅ Check water and food bowls
✅ Make sure pets are safe, calm, and comfortable
✅ Use low-tox, pet-safe products for sensitive noses and paws
✅ Move gently, especially around shy or nervous animals
Because we’re not just here to clean your house.
We’re here to care for your home – and everyone in it.
– Beckii (Founder of the Clean Life)

At The Clean Life, being pet-friendly isn’t just a tagline.
It’s our point of difference.
Other cleaning companies might overlook your pets, or even ask you to secure them away during visits. But we welcome them into our care, just like we do your home.

This is our unique service promise:
- We clean with heart. That means being mindful of your pets – not just the mess.
- We use only low-tox products that are safer for sensitive noses, skin, and tummies.
- We move with care around toys, beds, and food areas – because their comfort matters.
- We pay attention. If something’s off – like an empty water bowl or a nervous pup – we’ll do what we can to help.
In an industry that often moves fast and overlooks the details, we choose intention.
In a world full of “surface cleans,” we choose connection.
Because we know your trust doesn’t just cover your countertops –
It covers the beings you love most. And we never, ever take that lightly.

Our clients aren’t just impressed by the shine.
They feel the care – and so do their pets.
“Great work. They gave my dog, Daisy, a lot of attention and made sure she was ok as she gets nervous about the vacuum.” – Ailsa G.
“Thank you lovely ladies for doing a great job and putting up with the dogs. It was a pleasure to have you in my home. Quick, efficient, great clean, worked well around me and my dogs.” – Julie C.
“I came home to a beautiful, sparkling clean house with everything in its place. The house also smelt lovely. It put a big smile on my face 🙂 The whole house was clean from top to bottom. Nothing had been missed. Attention to detail is fantastic. Even the dog toys had been lined up on the dog beds. I would love these 2 girls to do my clean every time. They are absolutely fabulous at their jobs. Thank you so much.” – Belinda M.
“She was amazing !! Super sweet and managed to make my home spotless after weeks of no cleaning. Super impressed and happy and she was a sweetheart. The dogs loved her too. Floors were immaculate! Bed was beautifully made. Bathroom is spotless and she even unpacked the dishwasher 🙂 very happy.” – Astrid D.

These might sound like small things – but for pet owners, they’re everything.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about letting a cleaner into your pet-filled home…
If you’ve ever worried about how they’d react…
You’re not alone.
Here are some signs your pet might benefit from a pet-friendly clean:
- Sneezing, itching, or reacting after a clean
- Hiding when the vacuum comes out
- Nervousness when strangers enter
- You worry about what’s in traditional sprays
We get it. Truly.
And that’s exactly why we do things differently.
Our team is trained to move with calm confidence, to take cues from your pet, and to clean with products that are safe, gentle, and kind. Because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s.


These are our pets – the ones who greet us at the door after a long day of caring for yours.
They remind us what it means to love unconditionally, to protect, and to show up with gentleness.
So when we say we understand how much your pets mean to you, we truly, deeply do.
They’re never “just animals.”
They’re family.
They’re comfort.
They’re home.
We’ve seen firsthand how much emotional support pets can bring. One of our own team members has an emotional support dog who helps her through episodes of depression. This beautiful pup is always there – quietly beside her, a steady presence on the hard days. That kind of support? It’s irreplaceable. And it’s one of the many reasons we take pet-friendly cleaning so seriously.
That’s why we only use gentle, safe, low-tox products.
We clean with compassion. We clean with care.
And yes – if your pet’s up for it – we’re always happy to share a cuddle or two.
Because we’re not just here to clean –
We’re here to care.
For your space, your peace of mind, and every little life within your walls.
