Pet Owners’ Toronto Cleaning Guide: Keep Your Home Spotless with Pets
Owning a pet in Toronto is a joy—but it comes with a few cleaning challenges. From shedding fur to muddy paws, pet messes can quickly take over your home. At Midtown Maids, we know the struggle, and we’re here to help you keep your Toronto home clean, fresh, and pet-friendly.
1. Control Pet Hair Before It Takes Over
Pet hair spreads fast—but with a few easy habits, you can keep it under control:
Vacuum regularly: Aim for 2–3 times per week. A vacuum with a HEPA filter traps pet dander and fine hair.
Use lint rollers and pet brushes: Quick fixes for furniture, clothing, and car seats.
Groom your pets: Brushing reduces shedding and keeps fur off your floors and furniture.
2. Say Goodbye to Pet Odors
Pets can leave lingering smells—but you don’t have to live with them. Try these tips:
Wash pet bedding weekly: Keeps your home smelling fresh.
Ventilate your space: Open windows during Toronto’s warmer months for natural airflow.
Use natural deodorizers: Sprinkle baking soda on carpets or rugs, then vacuum.
3. Clean Accidents Quickly
Accidents happen. The faster you act, the easier it is to prevent stains and smells:
Blot, don’t rub: Absorb liquids with paper towels or a clean cloth.
Use enzyme cleaners: Breaks down organic messes better than standard cleaning products.
Protect key areas: Place washable mats near litter boxes or feeding spots.
4. Protect Floors and Furniture
Toronto homes often have hardwood, tile, or carpet. Keep them pet-friendly:
Use rugs and runners: Washable rugs in high-traffic areas save time.
Furniture covers: Protect sofas and chairs from fur and stains.
Deep clean periodically: Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning every 6–12 months keeps surfaces fresh.
5. Build a Weekly Cleaning Routine
Consistency is key to a pet-friendly home:
Daily: Sweep or vacuum high-traffic areas, wipe down food bowls.
Weekly: Mop floors, clean litter boxes, wash pet bedding.
Monthly: Deep clean carpets, furniture, and pet toys.d
