Is Your Floor Cleaner Safe for Pets? A Guide for Dog and Cat Owners
At Dr. Schutz, we know your home isn’t just where you live, it’s where your pets play, sleep, and explore. That’s why we believe floor care should never come at the cost of their health or safety. More and more pet owners are asking the question: “Is my floor cleaner safe for pets?” And we’re here to help answer it.
As leaders in safe, effective floor care solutions, we’ve developed a range of pet safe floor cleaners designed specifically with your furry family members in mind. Whether you’ve got a playful pup or a curious cat, our products help you maintain a spotless, hygienic home without exposing your pets to harsh chemicals.
Why Pet Owners Should Think Twice About Traditional Floor Cleaners
Traditional cleaning products might leave your floors sparkling, but many contain ingredients that are anything but friendly for pets. Chemical residues left behind on floors can be absorbed through paw pads or ingested when pets groom themselves.
Common household cleaners often contain:
- Ammonia – can cause irritation to eyes and mucous membranes
- Bleach – a strong irritant that may cause respiratory distress
- Phenols – can be toxic if ingested or come into contact with the skin
At Dr. Schutz, we believe you shouldn’t have to compromise on cleanliness to keep your pets safe. That’s why our floor cleaners are carefully formulated to clean powerfully, yet gently providing peace of mind to pet owners across the UK.
What Makes a Floor Cleaner “Pet Safe”?
A truly pet safe floor cleaner should meet three key criteria:
-
Non-toxic, residue-free ingredients
- Your pets are in direct contact with your floors, so it’s vital that no harmful chemicals remain once cleaning is complete.
-
Odour-neutral
- Strong chemical smells can stress animals or trigger respiratory issues. Our cleaners are designed to neutralise odours without overwhelming your pets’ sensitive noses.
-
Safe for all flooring types
- From LVT to carpet, a reliable pet-safe cleaner should protect both your floors and your pets, something our formulations have been doing for decades.
