Pets bring us endless joy, but they also bring a little mess. From accidents on the carpet to stubborn pet hair, every pet parent knows that cleaning is part of the deal. The good news is that you can tackle these messes safely and effectively without harsh chemicals by using eco friendly cleaning solutions made with Mint products.
Here is your go to guide for keeping your home clean and fresh while making sure your furry friends stay safe.
Why Choose Eco Friendly Cleaning for Pets
Traditional cleaners often contain chemicals that can irritate sensitive noses, skin, and paws. Using non toxic and biodegradable products means you can clean up after your pets with peace of mind. At Mint Cleaning Products, our formulas are tough on dirt and odours but gentle on your home, the planet, and your pets.
Cleaning Up Common Pet Messes
Urine Accidents
Accidents happen, especially with puppies or older pets. Here is how to handle them:
-
Pat the area dry with a rag or paper towel.
-
Spray the spot with the DIY Pet Accident Spray recipe below.
-
Scrub gently with a brush and pat dry again.
-
Finish by sprinkling Mint Deodorizer or baking soda over the area. Let it sit for 1 to 4 hours, then vacuum.
This not only lifts stains but also neutralizes odours so your pet is not tempted to revisit the same spot.
DIY Pet Accident Spray
This quick homemade cleaner works well for fresh accidents and also helps deodorize.
Ingredients
-
1 cup water
-
1 cup white vinegar
-
1 tablespoon Mint Dish Soap
Directions
-
Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle.
-
Shake gently before each use.
-
Spray directly on the affected area and scrub with a brush.
-
Pat dry with a clean cloth.
For extra freshness, follow with Mint Deodorizer once the area has dried.
Feces
-
Pick up as much as possible with paper towels.
-
Spray the area with the DIY Pet Accident Spray, scrub with a brush, and pat dry.
-
Sprinkle with Mint Deodorizer or baking soda. Let it sit for 1 to 4 hours, then vacuum.
Pro Tip: Always blot instead of rubbing to avoid spreading the mess deeper into carpets or upholstery.
Vomit
-
Scoop up as much as possible using a paper towel or spatula.
-
Spray the area with the DIY Pet Accident Spray, scrub in circles, and blot dry.
-
Deodorize with Mint Deodorizer or baking soda. Allow it to sit, then vacuum thoroughly.
Litter Box Odours
Keep the litter box smelling fresh the natural way:
-
Add baking soda to the litter box to control odours.
-
Clean regularly using the DIY Pet Accident Spray, then add fresh litter.
Pet Hair
Forget sticky rollers. A simple shower squeegee works wonders for scraping stubborn hair off furniture and carpets. For a finishing touch, sprinkle a little Mint Deodorizer on carpets before vacuuming to freshen the space.
Bonus: Bed Wetting Mishaps
If your pet has an accident on the bed:
-
Strip the bedding and pat dry the mattress.
-
Spray with Mint Glass Cleaner (yes, it also works as a mattress cleaner) or use our DIY Mattress Cleaner.
-
Wipe with a damp cloth.
-
Deodorize with Mint Deodorizer or baking soda and let it sit before vacuuming.
-
Launder bedding with Mint Laundry Booster and Fabric Softener.
Your bed will be fresh, clean, and ready for cuddles again.
Safe and Effective Cleaning with Pets in Mind
When using any cleaning products:
-
Always keep bottles out of reach of pets.
-
Use products as directed. Diluted essential oils in Mint products are safe when used correctly.
-
Do not diffuse essential oils in closed rooms with pets. Always ensure good ventilation.
