As pet owners, we all know the joys of sharing our homes with our furry companions. They bring comfort, companionship, and unconditional love, but they also come with a bit of mess—fur on the couch, the occasional spill, and that persistent pet odour. At Averdant, we believe that keeping your home clean and safe for your pets shouldn't come at the expense of their well-being or the environment. Our natural, sustainable cleaning products are designed with the health of your entire household in mind—pets, children, and adults alike.
Here’s how to maintain a fresh, clean home that is both pet-friendly and environmentally responsible.
Choose Safe, Non-Toxic Cleaning Products
Pets are more sensitive to chemicals than humans, which makes it essential to select cleaning products that are free from harmful ingredients. Many conventional household cleaners contain toxic chemicals like ammonia, bleach, and phthalates that can irritate your pet's skin, respiratory system, or even cause long-term health problems.
Averdant’s products are different. Our formulations are free from chemicals, toxins, and artificial ingredients, making them safe for both pets and people. Our Ultra-Sensitive Laundry Liquid and Fabric Softener are specifically designed for sensitive skin and are perfect for washing pet bedding, blankets, and towels. By eliminating harsh chemicals, you protect your pet’s delicate skin from irritation while keeping their favourite resting spots fresh and clean.
Sanitise Pet Bedding and Upholstery Naturally
Pet bedding, couches, and carpets can easily become hotspots for pet odours, dander, and bacteria. Regular cleaning is essential, but you don’t have to rely on harsh chemical sprays to eliminate odours and germs. Instead, natural cleaning solutions can sanitise surfaces while leaving behind a pleasant, non-irritating scent.
Averdant’s Aromatherapy Spray in Eucalyptus & Mint or Lavender & Sweet Orange is an ideal choice for pet owners. Not only does it neutralise pet odours, but it also provides a calming natural scent, creating a soothing environment for your pets. Both of these essential oil blends have antimicrobial properties that sanitise surfaces without harmful residues. Plus, the relaxing aroma helps settle anxious pets, making it a win-win for your household.
Clean Pet Messes Quickly and Gently
Accidents happen, especially if you have a puppy or senior pet. Cleaning up pet messes—whether it’s muddy paw prints or an indoor accident—requires prompt action to prevent stains and odours from setting in. However, using chemical-laden stain removers and deodorisers can do more harm than good.
At Averdant, we recommend natural solutions for dealing with pet-related spills. Our multi-functional cleaner can be used on hard surfaces to disinfect and freshen the area after cleanup, ensuring a complete, toxin-free clean.
Control Pet Hair with Regular Grooming and Cleaning
Pet hair can seem like it’s everywhere—on your clothes, your furniture, and even floating through the air. Regular grooming is one of the best ways to reduce shedding and control hair accumulation in your home. Brushing your pet outside or in a designated grooming area helps remove loose fur before it ends up on your furniture.
However, even with regular grooming, pet hair will still find its way into your home. Cleaning fabrics, including upholstery and carpets, can be challenging when pet hair is involved. Our Ultra-Sensitive Laundry Liquid is designed to effectively clean fabrics during the wash cycle, leaving blankets, towels, and bedding soft and hair-free. This gentle formula ensures that even the most sensitive fabrics are protected from damage while staying fresh and clean.
Air Purifying and Odor Control
Even the cleanest homes can sometimes develop a "pet smell." This is especially true if you have multiple pets, live in a smaller space, or don’t have great ventilation. Instead of using air fresheners filled with chemicals, choose natural alternatives that don’t mask odours but eliminate them safely, ensuring your home has clean, healthy air.
Averdant’s Lavender & Sweet Orange Aromatherapy Spray is perfect for neutralising pet odours naturally. Lavender is known for its calming effects, which can be beneficial for nervous pets, while sweet orange offers a fresh, citrusy scent that uplifts your space. Spray it on pet bedding, in the air, or directly on your furniture to keep your home smelling clean and fresh without worrying about harsh chemicals.
For ongoing air purification, houseplants like spider plants, bamboo palm, and Boston ferns are excellent at filtering indoor air, and they’re safe for pets too! Just make sure you research which plants are pet-friendly before adding them to your space.
Safe Solutions for Cleaning Pet Toys
Pet toys are constantly being chewed, licked, and dragged around the house, which means they’re often teeming with bacteria and germs. Many pet owners don’t think about cleaning their pet’s toys regularly, but it’s an important part of maintaining a healthy, clean home.
To clean hard rubber or plastic toys, you can soak them in a solution of warm water and our flavourless, non-toxic fruit and vegetable wash, then scrub with a brush to remove dirt and grime. Soft toys can be tossed into the washing machine using Averdant’s Ultra-Sensitive Laundry Liquid to remove any dirt or odours safely. This formula is gentle enough for your pet's favourite plush toys, ensuring they’re clean without any residual chemicals that could harm your pet.
Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitiser for Walks and Outdoor Activities
Whether you’re taking your dog for a walk, playing fetch at the park, or visiting the dog beach, keeping your hands clean while out and about is important. Traditional hand sanitisers often contain alcohol, which can dry out your skin and leave your hands irritated, especially with frequent use.
Averdant’s Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitiser is an excellent alternative. It’s gentle on the skin, yet highly effective at sanitising hands. Made with natural ingredients, it leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised rather than dry and cracked. Plus, it’s portable enough to take with you on walks, allowing you to clean your hands quickly and easily after petting your dog or cleaning up messes.
Keep Floors Clean and Safe
Pets love to run, jump, and explore every corner of the house, which means your floors are constantly exposed to dirt, fur, and the occasional mess. Many floor cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to pets, especially if they’re walking or lying on the floor immediately after cleaning.
Instead of using chemical cleaners, try natural alternatives like plant-based cleaners. Our gentle, non-toxic formulas ensure that floors stay clean without leaving behind harmful residues that your pets can ingest or absorb through their paws.
