Having pets makes life fuller but it also makes your home messier. Between shedding, odors, paw prints, and unexpected “surprises,” it can feel impossible to keep a clean home while juggling everyday life. As a trusted Edmonton cleaning service, Nice To Be Clean helps hundreds of local pet owners maintain clean, fresh, healthy homes without stress.
This guide walks you through practical, pet-owner-friendly cleaning tips, including how to control fur, remove pet odors, keep floors spotless, and protect your air quality. You’ll also learn when professional help makes the biggest difference especially during Edmonton’s long winter months when pets spend more time indoors.
Pets bring joy, but they also bring:
Dogs and cats shed year-round, especially breeds common in Alberta like Huskies, Shepherds, and Retrievers.
Pet beds, carpets, couches, and fabrics absorb smells easily.
Edmonton’s snow, mud, slush, and spring runoff lead to messy floors.
Even hypoallergenic pets still produce allergens that build up on surfaces and in the air.
A few small habits can eliminate 70% of pet hair in your home:
-Brush your pets daily (reduces shedding more than vacuuming)
-Use a damp rubber glove to pull hair off couches instantly
-Keep lint rollers in high-traffic areas
Pro Tip: Use HEPA-filtered vacuums — essential for Edmonton winters when windows stay shut and air circulation is low.
Smells cling to fabrics, so target areas like:
-Pet beds
-Carpets & area rugs
-Sofas & upholstered chairs
-Curtains
Use this natural deodorizing method:
-Sprinkle baking soda
-Let sit overnight
-Vacuum thoroughly
For strong odors, Nice To Be Clean’s deep cleaning service includes enzyme-based odor removal safe for pets.
Edmonton’s weather brings mud in spring, dust in summer, and slush in winter.
Keep floors clean by:
-Placing an absorbent mat at every entrance
-Keeping a “paw towel” near the door
-Cleaning paws after every walk
For hardwood or luxury vinyl tile, use pet-safe, streak-free cleaners to avoid residue buildup.
This includes:
-BedsBlankets
-Collars
-Plush toys
-Crate pads
Bacteria builds fast, especially if your pet sleeps on your furniture or bed.
This helps remove:
-Dander-Hair
-Allergens
-Dust mites
-Fine particles
A HEPA vacuum dramatically improves indoor air quality.
Avoid products with:
-Ammonia
-Bleach
-Harsh synthetic fragrances
Good alternatives:
-Enzyme cleaners
-Plant-based cleaners
-Vinegar & diluted solutions
Health Canada recommends choosing pet-safe cleaners to reduce respiratory irritation.
For cat owners:
-Scoop daily
-Replace litter weekly
-Wipe down the box
-Use a mat to trap litter
For dogs:
-Clean crate weekly
-Wash dog blankets regularly
-Vacuum dog beds
