Whether you’re moving out of a rental property with pets and need to leave the place looking (and smelling!) as you found it so that you can secure your deposit, or are selling your home and don’t want prospective buyers to be deterred by signs or smells of pets, cleaning a home with animals presents several different challenges.
Hair, dander, smells, scratches, and stains need to be addressed appropriately when cleaning a property, especially if it must be left spotless for landlords or new buyers, and the best way to do this is by hiring a professional cleaning company.
How do professional cleaning services tackle pet-cleaning issues?
To leave not a hair behind, a hint of odor, or even the merest sign of a stain left in the wake of pets, professional cleaners will use specialist equipment, tools, products and techniques.
Let’s look at some common pet issues within the home, and see how a home-cleaning service would tackle them:
- Pet hair and dander
Pet hair and dander can accumulate quickly when you share a home with pets, and even if you vacuum on a daily basis, without intensive, professional cleaning, some mess will always remain.
Professional cleaners will use a specialist vacuum cleaner with appropriate filters and attachments to eliminate every last trace of hair and dander from floors, furniture, drapes, and every other surface in the home.
- Odor
Even if you regularly bathe and groom your pets, there will inevitably be some traces of odor left behind in a home, especially in carpets, rugs, and upholstery.
To erase these odors completely, professional cleaners will use specialist deodorizing treatments that are pet-safe, along with industrial-grade tools and equipment, that get to the root of the smell, instead of simply masking it.
- Stains
Toilet accidents in the home are an unavoidable part of pet ownership, but without the right products and techniques to get rid of them, what’s left behind can linger for days, if not weeks and months. You might even get to a point where you don’t smell it anymore, but someone walking into your home for the first time, will definitely detect it.
Professional cleaners will have the right products and know-how to remove all manner of pet stains, no matter how stinky or unsightly they may be, and all without damaging any of the surfaces in the home.
How a home cleaning service can benefit pet-owners
No doubt you clean up after your pet when they’ve made a mess (which they almost certainly will!), but cleaning up after them thoroughly enough to eliminate all traces of stains or odors, isn’t as easy to achieve as you might think.
Professional cleaners will tackle every possible corner of your home that might be affected by pets, such as baseboards, underneath furniture, and corners, leaving them all immaculately clean and fresh-smelling. While you can do this yourself, it will be time consuming, and regular cleaning products and tools might not get the job done effectively.
If you’re vacating a rental property, hiring a home-cleaning service can ensure that all traces of your pets are 100% eliminated, giving landlords no reason to deduct any of your security deposit; which can be a huge relief.
And, if you’re selling your home and hosting open-house events, a cleaning service can work their magic beforehand, ensuring no potential buyer will be deterred by pet odors or unsightly stains.
With the knowledge, skills, products and techniques to tackle even the most stubborn of pet stains, damage, and odors, you can make moving out with pets super simple and stress-free by hiring a professional home-cleaning service.
