Boston is a remarkably dog-friendly city. From playing fetch on the Boston Common to taking long walks along the Charles River Esplanade, our furry friends are part of the family. However, any pet owner knows that living with animals in an urban apartment or historic house comes with a constant battle against pet hair, dander, and muddy paw prints.
At Boston Maids, we understand that your pets are your priority. That is why we offer specialized pet-friendly cleaning services designed to keep your home immaculate without using harsh chemicals that could harm your four-legged companions.
The Pet Owner’s Cleaning Challenges
Living with pets requires a different level of cleaning expertise. Here is how our professional teams handle the most common pet-related messes:
1. The Endless Battle of Pet Hair
Whether you have a Golden Retriever shedding on your rugs or a cat leaving fur on the velvet sofa, a standard vacuum won’t cut it. Our cleaning teams use specialized commercial vacuums equipped with HEPA filters and motorized pet-hair attachments. We pull embedded hair out of your carpets, rugs, and upholstery, significantly reducing allergens in the air.
2. Muddy Paws and Floor Care
Boston weather is unpredictable. A quick walk around the block during a rainy New England spring means your dog is tracking mud directly onto your floors. We use specialized, pH-neutral floor cleaners to lift mud and dirt from hardwood and tile without leaving a slippery, toxic residue behind.
3. Nose Smudges and Drool
If you have a dog, you likely have “nose art” on your lower windows, glass doors, and mirrors. We diligently polish all low-reaching glass surfaces to remove smudges and drool, restoring your clear view.
Safe, Non-Toxic Products for Furry Friends
Did you know that many traditional household cleaners contain ammonia, bleach, and strong synthetic fragrances that can be toxic to pets? Because animals spend their time low to the ground and often lick their paws, toxic residue on the floors can lead to serious health issues.
Boston Maids is committed to using eco-friendly, non-toxic, and pet-safe cleaning solutions. Our products effectively eliminate bacteria and neutralize pet odors naturally, ensuring your dog or cat can safely roam the house immediately after we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to crate my pet while you clean? If your pet is friendly and comfortable around strangers and vacuum noises, they are welcome to roam freely! However, if your pet is anxious or prone to escaping when doors open, we recommend crating them or securing them in a separate room for their safety and comfort.
Do you clean litter boxes or pet waste? For health and safety reasons regarding biohazards, our teams do not clean litter boxes, pick up animal waste, or clean up pet vomit/accidents. We focus strictly on the sanitization and upkeep of your home’s surfaces.
Can you get rid of the “wet dog” smell in my house? Yes! By thoroughly vacuuming soft surfaces where dander gets trapped and using natural, odor-neutralizing cleaning agents, we can drastically reduce lingering pet odors in your home.
