🐾 Pet-Friendly Cleaning Products: Keep Your Home Clean Without Harming Your Pets

When you share your home with furry companions, keeping things clean becomes a daily priority, but did you know that many conventional cleaning products could be putting your pets at risk?

From harsh chemicals to artificial fragrances, the ingredients in your average cleaning cupboard might be doing more harm than good. At Miniml, we're all about safe, sustainable swaps - so here’s everything you need to know about pet-friendly cleaning products and why they matter.

Why You Should Avoid Conventional Cleaning Products Around Pets

Many high-street cleaning products contain ingredients that are toxic to pets. While these substances may get the job done, they can lead to serious health issues in cats, dogs, and other animals.

🚫 Ingredients to Avoid:

• Ammonia: found in many glass and floor cleaners; causes respiratory irritation.
• Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite): can burn paws and mouths if licked or walked on.
• Phthalates: often found in synthetic fragrances; can impact hormone function.
• Formaldehyde: used as a preservative; linked to cancer and allergic reactions.
• Chlorine: found in disinfectants and toilet bowl cleaners; highly toxic to pets.

Even "fresh" smelling floors and worktops could be causing stress to your pet's more sensitive nose or worse, long-term damage to their health.

What Makes a Cleaning Product Pet-Friendly?

A pet-safe cleaning product should be free from harsh chemicals and instead made with natural, non-toxic ingredients. Look for products that are:

• Free from artificial fragrance and dyes
• Biodegradable and eco-friendly
• Hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin
• Non-toxic if ingested or inhaled in small amounts

At Miniml, our range of natural cleaning products is designed with every member of the family in mind, including the four-legged ones.
