As much as you try to protect your home (especially if you live with a curious kitten) it may still be a dangerous environment for your pet. You must be very careful with cleaning products, as some cleaners contain harsh chemicals that could cause an allergic reaction in your pet or even poison it. Therefore, if you want to keep your home impeccable while taking care of your kitten, you will have to look for cleaning products suitable for pets or use natural ingredients (such as vinegar).
Use a pet-friendly cleaner
First, you will need to dispose of cleaners that contain ammonia, ethylene acetate, or similar chemicals. Replace them with cleaners that contain active ingredients like vinegar, citric acid, or essential oils. Your pussy will surely thank you! In addition, you can use them on any surface in the home, including windows, floors or appliances.
Create your own cleaning products
If you can’t afford pet-friendly cleaning products, another option is to create your own natural water and vinegar based cleaner. Mix 350 milliliters of distilled water with 120 milliliters of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then shake the bottle to mix the ingredients well. You can use this solution on any dirty surface.
In addition, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to make the homemade cleaner more aromatic. This product can be used on any non-porous surface in the home, such as the kitchen floor or countertop.
Use a chemical-free carpet cleaner
Cats like to spend a lot of time lying on the carpet. In addition, they tend to lick what catches their attention. Therefore, you should use a carpet cleaner that will not harm or make you sick. It is also a good idea to keep the kitten in another room in the house until the carpet is clean and dry.
Keep in mind that some cleaners get their power from ammonium hydroxide or perchlorethylene, among other chemicals. These can cause symptoms in your pet that range from dizziness to vomiting to poor appetite. Great care!
