Easter is here, and with it comes the joys of family gatherings, egg hunts, and festive celebrations. But for pet owners, prepping your home for the Easter Bunny’s arrival can feel like a juggling act. Between shedding fur, muddy paw prints, and the occasional “oops” moment, keeping your space clean while ensuring your furry friends stay safe can be tricky. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here are some pet-friendly cleaning tips to help you spring into Easter with a spotless home and happy pets.
1. Hop to It: Start with a Deep Clean
Before diving into daily maintenance, give your home a thorough deep clean. Start with vacuuming carpets, mopping floors, and wiping down surfaces. Pay extra attention to pet hotspots like their favorite napping spots or feeding areas.
Pro Tip: Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to trap allergens like pet dander. Your guests (and your sinuses) will thank you!

2. Safe Cleaning Products: No Toxic Treats
Pets are naturally curious, and they love to sniff, lick, and explore every corner of your home. That’s why it’s crucial to use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and ammonia, which can harm your pets if ingested or inhaled.
Instead, opt for natural solutions like vinegar and baking soda, or check out eco-friendly cleaning brands. At Squeaky’s, we use safe and effective products that keep your home clean without putting your pets at risk.
3. Fur-tastic Floors: Tackling Hair and Paw Prints
Let’s be honest—pet hair has a way of sticking to everything. To keep your floors fur-free:
Use a microfiber mop for hardwood or tile floors.
Invest in a rubber broom for carpets—it’s surprisingly effective at gathering hair.
Keep a towel by the door to wipe muddy paws before your pets come inside.
Quick Hack: Dryer sheets are great for picking up pet hair from furniture and baseboards. Just make sure to dispose of them properly, so your pets don’t mistake them for chew toys.

4. Odor Patrol: Keep It Fresh
Even the cutest pets can leave behind some not-so-cute smells. Combat odors with these tricks:
Sprinkle baking soda on carpets and let it sit for 15 minutes before vacuuming.
Wash pet bedding regularly with a mild, fragrance-free detergent.
Use an air purifier to keep the air fresh and free of pet dander.
Hosting Easter brunch? Add a few drops of pet-safe essential oils (like lavender or chamomile) to your cleaning routine for a subtle, welcoming scent.
5. Bunny-Proof Your Home
With all the Easter décor around, it’s essential to keep your pets safe from hazards. Here’s how:
Place Easter baskets and chocolate treats out of reach—chocolate is toxic to pets.
Avoid decorative grass, which can cause blockages if ingested.
Secure cords and wires from holiday lights or decorations.
Bonus Tip: If you’re hosting an egg hunt, make sure all plastic eggs are accounted for. Curious pets might mistake them for toys, leading to a potential choking hazard.
6. Regular Maintenance: The Key to a Clean Home
Consistency is everything when it comes to keeping your home clean with pets. Set a schedule for vacuuming, dusting, and mopping to stay on top of messes. If life gets too busy, Squeaky’s Cleaning Services offers customizable weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly plans to fit your needs.
