Did you know that Australia is amongst the world’s most pet-loving nations with around 73% of Aussie playing home to one or more pets? Canine and feline friends are the most popular pet-pals, with half Australian households owning a dog and around a third owning a cat.
But with millions of precious paws patting around household floors, a simple routine to quickly clean up muddy paw prints or stray fur and hair is a must.
I can attest to that, being a parents to two cats, a Bengal and a DSH. Lots of fur, the mess around the eating area and the occasional regurgitation.
Here are some top tips from Tineco for keeping floors purr-fectly clean and hygienic in a fur-friendly home.
Daily Grooming and Immediate Vacuuming for Pet Hair
Keeping up daily brushing of pet fur can help reduce loose fur flying through the air and landing on floors, carpets and furniture around the home. After their daily walk at the dog park, our doggos can track in dirt, sticks and other debris that land on the floor. Vacuum up messes as they arise or use a floor cleaner with DualBlock Anti-tangle design to eliminate hair becoming tangled in the machine.
High-Tech Solutions for Fur-Friendly Households
Investing in the right cleaning equipment can transform your routine from a chore into a quick, effective task. Intelligent floor cleaners that combine vacuuming, mopping, and advanced filtration help remove pet hair, dirt, and germs in one step to make spot cleaning quick and easy.
Hygienic Steam Cleaning: A Chemical-Free Solution
Sweeping floors can result in hair, dust, fur and other allergens simply being moved around spaces and pushed into the air. Mopping regularly with pet-safe solutions helps remove sticky messes and accidents and residue, however for an even deeper clean without chemicals, steam cleaning is increasingly becoming to hygienic solution for pet-loving homes. Steam cleaning wet and dry floor cleaners such as Tineco’s the Floor One S9 Artist Steam, Floor One S7 Stretch Steam and Carpet One Cruiser have surged in popularity among pet owners because super-heated steam helps eliminate germs and bacteria without relying on harsh chemicals.
According to Jade Tang, ANZ Country Manager for Tineco, homeowners are increasingly prioritising hygiene when choosing cleaning tools: “Australians are more conscious than ever about the best way to clean their floors hygienically. We see consumers prioritising hygiene, health and convenience with a growing demand for steam-powered systems that deliver not just spotless floors, but the peace of mind that comes with knowing they’re truly sanitised, all without the need for chemicals.”
These systems often dry rapidly and Tineco models include FlashDry self-cleaning, making maintenance between uses simpler and helping prevent residual build-up inside the appliance.
Selecting Pet-Safe Cleaning and Sanitisation Methods
Traditional vacuum and mopping often involves the use of chemicals which may be a problem for sensitive paws. Always opt for products labelled pet-safe, and avoid harsh substances like bleach or ammonia, which can irritate pets’ skin or respiratory systems. Jade Tang highlights that modern cleaning trends, especially the use of wet and dry floor cleaners that integrate steam features for a chemical-free clean that also sanitises floors, is a key priority for households with pets.
