Chinese New Year is a festive occasion that brings joy and prosperity to many people. But before we can celebrate, we have to do some serious cleaning of our homes to welcome the new year. This can be a daunting task, especially if you have pets at home. You want to make sure your home is sparkling clean, but you also want to keep your pets safe and healthy.

Key Takeaways:

• Commercial cleaners can harm your pets and the environment
• Use natural and eco-friendly alternatives to clean your home
• Follow these DIY recipes to make your own pet-friendly cleaners

Many of the commercial cleaning products that we use contain harsh chemicals that can harm our pets. Some of these chemicals can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, digestive issues, or even organ damage. Some of them are also toxic to the environment and can pollute our water and soil.

That’s why we at Furry Green Pets recommend using natural and eco-friendly alternatives to clean your home. These alternatives are not only safer for your pets, but also cheaper and easier to make. You can use some common household items that you probably already have in your kitchen or pantry.

In this blog post, we will share with you some DIY recipes for making your own pet-friendly cleaners. These cleaners are effective, simple, and gentle on your pets and the planet. You can use them to clean your floors, countertops, windows, furniture, and more. Let’s get started!
