The short answer

Choose a cleaner suited to your floor type, follow the label, use the mildest product that works, rinse if directed, and keep your cat off the floor until it is dry. Ask your vet about any specific product.

Cats walk on floors and then groom their paws, so floor cleaning deserves extra care. Here is how a pet-friendly cleaning service in Norwalk, CT approaches it, in SoNo apartments and Cranbury houses alike.

A cat-friendly approach

  1. Vacuum or sweep first so you mop less.
  2. Use a cleaner made for your floor type, diluted as directed.
  3. Rinse with plain water if the label recommends it.
  4. Keep your cat out until the floor is fully dry.

By floor type

  • Sealed hardwood: damp, not wet, with a wood-safe cleaner.
  • Tile and vinyl: a mild cleaner and a rinse.
  • Natural stone: a stone-safe product only.

Around the litter box

Sweep scattered litter daily and wipe the area weekly. A washable mat under the box helps. For odors, see a fresh-smelling home with pets.
