Keeping a clean home when you’ve got four kiddos and a pup is nothing to sneeze at. When Art of Green ® reached out to us, we were excited to try out their line of green, pet-safe cleaning products. Eco-friendly cleaners that are priced for everyday use, tough on dirt, grease, and grime, and safe to use around pets and kids? Yes please!
As a dog owner, you probably face a number of dog-specific cleaning problems like random drool marks, muddy and dirty paw prints, or the ever-so-lovely bodily fluid accidents that happen from time to time (or all the time if you’re house training!). Cleaning up after our pups isn’t always very convenient. But a bigger concern is whether the products we’re using to clean up after them will do more harm in using them.
Cleaning Product Hazards for Your Pet
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, cleaning products containing bleach can cause stomach upset, drooling, vomiting or diarrhea, severe burns if swallowed, and respiratory infection if inhaled in a high enough concentration. Although most of us are capably able to use toxic cleaning products responsibly, there’s still a risk of our pets being negatively affected if we’re using them in our home. Licking cleaning residue off the floor or coming into contact with our dog’s fur is something that can happen easily, albeit unintentionally.
Benefits of Using Art of Green’s Pet Safe Cleaning Products
I’m a long-time advocate of using eco-friendly cleaning products in my home. But it can be cost-prohibitive to always go the green route. That’s another reason Art of Green is so great. They’re leveling the playing field with their eco-friendly cleaners––they’re budget-friendly, too. And even better, Art of Green cleaning products are available at your local H-E-B.
Art of Green currently offers a multisurface spray cleaner, cleaning wipes, and a concentrated multisurface cleaner in both Lavendar Eucalyptus and Citrus White Flowers. I’m usually a big lavendar lover, but I’m smitten with those Citrus White Flowers.
All Art of Green products are 98% are at least 98% naturally derived with no harsh chemicals, non-toxic formula free of parabens, phthalates, glycol solvents, artificial color, or phosphates. Plus they leave less residue than leading eco-friendly cleaners, are safe for sensitive skin, and use a biodegradable formula.
