Pets walk on your floors, lick your furniture and nap on your laundry. So everything you clean with ends up closer to them than you'd think.
Quick answer: choose fragrance-free products, skip essential oils, rinse surfaces pets touch, store cleaners out of reach and keep pets out of the room while you clean.

While you clean
Move pets to another room. Open a window. Then let them back in once everything's dry. They'll inspect your work. They always do.
