National Love Your Pet Day – Keeping Pet-Friendly Homes Clean

On 20th February, we celebrate National Love Your Pet Day — a perfect opportunity to appreciate the companionship, joy, and comfort pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to smaller furry friends, pets are part of the family. However, they can also bring extra cleaning challenges into the home.

Managing Everyday Pet Mess

Pet hair, muddy paw prints, food spills, and odours are all part of pet ownership. Regular professional cleaning helps manage these issues by keeping floors hygienic, reducing hair build-up on carpets and upholstery, and maintaining fresh-smelling living spaces.

Supporting a Healthier Home for Pets and People

Cleanliness is just as important for pets as it is for owners. A well-maintained home helps reduce allergens, bacteria, and parasites, creating a healthier environment for everyone. This is especially important in homes with multiple pets or shared living areas.

Pet-Conscious Cleaning Practices

At Elliotts, we understand the importance of being mindful in pet-friendly homes. Our team works carefully around pets, minimising disruption and using appropriate cleaning methods to ensure safety and comfort.

Enjoy the Love, Not the Cleaning Stress

National Love Your Pet Day is about celebrating the bond you share with your pets — not worrying about the mess they leave behind. Professional domestic cleaning allows you to enjoy more quality time with your animals while we take care of the cleaning.

Exploring Devon with Your Pets

Pets also love time outdoors, and the Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh, Teign Valley, and Kenn Valley areas offer some of the best walks for dogs and their owners. From riverside trails to woodland paths, local walks provide fresh air, exercise, and bonding time with your pets. Popular routes include:

• Bovey Tracey Riverside Walks – gentle riverside strolls perfect for dogs of all ages.

• Chudleigh Knighton Woods – scenic woodland paths with plenty of space for pets to explore.

• Teign Valley Trails – a mix of riverside paths and country lanes, ideal for longer walks.

• Kenn Valley Greenways – quieter rural routes with natural beauty and plenty of sniffing opportunities for dogs.

Taking pets on local walks helps reduce indoor mess while keeping them happy, healthy, and stimulated. Pairing regular outdoor activity with professional cleaning at home ensures both you and your pets can enjoy a cleaner, fresher environment.

This February, show your pets some extra love and enjoy a cleaner, fresher home alongside the beautiful Devon countryside with help from Elliotts Cleaning and Property Services LTD.
