Me and my girl :)
My hubby and I are fairly clean and neat. Some might say we are borderline OCD and especially careful when it comes to caring for our girl, Princess Maya.On one side of our clean-freak nature lies our need to have guests walk into our home not "smelling" of our four-legged baby. The other side of our need for cleanliness is because both our girl and us have extreme allergies to dust, dirt, and a few other things - we simply don't want to break-out or wheeze while at home.
To make matters worse, all three of us are also allergic to most cleaning products. How did we find this out? By steam cleaning our carpets which resulted in Maya breaking out in a rash while my skin broke-out in hives. My hubby also had issues breathing, so we ended up sleeping with our windows open...in the middle of winter.
Not fun.
Riddle me this: Not only are we clean freaks, we also have issues with cleaning products. NOW do you see why I'm constantly looking for cleanings products?!
The struggle is real I tell ya', REAL!
Keeping all of our issues in mind, it gives us great pleasure to find a brand that makes cleaning products that meet all of our needs and are also safe for our girl and chemical-free, allergen-free, all-natural, and non-toxic.
These are a few of our favorites:
Our girl at one of her morning walks
Earth Friendly Products - Pet WipesWe clean our girls paws and her "private" areas after each walk with these pre-moistened wipes. Not only are they mild and safe for her and us, they also have a light scent. They are also great to use in-between baths because they have both Aloe Vera & Vitamin E which help calm any mild irritations.
Our girl and her boyfriend Tyson
Earth Friendly Products - Pet Stain & Odor RemoverAlthough we clean her with the pet wipes after her potty breaks, it doesn't hurt to spray the Odor Remover on anything she lays on. It keeps her space clean and smelling nice and fresh.
Our girl at our local dog park
Earth Friendly Products - Dander Remover and Body DeodorizerOn days that Maya does a bit more running around than usual or we take her to the dog park, we love using the Dander Remover and Body Deodorizer. A couple of spritzes on a soft cloth that we use to lightly massage her body, is all she needs to smell incredibly nice and feel refreshed in between baths.
Our girl rolls around like this after steam-cleaning our carpet and NO break-outs!
Earth Friendly Products - Carpet ShampooMaya, unfortunately, still has accidents in our fully carpeted home. This makes for almost weekly spot steam-cleaning, and full steam cleaning every other week. We go through a lot of carpet shampoo, and every single one has made Maya itchy - until we found this one. We call this our holly-grail of carpet shampoo's! Not only is the concentration above other competing brands (4 to 1), it's 100% free of the harsh chemicals that make our girl itch, me break-out, and my hubby wheeze. The scent of bergamot and sage is perfection and doesn't over power the beautiful candles we always have burning in our home.
