Pet Owners’ Guide: Dubai’s Best Cleaning Service Hacks for Fur & Odors
Pet ownership in Dubai is a rewarding experience with the added advantage of companionship, emotional support, and joy. Still, it also comes with daily cleaning challenges that even the most meticulous homeowner could find difficult to manage. From fur balls under sofas to stubborn odors in upholstery, the reality is that pets as great as they are, make messes—especially in Dubai’s unique environment and interior climates.
Having a clean, pet-proof place isn’t being more busy, it’s being tidier. This book will acquaint you with professional advice, cleaning schedules, and the reasons why many pet owners in the UAE use Best Maids, one of Dubai’s leading cleaning agencies, to help keep the mess in hand professionally.
The climate and lifestyle of Dubai create unique challenges when it comes to pet cleaning:
1. Indoors High Shedding
Due to indoor air-conditioning year-round and indoor-outdoor temperature variation, pets shed more than in any other environment. Long-haired breeds like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Persian cats cannot regulate temperature and therefore shed perpetually, leading to hair piling up in corners, air vents, and clothes.
2. Prolonged Smell in Close Spaces
High humidity with closed windows and air-conditioning can trap pet odors inside. Upholstery, curtains, carpets, and even air ducts begin to absorb and retain odors from pet dander, slobber, accidents, and pet beds.
3. Outdoor Activity Sand and Grit
Whether a walk on Jumeirah Beach or a garden trek at Arabian Ranches, pets come back with sand, dust, and small pieces of trash from outdoors. These items fall in tight spaces and could damage carpets or floors if not cleaned thoroughly.
4. Higher Chances of Allergens
Pet dander, microscopic skin flakes, and proteins in saliva can remain suspended in the air or cling to surfaces. Inside closed homes and apartments, it leads to increased allergic reactions, even in those who are otherwise not sensitive.
With one of the best experienced cleaning agencies in Dubai, Best Maids offers professional cleaning solutions specifically for pet-friendly homes. Our service goes beyond a simple surface cleaning and is focused on health, hygiene, and safety—for humans and animals alike.
Top Most Important Aspects of Our Pet-Friendly Cleaning Philosophy:
Pet-Safe, Non-Toxic Products
We employ cleaning products that are hypoallergenic, biodegradable, and cat- and dog-safe certified. This is all done without leaving behind residue that can be toxic.
High-Efficiency HEPA Vacuums
Our vacuums capture a whopping 99.97% of fine particles such as fur, dust mites, and allergens, which regular vacuums cannot.
Specialized Carpet Cleaning Equipment
Our carpet cleaning machines penetrate deep into the fibers, disintegrating dirt, hair, urine crystals, and odors that are well below the surface.
Customized Cleaning Routines
Flexible maid service options are provided depending on the breed of pet, shedding cycles, medical conditions, or amount of activity on a day-by-day basis.
Disinfecting and Deodorizing
We eradicate odors at the molecular level—not by covering them up with an odor. This includes enzyme treatments for pet stains and disinfecting high-touch surfaces.
Essential Cleaning Hacks for Cat and Dog Owners in Dubai
To keep your space smelling fresh in between professional cleaning, these tried-and-tested methods by the Best Maids team:
1. Use a Rubber Glove or Squeegee to Remove Hair
Run a rubber glove or squeegee over sofas or rugs. It generates static that collects hair more effectively than a vacuum cleaner—ideal for velvet, suede, and microfiber.
2. Place Entry Mat and Paw Station
Designate a “paw cleaning station” at your entrance door. A wipeable mat, soft towel, and pet-safe wipes can reduce the amount of sand and dirt brought in by astounding degrees.
3. Brush Pets Outside
Create a habit of brushing your dog or cat outside on the patio or balcony. Not only does this reduce shedding indoors, but it keeps loose fur from flowing through air vents and adhering to soft materials.
4. Apply Baking Soda to Pet Bedding
Lightly sprinkle baking soda on pet bedding, let 10–15 minutes, and then vacuum. This simple method absorbs oils and eliminates light odors.
5. Vacuum Each Day, Deep Clean Each Week
Daily short vacuuming in high-traffic pet areas keeps hair under control. Nevertheless, professional home cleaning is the only method that can be employed to perform deep steam extractions for eliminating embedded dirt and pet-based bacteria.
6. Wash Toys and Bowls Regularly
Soft toys, collars, and bowls are often overlooked. Wash soft toys weekly in boiling water and daily wash bowls to prevent mold, bacteria, and lingering odors of pet food.
7. HEPA-filter Air Purifiers for Pet Dander
Place HEPA-filter air cleaners in shared living areas to help eliminate airborne circulating allergens, especially important for high-rise Dubai apartments with poor natural ventilation.
8. Washable Slipcovers and Fabrics
If your animals ride the furniture, buy washable slipcovers or throws. This makes it easy to clean weekly and prevents your underlying upholstery from damage through staining or odor build-up.
