Living with pets means joy, unconditional love, and constant companionship. However, keeping a clean home when you have dogs or cats requires extra care — especially with carpets, upholstery, and rugs that trap fur, odors, and microorganisms.
In San Diego, where 58% of households have pets, owners face daily challenges:
- 2x more dust mites than pet-free homes (UC San Diego study)
- Persistent odors that regular products can’t remove
- Allergies that affect both humans and animals
Why Do Pet Homes Accumulate More Microorganisms?
Even the cleanest pets produce natural odors, which intensify over time as they’re absorbed into fabrics. Carpets, sofas, and rugs act like sponges, holding onto:
- Natural oils and pet hair
- Accidental urine and feces
- Sweat from paws
- Smells from food and toys
This buildup creates the perfect environment for bacteria and microorganisms to thrive.
How Does Pet Hair Affect Indoor Air Quality?
Pet hair not only accumulates — it penetrates deep into fabrics.
- Carpets: 87% of fur gets trapped in the fibers
- Upholstery: 62% penetrates inner padding
- Corners: Collect 3x more hair than open areas
This can lead to:
- Allergic reactions in kids, elderly, and guest
- Bacterial and microorganism growth
- Dull and aged appearance of your home
