Safe for Paws, People, and the Planet

Over 80% of our clients across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia share their homes with pets. We understand that when you have dogs or cats, you are constantly battling shedding fur, tracked-in dirt, and lingering odors. But we also know that traditional cleaning franchises often resort to harsh, toxic chemicals that can irritate a pet’s paws, skin, and respiratory system.



At Rise & Shine, we built our entire cleaning standard around safety and environmental consciousness. As a local family-owned business, we exclusively use premium, eco-friendly products and advanced HEPA filtration to eliminate odors, dander, and dust—leaving your home smelling fresh, clean, and completely chemical-free.

  • 100% Pet-Safe & Non-Toxic: We never use harsh bleach, ammonia, or toxic artificial fragrances that are harmful to pets when they walk on floors or groom themselves.

  • Odor Elimination, Not Masking: We don't use heavy synthetic perfumes to cover up pet smells. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly sanitizers that actually neutralize odors at the source.

FAQs: Pet-Friendly Eco Cleaning

Q: Do I need to put my pets away while you clean?

A: We love pets! If your dog or cat is comfortable with our team and the sound of vacuums, they are welcome to roam freely. If your pet is anxious, protective, or an escape artist, we recommend keeping them in a designated room, crate, or out of the house during the service for their comfort and safety.

Q: Are your cleaning products safe for my pets to walk on immediately?

A: Yes. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable floor cleaners that are entirely safe for your pets to walk on and for children to crawl on as soon as the floors dry.

Q: Does pet-friendly cleaning cost extra?

A: No. We do not charge an "eco-tax" or a pet fee. Our commitment to non-toxic products and HEPA filtration is our standard baseline for every single home we clean.

Q: Can you clean pet waste or litter boxes?

A: For the health and safety of our team, we do not clean up biohazards, which includes animal waste, urine, feces, or emptying litter boxes.

Q: Do I need to supply any special pet-safe cleaners?

A: We provide all our own high-quality, eco-friendly supplies and equipment. However, if you have a highly specific, veterinary-recommended product you want us to use, simply leave it on the counter and we will happily accommodate you.
