Pet Cleaning Toronto: Founder's Hair, Odour & Stain Guide

The Bloor West sectional that two golden retrievers built into a hair fortress

A Bloor West Village client called us last summer about her sectional. It was a beautiful piece — deep charcoal velvet, low arms, the kind of couch you sink into. She had two long-haired golden retrievers, both rescues, both eight years old, both with a habit of climbing onto the couch the moment she left the room. She had been having the place cleaned every two weeks by a cleaner she'd used for three years.

When I sat down on her couch for the consultation, my dark jeans came up looking like they were upholstered in golden fur. The previous cleaner had been lint-rolling the couch every visit — which, I should be clear, is not a wrong approach for surface hair. The problem is that lint rolling does nothing for the second layer of hair, the deep layer, the fibres that have worked themselves down into the velvet weave and stayed there. Two years of lint-rolled cleaning had built up a felt-like underlayer of dog hair through the entire couch fabric. If you ran your hand against the nap, you got a small handful of hair. If you ran it harder, you got more.

It took us six hours on that couch alone. The Bissell HEPA upright with the pet-specific attachment ran twice over every cushion in opposing directions. We used a rubber pet-hair brush by hand on the seam lines, where the hair packed in tightest. Then we ran a Waitbird steam pass — not to clean the velvet (steam on velvet has to be done very carefully), but to lift the embedded hair the vacuum had loosened. Then we vacuumed again. By the time we finished, we had filled four large vacuum bags. She came home, sat on the couch, and called me an hour later. She had been petting one of the dogs while sitting on the couch. The dog's hair was rolling off, but for the first time in two years, it was rolling off onto a couch that wasn't already full of it.

That job taught me something important about pet cleaning Toronto: most cleaners don't get pet hair out of furniture. They move it around. The difference is method, tools, and time, in roughly that order. This guide is about all three.

If you are a Toronto pet owner — dog, cat, rabbit, ferret, parrot, anything that sheds, walks on a litter box, or has the occasional accident — this is the cleaning playbook. We will go through hair removal (couches, carpets, hardwood, clothing, HVAC), odour removal, stain removal (urine, vomit, blood, mud), the products that work, the products that don't, what's pet-safe versus what's marketed as pet-safe, and a Toronto-specific section on winter, salt, and the wet-dog problem from October to April.


Why pet cleaning in Toronto is its own scope of work

Three things make pet cleaning different from regular residential cleaning, and the third one is the one most cleaners miss.

Volume of biological residue. A house with one medium dog produces meaningfully more dander, hair, and outdoor dirt than the same house without a pet. A two-cat household where the cats share a litter box produces significantly more airborne particulate than a fish-only household. The HVAC system has to work harder, surfaces accumulate residue faster, and a regular weekly clean that was sufficient for a pet-free home is no longer sufficient.

Sensitivity to product chemistry. Pets have lower body weights, faster respiration rates, and more direct floor contact than humans. Cats are particularly sensitive to phenol-based cleaners (most pine-scented and citrus-scented household cleaners contain phenols). Birds are catastrophically sensitive to volatile cleaners — anything aerosolized in the same room as a parrot can be lethal in minutes. The cleaner you use in a pet household has to be safer than the cleaner you'd use in a pet-free household, not the other way around.

The hair embedding problem. This is the one. Pet hair is not like dust. Dust sits on top of surfaces; you wipe it off and it's gone. Pet hair, especially short fine hair like cat fur or shedded undercoat from a husky or a golden, embeds itself into fabric weaves and into carpet pile. The longer it sits, the deeper it embeds. A regular vacuum running across an embedded couch picks up the loose fibres and leaves the embedded ones in place — which is why people are shocked when we pull a fresh layer out of a couch they thought was clean.

If you want a refresher on how a deep clean differs from a regular clean, our deep cleaning vs regular cleaning guide covers it. For a pet household, the answer is usually that you need a deep clean more often than a non-pet household, and you need to factor pet-specific tools and techniques into both.


Pet hair: the long version

Hair removal is the topic that takes up about 60 percent of the conversations I have with new pet-owning clients in Toronto. Here's the actual playbook by surface.

Hardwood and tile floors

Hardwood is the easiest surface to handle pet hair on, and the one most people get wrong.

The mistake people make is sweeping. A broom on hardwood pushes pet hair into a small fluffy clump that you then have to bend down and pick up — and the static charge on the broom bristles also throws hair onto baseboards and into floor vents.

What works: a HEPA-filtered upright vacuum with a hardwood-floor attachment. Run it at low pile setting in straight lines, slow passes. After vacuuming, microfibre dust mop with the host's non-scented floor cleaner. Microfibre grabs the last 5 percent of hair the vacuum missed.

For tile, same playbook. The grout lines are the hair trap — a soft brush attachment in the crevice tool gets into them.

Carpet

This is where the lint roller crowd loses to the upright vacuum crowd. A lint roller picks up the top millimetre of hair. A vacuum picks up the next centimetre. The challenge is the embedded hair below that.

Three-pass method:

  1. First pass: HEPA upright with the carpet attachment, in straight lines, north-south.
  2. Second pass: same vacuum, perpendicular to the first, east-west. This is the most important pass — perpendicular passes lift hair the first direction missed.
  3. Third pass: rubber pet-hair brush by hand on high-traffic areas (under coffee tables, where the dog beds are, in front of doors). The rubber raises the embedded hair so the next vacuum pass can grab it. For really deep embedment in older carpet, we sometimes do a steam pass with the Waitbird and then re-vacuum after it dries. Steam loosens the carpet fibres enough to release the embedded layer.

Couches and upholstery

Couches are the highest-stakes surface for pet hair, because they're high-touch and visible.

Method depends on the fabric:

  • Velvet, mohair, chenille, microfibre: HEPA upright with upholstery attachment, in opposing directions, then a soft rubber pet brush, then re-vacuum. No steam unless you've tested in a hidden seam.
  • Leather: Vacuum with the soft brush attachment to clear hair from seams and between cushions; wipe with a damp microfibre and pH-neutral leather cleaner. Pet hair does not embed in leather, but it accumulates in seams.
  • Linen, cotton: Vacuum, then a damp microfibre cloth wiped in one direction (always one direction, not back-and-forth, which redistributes fibres).
  • Outdoor / synthetic: Vacuum, then a sticky-roller pass to finish. These fabrics shed hair the easiest. We always — always — move couches to vacuum behind and underneath. Hair under a couch does not stay under a couch. It blows out every time someone walks past, every time the HVAC cycles, every time a kid runs through the room.

Clothing and textiles

Worth a mention because Toronto pet owners ask about it constantly. The quickest way to get pet hair out of clothing before the wash:

  • A 10-minute toss in the dryer on no-heat (air only) with a couple of damp dryer balls. The static plus the air movement loosens hair into the lint trap.
  • Then wash normally. If hair survives the wash, it's because the wash cycle wasn't long enough or the load was overstuffed. Pet-hair-laden loads should be smaller than usual.

HVAC and air vents

This is the part nobody thinks about, and it's the part that kills indoor air quality in a Toronto pet household. Pet hair and dander get pulled into your HVAC system, accumulate in the ductwork, and re-emit every time the furnace or AC cycles.

Two interventions:

  1. Replace the furnace filter every two months in pet households, not every three. Use a MERV 11 or MERV 13 filter — higher than the basic MERV 8 most condo developers ship with. Higher MERV ratings catch more dander.
  2. Vacuum every supply register and cold-air return monthly with the HEPA vacuum's crevice tool. Pop the cover, vacuum the duct as far as the wand reaches, vacuum the cover, replace. For multi-pet households, a professional duct cleaning every two to three years is worth the cost. We don't do duct cleaning ourselves, but we'll refer you to a Toronto company we trust.

Pet odour: where most cleaners use the wrong tool

The first instinct most people have for pet odour is masking — a scented spray, a candle, a plug-in. This is the worst possible first move. It does two things wrong: it adds chemistry to a household that's already over-loaded with dander and saliva proteins, and it tells your nose to stop noticing the odour rather than removing it. If your eight-month-old is crawling on a carpet that smells like Febreze on top of dog urine, you have not made the carpet cleaner.

Real odour removal is about source elimination. Here's the order we work in.

Step 1: Find the source

Every odour has a source. Most pet odour in a Toronto home comes from one of seven sources:

  1. The litter box
  2. The dog bed
  3. A carpet area where an accident occurred (sometimes months ago)
  4. The couch (especially the cushions)
  5. The dog's collar / harness / leash storage area
  6. The HVAC ductwork (recirculating dander)
  7. Hidden — under furniture, behind a curtain, against a wall A blacklight and your nose are the diagnostic tools. Blacklights make urine fluoresce — including dried, old, invisible-to-the-naked-eye urine. We carry a small handheld UV light on every pet-cleaning job specifically for this. If a client says "I don't know why my apartment smells, I haven't had an accident in months," nine times out of ten the blacklight finds the spot they didn't know about.

Step 2: Match the cleaner to the molecule

Different odours come from different molecules and require different cleaners.

  • Urine: ammonia + uric acid crystals. Requires an enzyme cleaner specifically (an enzyme cleaner contains protein-eating enzymes that break down the uric acid crystals). Regular cleaners and bleach do not work on urine — they mask, they don't remove. The crystals reactivate when humidity rises.
  • Feces and vomit: organic matter. Enzyme cleaner again, plus a manual scrape and rinse.
  • Wet dog smell: sebum (skin oil) on fabric. Requires a degreaser-type approach + a good airing. Steam helps.
  • Litter box smell (away from the box): ammonia primarily. Enzyme on the source, baking soda + vinegar follow-up, deep ventilation. We carry two enzyme cleaners on every job — one veterinary-grade for fresh / heavy areas, one general-purpose for older / surface areas. Both are non-scented.

Step 3: Steam, ventilate, then re-test

After enzyme treatment, steam the surface with the Waitbird. Then ventilate aggressively — windows open, fans on, HVAC on circulation. Then come back the next day with the blacklight and your nose. If the spot is gone, you're done. If it's not, the enzyme didn't reach all the way through the carpet pad — apply again, possibly more aggressively.

For severe cases (carpet pad and subfloor saturation), the only complete fix is to pull the carpet, treat the subfloor, and reinstall. This is a contractor job, not a cleaning job, but we will call it for what it is when we see it.


Pet stains: the surface-by-surface playbook

Stains are time-sensitive. The faster you treat them, the higher the success rate. Here are the protocols by stain type.

Urine on carpet

  1. Blot, don't rub. Use a stack of clean white towels. Press down hard with both hands, rotate the towel, repeat until no more liquid lifts.
  2. Apply enzyme cleaner. Soak the spot, including a margin of an inch or two beyond what you can see. Urine spreads underneath the carpet.
  3. Wait the full enzyme contact time. Most enzymes need 10 to 30 minutes to break down uric acid. Don't shortcut this.
  4. Blot again with clean towels.
  5. Rinse with water, blot again.
  6. Air-dry completely. Do not vacuum until fully dry, or you will pull stain back to the surface. If a stain is set (more than a few hours old), repeat the enzyme step twice with full contact time.

Urine on hardwood

Hardwood is the worst surface for urine. The acid in urine etches into the finish and, if it gets between boards, into the subfloor. Speed matters.

  1. Blot immediately.
  2. Apply a vinegar-and-water solution (1:1) to neutralize. Blot.
  3. Apply enzyme cleaner (yes, on hardwood — it works fine if the finish is intact). Blot.
  4. Dry thoroughly. If the hardwood is already discoloured (dark spot, raised grain, peeling finish), the damage is in the wood and the only fix is sand-and-refinish. Most Toronto hardwood floor refinishers can do a single-board replacement for severe cases.

Vomit on carpet or upholstery

  1. Remove solids first with a plastic spoon or a cardboard scraper. Do not push down — scrape laterally.
  2. Blot remaining liquid.
  3. Apply enzyme cleaner generously.
  4. Wait 15 to 20 minutes contact time.
  5. Blot.
  6. Rinse and re-blot.
  7. Steam pass once dry.

Blood on carpet (dog cut, cat scratch, etc.)

Cold water only — never hot. Hot water sets the stain.

  1. Blot.
  2. Cold-water rinse.
  3. Hydrogen peroxide on white or light carpets (test a hidden spot first — it can lighten dark carpets).
  4. For coloured carpets, use a dedicated enzyme cleaner formulated for blood.
  5. Blot, rinse, dry.

Mud and outdoor dirt (Toronto winter special)

This is the Toronto-specific one and I'll cover it in detail in the winter section below. The headline: do not wipe wet mud. Let it dry first, then vacuum, then wipe.


Pet-safe cleaners: what's real and what's marketing

The phrase "pet-safe" is one of the least regulated terms in the cleaning product industry. Here's how to read labels.

Real signals

  • Specifically lists the actives. "Hydrogen peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, plant-derived surfactants" — that's a real disclosure. You can look up each ingredient.
  • EWG verified. The Environmental Working Group's "EWG Verified" mark is one of the few third-party certifications with a transparent ingredient standard.
  • EcoLogo / Green Seal. Independent certifications with public standards.
  • Veterinary endorsement. Some products are formulated in consultation with veterinary toxicologists. Look for specific named institutions.
  • No "fragrance" listed as a single ingredient. "Fragrance" can hide hundreds of compounds, some of which (limonene, linalool) are known irritants for cats and birds.

Yellow flags

  • "Natural" with no further detail.
  • "Plant-based" with no further detail.
  • "Eco-friendly" with no certification.
  • "Pet-safe" with no certification or ingredient list.
  • A product that smells strongly of anything.

Hard no's for pet households

  • Phenol-based cleaners (anything with "phenol" or "phenolic" or sometimes "creosote" in the ingredient list). Cats lack the liver enzyme to metabolize phenols and can be poisoned by surface contact.
  • Pine and citrus oil cleaners as the primary cleaner in any cat or bird household.
  • Bleach in any room where pets eat or drink.
  • Ammonia-heavy glass cleaners around birds.
  • Anything labelled "long-lasting fresh scent." We use exclusively non-scented cleaners on every job — not just pet jobs — and the reasoning is the same one we covered in our eco-friendly cleaning guide. For pet households, the case is even stronger.

The Toronto winter pet problem (October to April)

Six months of the year, Toronto pet owners deal with a unique cleaning load: the wet-dog-and-salt problem.

Salt and pet paws

Toronto sidewalks get salted aggressively in winter. The salt is mostly sodium chloride, but some municipal blends include magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, which are more aggressive on pet paws. Dogs walking on salted sidewalks pick up crystals between the paw pads, lick them off when they get inside, and ingest them. This is unhealthy for the dog and a cleaning problem for you.

What we recommend:

  • A boot tray and a paw-wipe station at the door. Towel + a small bowl of warm water.
  • Wipe paws after every walk, October through April.
  • Vacuum and damp-mop the entry mat daily in winter.
  • For longer-haired dogs, the hair between the paw pads collects salt and ice — a small grooming trim every six weeks helps. For the cleaning side, salt residue on hardwood floors is a finish-killer. White streaks on dark hardwood near the entry are usually salt. Damp-mop with vinegar-and-water (1:10) to neutralize, then mop with the standard non-scented floor cleaner.

Wet dog smell

Wet dog smell in the entryway is not actually the dog. It's the bacterial breakdown of saliva and oils on the doormat, the carpet runner, and the wall against which the dog brushes when shaking off.

What works:

  • Wash the doormat weekly in winter.
  • Steam the carpet runner monthly.
  • Wipe the wall at dog-shake height with a damp cloth and non-scented multipurpose cleaner.
  • For severe cases, replace the doormat with a fully washable rubber-backed runner that you can throw in the laundry.

Mud, dried mud, and the no-wipe rule

Toronto's freeze-thaw cycle creates mud. Dogs come in muddy. Cats come in muddy. The cleaning instinct is to wipe immediately. Don't.

The reason: wet mud, when wiped, smears into the carpet pile or the hardwood grain and locks in. Dried mud, when vacuumed, comes out almost completely. Wait 20 minutes for the mud to dry, then vacuum the area thoroughly, then damp-wipe any residue. This single change cuts your winter cleaning time in half.


Litter box maintenance for Toronto cat households

A clean litter box is the single highest-leverage piece of cleaning hygiene in a cat household. Here's the protocol we use for our cat-household clients.

  • Daily: scoop, top up, surface-wipe the box rim and the surrounding floor. Most clients do this themselves.
  • Weekly: empty the box completely, wash with hot water + unscented multipurpose cleaner (no bleach, no phenols, no ammonia — ammonia smells like cat urine and confuses cats), dry thoroughly, refill with fresh litter.
  • Monthly: deep clean the surrounding two-foot radius with HEPA vacuum and a steam pass. The "litter halo" — the region of fine litter dust that escapes the box and accumulates around it — is where most cat-household odour issues actually originate.
  • Quarterly: replace the entire box. Plastic litter boxes accumulate microscratches that hold bacteria; even with deep cleaning they smell after about three months. For multi-cat households, the standard rule is one box per cat plus one extra. So two cats = three boxes. This is a hygiene rule, not a luxury — multi-cat households with too few boxes have more accidents outside the box, which becomes a much bigger cleaning problem.

How we price pet-household cleaning at Clean Papi

Same model as everything: time + materials + 35 percent margin, estimate is a ceiling.

For a typical Toronto pet-household clean, the rough math:

  • Single-pet, smaller condo, regular bi-weekly clean: small premium over the equivalent non-pet rate, typically 10 to 20 percent more time per visit.
  • Multi-pet, larger home, regular bi-weekly clean: 25 to 40 percent more time per visit than equivalent non-pet.
  • Pet-household deep clean: the most common job we run for new pet clients — 6 to 10 hours, two cleaners. This is the "reset" clean that gets the embedded hair out of the couch, the urine spots out of the carpet, the litter halo out of the floor, and brings the household to a baseline a regular bi-weekly clean can maintain.
  • Move-out from a pet household: see our move-out cleaning checklist for the full scope. The pet adjustment usually adds 2 to 4 hours to a standard move-out. Materials for a pet-household clean usually include enzyme cleaner ($15 to $30 above standard materials), additional vacuum filter changes ($5 to $10), and any specialty product the client wants us to use. We itemize all of it.

A specific Toronto pet-cleaning quirk: the condo concierge dander rule

This one only applies to high-end Toronto condos, but it's worth knowing. A growing number of buildings — especially newer ones in CityPlace, Liberty Village, and Yorkville — are tightening pet rules in common areas. Some require pet owners to be accompanied to the elevator by a staff member, some require pet owners to use a specific elevator (always the freight), some now charge a "common area dander cleaning fee" on top of the pet fee.

What this means for you, practically: if your building has a dander-cleaning policy and you bring in a cleaning crew, the property manager may want documentation that the cleaner uses HEPA vacuums and proper dander-control protocols. We provide that documentation as part of our standard COI submission. Our Toronto condo cleaning guide walks through the full vendor approval process for downtown buildings.


Senior pets, mobility issues, and the accident-frequency curve

A pet-cleaning topic that doesn't get talked about enough: the cleaning load goes up significantly as your pet ages. This is true for dogs and cats both, and it's true for reasons that are easy to underestimate.

Senior dogs (10+ years for most breeds, 7+ for large breeds). Bladder control declines. Mobility declines. Shedding can increase as coat health declines. The accident frequency on hardwood and carpet rises noticeably between 10 and 14 in most dogs, and sometimes much earlier with breed-specific issues. We see this in many of our long-term Toronto clients — we'll be running a regular bi-weekly clean and the homeowner will mention, almost in passing, "by the way, Charlie is having more accidents lately." We adjust the protocol: more enzyme cleaner per visit, an extra UV blacklight check on each visit, more focused floor work in the rooms where Charlie sleeps.

Senior cats (12+ years). Cats can develop kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and arthritis as they age. All three increase litter box accidents — sometimes from physical inability to make it to the box, sometimes from increased urine volume, sometimes from cats avoiding a hard-to-access box. The fix is partly behavioural (low-sided box, more boxes, easier access) and partly cleaning (more frequent box changes, more frequent enzyme treatment around the box).

Mobility issues that affect cleaning. Older pets sometimes can't get up onto the couch — but they try, and they fail, and they leave evidence (scratches on upholstery, urine if they slipped, fur trapped in fabric from contact stress). Older pets sometimes can't make it down stairs to the litter box or the back yard — and the cleaning consequence shows up in the rooms closest to where they spend the day. We adjust by paying closer attention to those specific zones.

The hospice cleaning conversation. This is hard to write but important. When a pet is in end-of-life care at home, cleaning needs change — more frequent enzyme treatment, gentler products, often more frequent visits. We have done a number of these jobs for long-term clients in Toronto, and we adjust pricing on a case-by-case basis. If you're in this stage, please reach out — we'll work with you.

If your pet's accident frequency has changed, talk to your vet first (the cause is usually medical, not behavioural) and then talk to us about adjusting your cleaning cadence. The goal is to keep your home liveable without adding to the household's stress at a time that's already stressful.


Frequently asked questions about pet cleaning in Toronto

How often should I deep clean my house if I have pets?

For a single-pet household, plan a deep clean every six months on top of your regular bi-weekly or monthly clean. For a multi-pet household — especially with shedding dogs or multiple cats — every three to four months. The deep clean is what keeps embedded hair out of fabric, urine residue out of carpet pad, and litter halo out of floors. The regular maintenance clean keeps the surfaces between deep cleans.

What's the best vacuum for pet hair?

A true HEPA-filtered upright vacuum with a sealed housing and a pet-specific attachment (sometimes called a "turbo brush" or "pet tool"). The brand matters less than the housing seal — we use Bissell HEPA at Clean Papi, but several other brands meet the same spec. Avoid bagless vacuums marketed as "HEPA-style" — that's a marketing term, not a certification.

How do I get pet urine smell out of carpet?

Use an enzyme cleaner — not a regular cleaner, not bleach, and not a fragrance spray. Enzyme cleaners contain protein-eating enzymes that break down the uric acid crystals in pet urine. Soak the area, wait the full contact time (10 to 30 minutes), blot, rinse, blot, air dry. For older or set stains, repeat twice. Bleach and regular cleaners only mask the smell — the crystals reactivate when humidity rises.

Are your cleaning products safe for cats and dogs?

Yes. We use exclusively non-scented, pet-safe cleaners — no phenols, no pine or citrus oils, no ammonia, no bleach as primary cleaners. Specifically: a non-scented multipurpose cleaner, a pH-neutral non-scented stone cleaner for granite and quartz, Bar Keepers Friend on stainless (not on areas pets contact), and veterinary-grade enzyme cleaner for biological cleanup.

Can you remove old urine stains and smells I didn't know were there?

Often yes. We carry a UV blacklight specifically for this — old urine fluoresces under blacklight even when you can't see or smell it. Once we identify all the spots, we treat each with enzyme, steam, and ventilation. For deep saturation that has reached the carpet pad or subfloor, the only complete fix is to pull and replace the carpet — but for surface and mid-pile saturation, our protocol resolves most cases.

Is there a cleaning service for the day my pet has an accident?

Yes. We offer same-day or next-day spot-treatment visits for our regular clients. For non-clients with a pet emergency, we'll do our best to fit you in within 48 hours. For severe cases (large urine saturation, vomit on a major surface, blood from an injury), call us as soon as you know — speed of treatment is the biggest factor in whether the surface comes back fully.

Do you handle litter box cleaning?

We deep-clean the box and the surrounding area (the "litter halo") on every pet-household clean, and we offer it as a standalone service for clients who travel. We do not handle daily scooping as a service line — it's not cost-effective at our pricing. For daily scooping while you travel, we recommend pairing us with a Toronto pet-sitting service.

What about birds, rabbits, ferrets, and other pets?

Different protocols. Birds especially — we move bird cages out of the room before any cleaning, ventilate aggressively, and use only steam and water in the bird's room (no chemical cleaners). Rabbits and ferrets are more like cats from a chemistry standpoint (avoid phenols). Ferret odour specifically requires aggressive enzyme treatment of the entire pen area. Tell us your pets when you book and we'll adjust the protocol.

How do I reduce pet hair between cleans?

Three habits: brush your pet outside, not inside. Wash bedding (the pet's bedding and yours) weekly. Run a robot vacuum daily on a schedule — even a basic one captures the daily shed before it embeds. We have clients with three dogs whose homes look almost hair-free at our visits, and they all run a robot vacuum on a daily schedule.

Do you charge more for pet households?

A small premium, yes — typically 10 to 40 percent more time per visit depending on number of pets, size of pets, and shedding profile. We don't charge more per hour; pet households just take more hours. The estimate we give you is a ceiling, and if the work goes faster, the invoice is lower.


What to do next

If you have a pet household in Toronto and your current cleaning service isn't getting the hair out of the couch, the smell out of the carpet, or the dander out of the air, book a pet-household deep clean. It's the reset that gets the home to a baseline maintenance can hold. Six to ten hours, two cleaners, full enzyme and HEPA protocol.

Book at cleanpapi.ca/booking — or see pricing first if you want a ballpark before booking. Tell us how many pets, what kind, and any specifics (allergies, sensitivities, accident history, problem rooms). We'll call within 24 hours with a written estimate.

If you're moving with pets — or moving out of a long-term pet home — book the move-out clean far enough in advance that we can do the proper enzyme treatment without rushing. Our move-out cleaning checklist walks through the timing.
