The Science of the Sniff: Why Pet-Safe Cleaning Matters in Dog-Friendly Workplaces

Pawsome refresh square no tagline3

Dog-friendly offices are more popular than ever - boosting morale, reducing stress, and bringing a whole new level of joy to the 9-to-5. But what many businesses overlook is how important pet-safe cleaning is when you’ve got paws on the floor.

At Jani-King, we don’t just clean for people, we clean for pets too. With the help of our Eco-benign® probiotic cleaning products, we make sure your workspace is safe, sustainable, and stress-free… for both two-legged and four-legged staff.

Dogs Experience the World Through Their Nose

Dogs have up to 300 million olfactory receptors, compared to our humble human 5–6 million. That means your office pup can detect the faintest trace of odour, even cleaning residues you can’t see or smell.

Traditional cleaning products like bleach, ammonia, and disinfectants can:

  • Overwhelm a dog’s sensitive nose
  • Trigger sneezing, eye irritation, or skin issues
  • Leave behind harmful residues they may lick or sniff up

This is especially true in shared office spaces, where floors, bins, and furniture are often hotspots for curious canine sniffing.

“Clean” Doesn’t Need to Smell Like Chemicals

We’ve been conditioned to believe that citrus and bleach smells = cleanliness. But in reality, strong artificial fragrances often mask odours rather than eliminate the root cause.

With Eco-benign® probiotics, Jani-King offers a different approach:

  • No synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals
  • Breaks down bacteria and organic matter at the source
  • Continues cleaning at a microscopic level for hours after application

This means less odour, less risk, and a genuinely cleaner space, without making your dog feel like they’ve walked into a chemical factory.

What Are Probiotic Cleaners and Why Are They Better?

Probiotic cleaners use live, beneficial bacteria that target grime, organic waste, and biofilms on surfaces. Unlike harsh chemicals that stop working the second they dry, probiotics keep cleaning long after application.

Benefits for a dog-friendly workplace:

  • Non-toxic and pet safe
  • Improves indoor air quality
  • Reduces allergens and irritants
  • Safe for sensitive skin, paws, and sniffers

When it comes to maintaining a healthy, hygienic, pet-friendly office, nothing beats probiotics.

Safe for Pets, Powerful for Workspaces

At Jani-King, we clean for pet safety and workplace wellness. Whether it’s muddy paw prints, fur build-up, or the occasional accident, our trained teams know how to keep your space spotless, without compromising your furry coworkers' health.
