Sensory Solutions for Urban Living

City life brings energy, excitement—and a lot of noise. For our neurodivergent neighbors, that constant buzz can turn a regular day into a sensory minefield. At Punk Rabbit Urban Cleaning & Pet Care, we know that a clean home is just the start. Here’s how you can create a haven of calm, even when the city outside is anything but quiet.

1. Block the Noise—Your Way

Noise-canceling headphones and soft earplugs are your best friends for blocking out sirens, construction, or that neighbor’s endless playlist. Keep a pair handy by the door or in your go-bag so you’re always prepared for unexpected noise spikes.

2. Transform Your Space into a Sound Sanctuary

Add sound-dampening curtains and plush rugs to absorb echoes and street noise.
Try rearranging your furniture to create cozy nooks away from windows and busy streets.
If you’re booking a cleaning with us, let us know if you prefer quieter, fragrance-free products or need us to avoid certain rooms during sensitive times—we log every preference for a truly sensory-safe experience.

3. Find Your Frequency

White noise machines or soothing playlists can help mask harsh city sounds. Experiment with different sounds—rain, ocean waves, or gentle static—to find what calms your mind the most.

4. Nature Breaks—Even in the City

A quick walk in a nearby park or tending to a few houseplants can help reset your senses. If you have pets, schedule regular outdoor time together; it’s a win for both of you.

5. Visual Cues and Predictable Routines

Use visual schedules or simple checklists to plan your day and prepare for noisy periods.
At Punk Rabbit, we offer downloadable ADHD-friendly tidy checklists based on your service schedule to keep routines simple and stress-free.

6. Grounding Techniques for Overload Moments

When city noise gets overwhelming, try deep breathing, grounding exercises, or a favorite fidget toy. Weighted blankets or soft textures can also offer comfort and help you regain your calm.

7. Communicate and Advocate

Let your household, friends, or coworkers know about your sensory needs. Whether you need a quiet hour during cleaning or a heads-up before vacuuming, clear communication helps everyone thrive.

8. Support from Your Cleaning Crew

Our team at Punk Rabbit Urban Cleaning is trained to recognize and respect neurodivergent needs. From fragrance-free products to quiet cleaning tools, we customize every visit for your comfort. If you or your pet is sensitive to noise, we’ll adjust our schedule or use gentler equipment—just let us know!

You deserve a home that feels safe and soothing, no matter how loud the world outside gets. If you’re ready to experience cleaning that puts your sensory needs first, reach out to Punk Rabbit Urban Cleaning & Pet Care—we’re here to help you find your peace in the city.
