Rid Your Home and Clothing of Pet Hair
If you have a pet, then your biggest dilemma when cleaning the house is probably pet hair sticking to furniture and carpets. You can never eliminate hair completely, but you can help to reduce it. If you want quick and easy solutions to control pet hair, then follow these tips.
Your Pet
The first place to start is with your pet. The more hair you can get rid of with brushing, the less there'll be on your furniture and carpets. Brush your dog or cat at least once a week, more often if you have a long haired pet. Cats usually like being brushed, and this will control the amount of shedding. Wash your cat with a shampoo that doesn't require rinsing, if they don't like a bath. Most dogs enjoy a bath, so do this regularly to remove more hair.
Vacuuming and Sweeping
Vacuum carpets everyday and use the attachments for furniture and curtains. It's surprising how much pet hair will hide behind the couch, if you haven't looked there for a while. Vacuum these areas regularly, and any other places that attract hair. A hand-held vacuum cleaner is useful when you're in a hurry or expecting visitors. If you have wooden floors, sweep these areas, and use a duster mop once a week to pick up any further hairs.
Lint Rollers and Brushes
Lint rollers and brushes are good for removing hair from clothing and fabric on chairs and cushions. Sticky sheets are effective at cleaning hair from jackets and trousers etc.
