The Ultimate Guide to Pet Hair Cleaning: Keep Your Home Hair-Free
Pets bring companionship and unconditional love, but they also bring pet hair. Whether dog or cat, pet hair can quickly take over your home, making it harder to keep things clean. At Lancaster Cleaning Co, we understand the struggle (our Australian Shepard has SO much hair!). That’s why we’ve put together this guide on effective pet hair cleaning and how professional house cleaning services can help you keep your space hair-free.
Why Is Pet Hair A Problem?
Pet hair doesn’t just collect on couches and carpets, it gets everywhere. It clogs air filters, causes allergies, and clings to clothing and furniture. Unfortunately, regular vacuuming isn’t always enough to keep up with it.
If you're a pet owner, consistent cleaning specifically targeting pet hair is essential for both your health and the cleanliness of your home.
Top Pet Hair Cleaning Tips
1. Invest in a High-Quality Vacuum
Look for vacuums specifically designed for pet hair. Features like HEPA filters and tangle-free brush rolls can make a big difference in lifting embedded fur from carpets and rugs. Additionally, vacuum maintenance is just as important as having the correct vacuum. Without proper maintenance pet hair can quickly reduce your vacuums suction and clog brush rolls.
2. Use Rubber Gloves or Squeegees
For small, quick cleanups on furniture or car interiors, rubber gloves can work wonders. Dampen them slightly and run your hand over surfaces. Hair will cling to the glove allowing for quick and easy disposal.
3. Wash Pet Bedding Regularly
Pet beds are hair magnets, and yet often overlooked. Wash them regularly to remove hair, dander, and odors.
4. Brush Your Pet Often
One of the best ways to reduce shedding in your home is to brush your pet regularly. This limits the amount of loose fur potentially dropped indoors. Consult a professional in your breed to discuss how often they should be brushed.
5. Use A Hair Broom
Hair brooms are great at remove hair from practically any surface. The rubber bristles act like a pet hair magnet (kind of like rubber gloves and squeegees previously mentioned!) and won't scratch hardwood floors. For carpet fur removal, pull the broom in short, sharp strokes to bring embedded hair to the surface of the carpet that even the most expensive vacuums lack the ability to pick up.
