How to Combat Excess Pet Hair in Your Home
If you’re fighting a never-ending battle against pet hair, this guide’s got your back. Let’s dive into some detailed strategies to keep that fuzz at bay.
1. Rubber Glove Magic
You’ve used them to wash dishes, but did you know rubber gloves can be pet hair’s nemesis? Slightly dampen a pair, then run your hands over fabric surfaces like sofas or chairs. The pet hair will clump up, making it easier to grab.

2. The Squeegee Technique
Ever thought a window cleaning tool would become the ultimate solution to excess pet hair? A squeegee’s rubber blade is a champ at pulling pet hair out from carpets. Just drag it along, and you’ll be amazed at all the stubbornly clinging-on fur it collects.

3. DIY Fabric Softener Solution
We’re all about making it easy on the pocket. Mix equal parts water and fabric softener in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto your carpet and then vacuum. The solution helps loosen the pet hair, making it easier for the vacuum to suck up. Plus, it leaves a fresh scent!

4. Invest in a Specialized Pet Hair Vacuum
Standard vacuums might not cut it. Consider investing in one specifically designed for pet hair. These come with enhanced suction and specialized attachments, ensuring that no hair goes unnoticed.
5. Use Dryer Sheets on Baseboards
Pet hair has an uncanny ability to stick to baseboards. Here’s where dryer sheets come in handy. Swipe the baseboards with dryer sheets. Not only do these sheets pick up the hair, but their anti-static properties also repel future dust and fur.
While our furry friends are an absolute delight, their shedding isn’t. With these specialized techniques, you can make your living space a lot less hairy and a lot more cozy.
Remember, if all this sounds like a hairy situation you’d rather not tackle, give us a shout. We’re here to make your home shine. Happy Cleaning!
