Air Purifiers With HEPA Filter

Purchasing an air purifier with a HEPA filter is another great option for removing pet hair and other allergens.

While not intentional, our beloved furry friends can produce nasty allergens like pet dander that can become airborne and trigger allergic reactions.

Although regularly grooming and bathing our pets can help, it doesn't necessarily prevent these allergens from travelling through the air, which is why an air purifier is a highly effective solution.

Special Tip: HEPA filters are fantastic for capturing tiny particles as small as 0.3 microns, including pet dander, pollen and mould spores. This applies to not only air purifiers but also vacuum cleaners.

Cleaning Fur On Hard Floors

In addition to vacuuming, the following are some tips to help you keep your hard floors free from pet hair:

• Rubber Broom: Rubber actually attracts pet hair. Sweep your floor with a rubber broom, and then run the broom along the walls to trap hair on the trim. Rinse the broom to get rid of any hard-to-remove hair.
• Damp Microfiber Mop: If you don't fancy firing up the vacuum, a damp microfiber mop can be an excellent alternative. Attach the microfiber pad to the mop, dampen it and mop the floor.
• Use Window Squeegees: In lieu of a rubber broom, you can also use a window squeegee with a long handle for a similar effect.

Furniture and Upholstery

Unfortunately, our furry friends love lounging around on our upholstery, leaving behind a trail of fur that can be tricky to remove. Consider using tools like FURemover's Pet Hair Removal & Lint Brush or an upholstery brush attachment for your vacuum to clean your couch and chairs effectively.

Pet Hair On Bedding

For better or worse, our beloved pets' affection also extends to our bedding, which leaves behind unwanted hair on blankets, sheets and pillows. Washing your bedding weekly helps to keep your bed fur-free as well as smelling great, ensuring a great night's sleep for both you and your furry companions.

Fur On Flat Surfaces

Pet hair doesn't just stick to your carpet and furniture; it also finds its way onto flat surfaces like coffee tables, benchtops and shelves. To combat this, try dusting at least twice a week to quickly pick up pet hair that may be lingering on various flat surfaces.

Final Thoughts 

Keeping your home clean and fur-free can be a manageable task, even for those of us who are time-poor. By incorporating these quick and efficient pet hair management tips into your daily routine, you can spend less time cleaning and more time cherishing the love and companionship of your furry friends.
