Oftentimes, unless your pets are furless (and some breeds are!) no matter how often you clean your home, or even if you have a daily home cleaning service, you’ll never be able to stop some pet hair from invading your home. However, there are a number of simple things you can do to keep it to a bare minimum, and some of them are listed below:
Make grooming a regular thing
For long haired pets, regular grooming is essential for keeping pet hair to a minimum, and by brushing them outside every day, you can ensure that loose hair stays off of your furniture, floors and rugs.
When your pet is going through their shedding cycle, however, it’s important to try and groom them twice a day, to really keep on top of the problem.
Bathe your pets
Bathing your pets is a great way of reducing the amount of hair they’ll shed every day, but it’s also important not to over bathe them. For the best guidance, talk to your local vet and see what they suggest for your particular breed of dog.
Wash their bedding
Pet beds and blankets always attract fur, and often plenty of other dirt, dust and debris, too! To prevent pet hair from being transmitted around the home every time your pet gets in and out of their bed, shake the bedding out regularly and wash both the bedding and bed as often as needed, but at least once every two weeks, depending on how grubby and smelly they get.
Hire a cleaner
A cleaning service is one of the most effective ways to stay on top of pet hair and limit it’s presence in your home. They can come in daily, weekly or at a personalized schedule that suits you, and clean your home from top to bottom.
Clean your carpets
While you can’t always see pet hair on your carpets or rugs, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s there! Transferring it around the entire home is all too easy on the bottom of your feet or shoes, but by regularly vacuuming your carpets and rugs, you can suck it up before it becomes a problem.
A fur-free home might not be within the realms of possibility – even with the help of a regular cleaning service – but reducing it so that it’s barely noticeable, absolutely is, provided you follow the above tips.
