How to clean pet hair

The first step in these house cleaning tips is always to vacuum. Vacuuming will not remove all of the hair, but it will decrease the amount by a lot. If you have a vacuum cleaner specifically designed for pet hair, it will have a stronger suction and thus remove more of the hair.

  • The next thing that I have found to work well is a squeegee. These have long handles with a rubber end used for removing water off windows. By running the squeegee along the carpet like the vacuum, the hair will stick the rubber and collect for easy removal by vacuuming or just picking up.

  • If you do not have a squeegee, another thing that works well is a kitchen sponge. Make sure the sponge is clean and do not reuse in the kitchen after use. The sponge needs to be slightly damp, and you can attach it to a mop or just run it over the carpet with your hands. The sponge has the same effect as the squeegee, the hair will collect together, and you can remove it.

  • Another simple thing to use, but it might be a little more time consuming is tape. The adhesive side of the tape will pick up the hair. However, it is harder to dig deeper into the carpet than with a squeegee because it is more challenging to apply as much pressure.
