Pets are family. Sometimes we tend to get so tied up in
their cute looks that we let them get away with turning our homes into disaster
zones. Especially with dog breeds such as huskys, german shepherds, akitas and
more tend to shed heavily. Sometimes this shedding can become so bad that you
just stop caring about it and allow your house to be a happy hairy mess!
Here are some tips you can use every day to help cut down on
the fur build up on your upholstery:
The most obvious choice I would suggest would be lint
rollers. These are relatively cheap and highly effective in removing animal
hair from upholstery as well as carpets. If you use these on a daily basis you
will find that the process will get faster and easier each day.
One tool that some people seem to look over is a good pair
of rubber gloves. Moisten the gloves and simply wipe across the areas that are
covered in fur and you will find that the water makes the fur heavier and
easier to clump and dispose of. If your gloves are good, you will find that
this is the cheapest way of preventing fur build up because you can reuse the
gloves for this purpose again and again!
Now, remember how when you were a kid and you would rub a
balloon on your friends head and it would stick to their hair due to the static
electricity? The same concept can be applied to dog and cat hair on your couch!
If you happen to have a bag of balloons laying around and want a fun way to
remove pet hair that your kids can help with this is a great method. Simply
blow up the balloon, rub it on the area that is covered with hair and the hair
will stick to the balloon, and not your couch!
There are many different out of the box methods to make
cleaning pet hair a little less monotonous. Remember though, Dan Dan The Carpet
