Surely you adore your pet above all. However, the hair of our four-legged friends can be very difficult to remove from clothing, carpets, furniture, or even upholstery. However, you can do this with a little patience and a few everyday items (like cleaning gloves or a vacuum cleaner). Take note of all the steps!
Use a vacuum cleaner and gloves
Vacuum the furniture to collect as much hair as possible. If you don’t have a handheld vacuum, you can use the accessories that traditional vacuum cleaners come with to collect hair or dust in small corners.
Another option is to clean fabric sofas or furniture with a damp rubber glove (such as those commonly used for house cleaning). Wet it with a little water and gently rub the fabric with the glove, as this will allow you to easily collect your pet’s hair. If the glove becomes hairy, rinse it again with water and continue cleaning.
Always have a lint roller on hand
To remove hair from clothing, you could place a lint roller in the driveway so that it can be passed through your clothing before leaving the house. Do not forget to run it over your back and buttocks, since you could collect a lot of hair when sitting on the sofa or bed.
If you don’t have a lint roller, you can also use masking tape. Place the sticky part of the tape on clothing to catch your dog or cat’s hair.
Put your clothes in the dryer before washing them
Pet hair tends to stick to clothing even after washing. Therefore, a good option is to put the clothes in the dryer for five or ten minutes. This way, most of the hair will come off and end up in the lint filter.
After this step, you will have to wash your clothes as usual. Using the fabric softener also helps remove pet fur.
Prevent before cure
If you don’t want to worry about your pet’s hair, the best thing you can do is brush it regularly. In this way, you will avoid excess hair that would have ended up on the furniture or your clothes. Take care of your furry and watch over their fur! Surely he will thank you with lots of pampering and licking.
