Tips to remove your pet’s hair
There is no better companion than your dog or kitten, they are adorable, affectionate, they accompany us and brighten up our lives, but they shed hair! If your dog or cat leaves their mark everywhere, don't worry! Here's how to clean it up.
Hair loss is natural in animals and it's worse when it's hot. Therefore, if we don't clean the house often, our pets' hair will be everywhere and, even worse, whoever comes to visit us will take them as a souvenir on their clothes. This, besides making us look untidy, becomes a nest of allergens and dust that can affect our family's health.
The best thing to do is to vacuum. You should do it at least twice a week. There are special vacuum cleaner accessories for cleaning pet hair that will help you reach the most difficult corners.
Another option is to buy a portable one, those handheld ones, which are ideal for cleaning furniture. Super practical to solve the problem quickly! In any case, you should empty the vacuum cleaner bag often and clean its brushes and accessories so that it works perfectly.
Another tip would be to use a damp mop. If your floor is tile, ideally, after sweeping, you should clean it every day with a damp mop.
In this case, do not forget the roller, it is used to remove lint from clothes, they are cheap and very practical. You can use them to clean sofas and cushions quickly and easily. In supermarkets and household goods stores you will find different models, disposable or washable.
Be creative! If you don't have any of these items on hand, you can use tape. Wrap it around your hand, sticky side out, and gently rub the surface to be cleaned.
To make it easier to remove hair from clothes and carpets that you usually wash in the washing machine, a quick remedy is to pre-treat the fabrics. Fill a spray bottle with water and a few drops of fabric softener.
It's normal that we love to cuddle with our pets on the couch to watch a movie or read a little. They are an important part of the family and we love them dearly, but what can we do with all the hair they shed?
The best thing to do is to brush our dog or cat every day. In this way, we remove the hair before it falls out. This will also strengthen the bond between us and our pet, who will feel loved and protected. Many dogs and cats love to be brushed. Even they themselves are the ones who ask us to do it.
Another thing you should do is to clean regularly. Do not allow hair to accumulate on couches and carpets, because it sticks very easily to the fiber of the fabrics and once this happens it will be more difficult to clean.
When you sweep the hairs escape everywhere, so it is the damp mop that will be in charge of leaving everything impeccable because the hairs stick to it. Like microfiber cloths, they trap dirt, so they are ideal for deep cleaning.
The clothes brush will be your great ally. A clothes brush or a coarse-bristled hair brush will help you remove hair from armchairs, cushions and clothing. Just use it gently. It is best to use it before vacuuming to "detach" the hairs from the surfaces and make cleaning easier.
