Clean your home

However, what can you do to clean shed fur?

When we share space with a pet dog or cat carrying their hair is inevitable. I am here with smart hacks for saving hassles for you.

Rubber gloves are your mate. Put the gloves on. Rub it over the fur-covered surface of your leatherette. Wash off the gloves. Repeat the process until the surface becomes hair free.

To clean upholstery fabric, a mix of fabric softener and water would do the trick. Spray the solution and wipe. Spray with anti-static spray on the wooden furniture and wipe off to drop any hair.

Cleaning the floor

The first suggestion you will find around is vacuuming. Before switching the machine on dust some baking soda on the carpet. It will not only loosen hair but also removes the foul odor. Now run the cleaner from both the directions one after another. You will be surprised to see the extra hair that might have not ordinarily pulled out by a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning the floor by a vacuum cleaner

Can vacuuming alone remove pet hair from carpets and rugs?

No, you are an efficient home manager. Use the trick that you use to get rid of dead skin cells. Rub pumice stone gently over the surface. The shed comes out with every stroke of the friction. To deal with the darken edges and corners of the carpet put on the rubber glove, wet it, and rub the fingers across the area between borders and the baseboard.

This special electrostatic mop can reduce labor to clean hard floor. Attach a microfiber cloth in place of Swiffer head. Also, clothes?

Recall the science lesson about the static charge, where you used to rub an inflated balloon on hair to generate a charge. The rubber glove method we used earlier works well for cleaning clothes too.
