Finding it hard to keep ahead of your pet’s hair? Does it seem to be taking over your home? Is not knowing how to deal with this hairy mess driving you crazy?

It’s not just you. Millions of fellow pet lovers face this dilemma daily as well. Sometimes it makes you think it’s not just the hair balls, it’s in the air, your couch, floors, clothes and carpets. It’s everywhere. At times it seems there’s nothing much you can do about it

As a matter of fact, you’ll find that cleaning away all the pet hair has become a part of your daily routine. But, there is absolutely no shortage of solutions to stop them from spreading all over the place again.

For one you can brush your dog. A lot! If not daily then at least regularly enough so most of the hair accumulates on the brush rather than being left free to roam anywhere and land everywhere.

Then you can get yourself one of the many pet hair mitts, wipes, or rollers that let you wipe the hair from the upholstery. Or for little to no money you can see if a dampened sponge, fabric softener dryer sheets or rubber gloves might work as well. At least these tools should let you heap the hair into piles for easy disposal.

Vacuum manufactures feel your pain too. And most brands anymore, or so it seems, have a vacuum designed specifically to extract the hair from the carpeting. So if removing the wall to wall carpet isn’t an option, maybe such a wonder machine is. Although if you’re looking for a consensus as to which is clearly best you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.

Then if picking furniture in colors that matches the pet hair isn’t an option there are solutions like sofa covers that claim to make it easy to wash the problem away. Failing that at least go with fabrics that are easier to clean. Microfibers being but one example.

Now more than a few pet lovers are ready to take drastic action. That is get rid of their carpets and go for hardwood flooring. The hair wouldn’t stick on to anything then. And it’s no sweat sweeping the hair up. But is it a worthwhile solution? Like I said it’s a bit drastic. But some are ready to go to great lengths like this to solve the problem.

As you can see solutions to this furry problem our four legged friend present abound. Aside from banishing your beloved pet to life outdoors, which solution is best often comes down to a couple of things. How much you want to spend. And how much time you want to invest in keeping a head of your pet’s lost hair.

As you just read, getting rid of pet hair is no longer that big a deal. But choosing the right vacuum, whether it’s a Dirt Devil, or the Miele Capricorn, or a brand new Hoover can be.
