4 Ways To Control Pet Hair In Your Home

Keeping on top of the housework can be increasingly difficult, especially when you have kids or pets in the house. Thankfully, there are ways you can make life easier for yourself. With a housework rota that everybody in your household can use and these tips on cutting down your clutter, it is possible to take the ‘chore’ out of your household chores. 

You can also use the following tips if you have a problem with pet hair in your home, so fear not if your dogs or cats are continually shedding their fur. 

#1: Change your pet’s diet

Believe it no not, a change of diet could make all the difference. When pets leave clumps of hair in their wake, it is sometimes because their coat isn’t as healthy as it should be. Adequate amounts of fat and natural protein can work wonders if you can find ways to incorporate them into your pet’s diet, so think about changing their meal plan. Here’s are some of the foods you might consider for your dog but continue your research online if you have a cat living at home with you. 

#2: Use the right cleaning tools

You know where your pets have been sitting because there will usually be a telltale clump of hair in their wake. Still, you don’t need to spend an age picking at the hair trying to remove every last strand as there are products available that can make light work of the problem. We are thinking of vacuum cleaners that come with special nozzles for pet hair, for example, and the pet hair lifters that can be bought from most supermarkets and pet stores. Then there’s the Schticky, the reusable lint roller advertised by Vince Offer, which can make light work of your pet hair problem. So, shop around and stock your home with all the right cleaning essentials. 

#3: Groom your pet regularly

One of the best ways to control your pet’s shedding is to groom them regularly. This is good for their hair and skin anyway so it is something you should do every day or two if you can. There are lots of grooming tools on the market and your local vet or pet store owner will be able to advise you further. There are some tips here on grooming your dog’s fur, but if you have a cat, look online for further tips. 

#4: Change your furniture 

If you’re tired of pet hair on your furniture, you have a few options. You could cover your chairs with blankets and then shake these off when your pet has finally scarpered. Or you could stop your cats and dogs from using your furniture in the first place. This is easier said than done, of course, and chances are, you might enjoy evenings with your pet curled up on the sofa. Your other option is to change your furniture as some fabrics are more resistant to pet hair than others. Leather and microsuede are particularly good but there are some more examples in the linked article. 

These are just a few of the ways to control pet hair in your home so if you have cats and dogs living with you, consider our suggestions to make life easier for yourself.
