Top Tools & Tips for Managing Pet Hair in Your Home
March 26, 2025
If you have furry friends, you know that pet hair can quickly take over your home. Whether it’s clinging to furniture, floating across floors, or hiding in corners, keeping pet hair under control can feel like a constant battle. Luckily, with the right tools and strategies, you can enjoy a clean home without sacrificing snuggles with your pets. Here are our top tools and tips for managing pet hair in your home.
1. Invest in a Quality Vacuum Cleaner
Not all vacuums are created equal when it comes to tackling pet hair. Look for a vacuum specifically designed for pet owners, preferably with a HEPA filter and strong suction power. Models with brush rolls or rubber attachments can help lift embedded fur from carpets and upholstery.
2. Use a Rubber Squeegee or Glove
A rubber squeegee can work wonders on carpets and rugs, lifting pet hair that vacuums often miss. Similarly, a damp rubber glove can easily attract and gather fur from furniture and fabric surfaces—just run your hand over the area and watch the hair cling to it!
3. Keep Up with Grooming
One of the best ways to reduce pet hair in your home is to tackle it at the source. Regular brushing, especially with a de-shedding tool, can significantly reduce loose hair. Bathing your pet occasionally also helps to keep shedding under control.
4. Wash Pet Bedding and Soft Surfaces Regularly
Pet hair clings to fabrics, so frequently washing your pet’s bedding, blankets, and soft furniture covers can prevent buildup. When drying, adding a dryer sheet or wool dryer balls can help lift fur off fabrics.
5. Utilize Microfiber and Anti-Static Cloths
Instead of pushing pet hair around, microfiber cloths and anti-static dusters help trap fur, making it easier to remove from surfaces like baseboards, shelves, and electronics.
6. Try a Robot Vacuum for Daily Maintenance
If pet hair accumulates quickly, a robot vacuum can be a lifesaver. Set it to run daily, and it will help keep floors fur-free with minimal effort on your part.
7. Lint Rollers & Sticky Tape for Quick Fixes
Keep a lint roller or wide sticky tape handy for a fast cleanup before guests arrive. These are perfect for removing pet hair from clothing, upholstery, and even lampshades.
