Tired of Shedding? Follow These 5 Pro Tips to Reduce Pet Hair in Your House by 90%

Having a pet at home definitely makes your life better and happier, but also brings a new set of everyday issues you have to face. Apart from taking good care of your cat or dog, you may also have to take a better care of your house that’s now likely covered with hair.

If you still can’t keep track of the cleaning schedule and have no idea what method will work better, check out these tips that may solve your problem faster.

Brush Your Pet Every Day

It might sound like a tedious work, but this will actually help you get your pet’s hair before it ends up on your house’s floor. Consult a local pet shop to see if there is a specific kind of brushes for thick undercoats and long hair — according to expert Jean Ishii, this is the most effective method while battling the amount of pet hair in the house.

Check Out Different Cleaning Tools

When it comes to pet hair, normal dry cleaning doesn’t work because the hair sticks to the floor due to static electricity. For a better result, consider getting yourself a vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush; combine it with wiping the surfaces with a microfiber cloth, and you’ll see the difference.

Take Humidity Under Control

Dry air makes hair fly around, so use a humidifier or spray water after cleaning to see if there are small hairs that your vacuum cleaner didn’t catch.

Choose Proper Cleaning Tools for Textiles

Different kinds of textiles require different methods of cleaning when it comes to pet hair. For example, sofas and blankets are better cleaned with sticky rollers, while for the carpets you can use a mix of water and fabric softener (in a 10:1 ratio). Spray it all over and then use the vacuum cleaner — you’ll see how easily the hair will come off.

Take Care of Your Pet’s Diet

Healthy fur sheds less, so choose a diet rich in protein, omega-3 and omega-6 for your pet.
