4 Quick Pet Hair Removal Tricks for Pet Owners

Ah, pets. Sweet little fur babies that make you laugh, teach you endless patience, and statistically lower your high blood pressure from a single stroke of their fur. They give us so much love, attention…and an awful lot of hair. Especially all over your black pants right as you need to leave for an important event. If you’re getting sick and tired of having to buy yet another lint brush or using sticky tape all over your couch just isn’t cutting it, we are here to help you out. Here are our top-secret tricks to removing dog, cat, or any other kind of pet hair.

In a Rush? Grab a Brush.

Let’s say you’re running out the door, late for an important meeting, when you glance down and see that once again, your cat has chosen your pants for his or her ultimate sleeping spot. Fear not, the OXO Fur Lifter has got your back. And front. The Fur Lifter is a brush that picks up hair quickly and holds onto the hair until you push it back into the cleaning base. The OXO Fur Lifter keeps the hair inside the container, instead of on your pants. The bristles are soft and won’t tug at your clothes, unlike other brushes that have rubber bristles. It is small enough to fit into any purse or backpack, and you can open the base anytime to empty the hair in a nearby garbage can. It’s a total lifesaver.

What’s the Smartest Way to Get Rid of Pet Hair?

What’s the smartest way to get rid of pet hair? The number one answer is: it’s all about prevention. For days that you have more time on your hands and want to bond with your furry loved one, the Furminator Brush is your second-best friend. This brush is the highest rated pet brush on Amazon, and for good reason. The stainless steel bristles are designed to rake away the top layer of your pet’s hair, which keeps them happy because their sensitive skin is protected and feels like they are getting a nice massage. It has five different sizes, perfect for a tiny kitty or Great Dane. And you can order a brush specifically for short hair or long hair. They’ll come trotting right up to you every time you break it out.

Does Dryer Remove Pet Hair with Damage Control?

For moments when you look down at your bedspread or favorite blanket and can see the outline of where your pet regularly sleeps, here’s our little magic trick. Rather than spend extra time washing and drying your favorite blanket, try this: stick your comforter or blanket in the dryer, empty your lint tray, and set your dryer to the “air dry only” setting for an hour. You’ll be stunned at how much hair comes out in the lint tray. You won’t have to worry about your mom’s handmade crochet work becoming overheated and ruined, and it cuts down your cleaning time in half. Plus, your cat can enjoy a little ride on the dryer while his or her favorite blanket gets nice and clean. You’re welcome!

For the Biggest Challenges

These are all tips that you can handle by yourself. But let’s face it, some chores are just too much to handle on your own. Like constantly vacuuming up pet hair from your floors. That battle is like pushing a boulder up a hill, with no end in sight. Thankfully, a robot vacuum doesn’t mind helping you out. Running your robot vacuum once a day will make a huge difference to your home. If you have more than one pet, it’s a good idea to use your vacuum multiple times a day to keep your home spotless. Also, having a robot vacuum with a built-in mop is fantastic for picking up dander and every last piece of dust. If you need to keep your pets indoors, a robot vacuum is great at getting all the tight edges that normally go unchecked and lets you breathe easier during allergy season. Roborock has some great resources for robot vacuums and you can find a model that is whisper-quiet for any pet that panics at loud noises.
