Pet hair can be very annoying if it gets on clothes, carpets, furniture, and upholstery. Of course, this doesn't mean you have to start avoiding your pet. Just clean the annoying bristles! There are many ways you can clean your pet's hair, some of the easiest of which are water, sticky objects, and static electricity. Preventing pet dander will also help prevent this problem in the long run.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Water
Step 1. Wet your palms in a bowl of water
Rub it into the pet's fur moving it down. Pet hair will clump together and stick to your wet hands. The water will make the feathers wet and heavier. This way, the fluff won't be able to stick to your pants (or any surface you're cleaning) because of the static electricity.
Step 2. Wet a regular clean kitchen sponge
Use a mop sponge if you are going to clean the floor carpet. In such a case, vacuum the floor first until it is clean. Then wipe the sponge over the surface of the fabric, upholstery, or carpet. Your pet's hair should be clumped together so you can pick it up by hand.
Method 2 of 4: Sticky Things
Step 1. Rub the Velcro roller over the surface of the object to clean the fur
If there is a metal rod inside the roller, you can bend it to reach the corner area.
Step 2. Use masking tape to remove some of the hair
Simply wrap the tape with the adhesive side pointing outward in your hand, then rub it over the area where the hair is strewn.
Method 3 of 4: Static Electricity
Step 1. Put on latex gloves
Apply it to where the hairs are scattered. Pet hair should stick to the gloves. You can also use rubber gloves or garden gloves with rubberized soles. A rubber bristle broom can also be used to clean the fur on the floor. Simply dampen the glove or rubber surface to increase the cleaning effectiveness.
Step 2. Blow up a balloon
Apply it to where the hairs are scattered. The static charge on the surface of the balloon will attract animal hair (and even your hair too) so it can be collected. You can reuse the balloons to clean the fur again.
Step 3. Use a rubber broom
This tool is very effective for cleaning stubborn pet hair that sticks to all types of surfaces. The static charge on the broom's bristles will make the pet's hair "jump" at it.
Step 4. Use the rubber sole
Wear rubber-soled shoes such as cowboy boots (which are still clean), sports shoes, etc. Wearing shoes is the easiest option. Just put your foot on the fur-soaked rug and it will all stick to your shoes. All you have to do is take a clump of fur and put it in the trash.
Step 5. Use fabric softener
Fabric softener in the form of sheets that are usually placed in a dryer can be used to clean pet hair. You can also spray a mixture of fabric softener and water to prepare the area to be cleaned before using any other method.
Method 4 of 4: Preventing Feather Piles
Step 1. Consider taking precautions
Place clothes in an area out of reach of pets or trim your pet's hair regularly to reduce shedding. You should also vacuum carpets and furniture, and wash carpets and upholstery that your pets come into contact with regularly.
Tips
- A cloth cleaning roller and duct-lined hands can also be used. It's just that you have to apply a new coat after each swipe. As a result, this method is more wasteful than the other methods above.
- Use paper duct tape. They're relatively inexpensive, and all you have to do is tear off, glue the ends together, and then rub them on clothes or other surfaces to clean pet hair.
- Try using the soles of sports shoes. Just rub it on the dirty area and watch the bristles lift!
- The red and black cleaning brushes are also great for cleaning most dog and cat hair.
- In the office, the adhesive side of masking tape can be made into a hair removal tool.
- Put your clothes in the washer and dryer along with the dryer sheets. Once your clothes are clean, dry them. Be careful that on dark clothes, spots such as grease stains are easy to develop if there are no other clothes in the dryer. (Sometimes, this method doesn't work because the dryer sheets don't cover the entire surface of the garment. So try other methods, one of which will work).
- Combing your pet's hair and giving it a coat supplement can help reduce hair loss.
- A good diet and grooming will greatly reduce your pet's book loss and help prevent flaking and shedding due to nutritional deficiencies. Never bathe your dog more than once a month (and even less so for some dog breeds), or the coat will dry out and fall out more easily.
- Dogs with allergies that are left untreated often leave more hair and skin flakes on furniture.
- Use a squeegee, which is a rubber-edged knife (usually used to clean windows) to clean furniture and carpet from fur.
