How to Help Eliminate Pet Fur
1. Find the Source
Frequent grooming of your pets can significantly reduce the amount of fur in your apartment, helping to keep your home cleaner and more comfortable while also promoting healthier coats for your furry friends.
2. Use a Rubber Glove
Put on a slightly damp rubber glove and gently rub your hand along any fur-covered surfaces. The moisture helps lift the fur, making it easier to remove. Simply rinse the glove when it gets too full of fur, and continue until all surfaces are fur-free.
3. Carpeted Floors
Use a semi-hard bristled brush to gently loosen and lift any deeply embedded fur from your furniture or carpet. Once the fur is loosened, vacuum it up to keep your space clean and free of pet hair.
4. Hardwood Floors
Use a microfiber dry mop to easily collect and trap all the pet fur on your floors. Its fine fibers attract and hold onto fur, leaving your floors clean and fur-free without the need for heavy cleaning equipment.
5. Wash Pet Bedding Regularly
Pet bedding, including blankets, cushions, and pet beds, can easily trap a significant amount of fur over time. If not cleaned regularly, this fur can spread throughout your home, contributing to a buildup of pet hair on other surfaces. To prevent this, be sure to wash these bedding items frequently—at least once a week, or more often if your pet sheds a lot.
