Cleaning and Pet Hair

Housekeeping is labor intensive work and pet hair can quickly clog the vacuum, stick to your furniture and of course, clothing. There are tons of tools to clean off the pet hair but it can be a daunting task if you don't like deep cleaning. Don't want to do it? Call us! We have years of experience in deep clean Housekeeping.

Now back to telling you how to do it.

If you have a sticky roller to remove pet hair from furniture then get ready to roll but if not, use a damp microfiber cloth. They're inexpensive at Walgreen's and at last check they sold for three for $1.00 and work faster and better then sticky rollers.
Start at the top and work you're way down to the bottom making sure not to miss any part of the furniture while rolling the fur to the floor. Microfiber cloths capture and tend to roll the fur in clumps which is great for final cleaning.
If you have area rugs with thick fur, use the same microfiber cloth. They really do a great job. Even better then a vacuum.

Now that you've gotten the fur off your furniture bring out the vacuum.
If its hardwood your cleaning use the attachment without the brushes.
Be sure not to miss the baseboards and behind the furniture where the fur bunches hide.
Note: Fur gathers under and behind appliances causing lower efficiency. Use a wet vac there.
