Living with Pets, Minus the Pet Hair

Living with pets is the best — until the fur takes over.

Whether you share your home with a golden retriever who sheds year-round or a short-haired cat who somehow leaves hair everywhere, managing pet fur doesn’t have to be an endless battle. With a few simple habits (and the right tools), keeping your home fresh gets much easier.

Vacuum Strategically — Not Constantly

Instead of waiting for the fur tumbleweeds to build up, aim for short, frequent cleanings. A lightweight cordless vacuum makes this easy — especially one that can reach the corners, baseboards, and under the bed where pet hair settles.

Wash What They Touch

Most Pet beds, blankets, and sofa throws quietly trap huge amounts of hair and dander. Wash them weekly with an unscented detergent to keep allergens down.

Use the Right Brush for Your Pet

A quick daily brush can remove up to 90% of the hair before it hits the floor. Slicker brushes work well for long-haired dogs; rubber brushes are best for short hair.

Keep High-Traffic Areas Clear

Entryways, hallways, and your pet’s favourite nap spot collect the most fur. A 2-minute daily vacuum in these areas can make your whole home feel cleaner.

Fur Happens — But It Doesn’t Have to Take Over

With the right routine and a few smart tools, pet hair management becomes simple and stress-free — and your home feels fresher every day.
