Having a pet—a cat—is, first and foremost, a joy to be with. It's a joy to know your animal is attached to you, to understand each other, to care for and pet it, and to see how happy it is.
Unfortunately, cleaning up cat hair in your apartment isn't exactly a pleasant task, but these 5 ways to get rid of it will make the job quick and easy.
Vacuum wall shelves and furniture
The first step in a comprehensive cleaning is vacuuming. Vacuuming should be done not only on upholstered furniture but also on hard floors. The vacuum's powerful suction can capture hair even in hard-to-reach places where wet cleaning isn't always possible (or necessary). Such places include hanging shelves where books or decorative items might be kept.
Use tape
A brilliant invention, it has many uses beyond its primary purpose. Cleaning is no exception. A strip of wide tape is great for lifting lint and cat hair. This tape can be used to clean upholstered furniture, fabric flooring, and clothing.
Daily wet cleaning
Daily wet cleaning may be difficult to develop a habit of, but it truly is the most effective, preventative way to remove pet hair buildup. Daily wet cleaning involves washing hard surfaces (tables, windowsills) and the floor.
Rubber coating on cleaning equipment
Brushes with rubber bristles and window cleaning brushes with rubber surfaces have proven effective. Rubber retains all the lint and hair that a vacuum cleaner or electric broom couldn't pick up, is durable, and is easy to clean, removing debris that can also be rinsed with soapy water.
Antistatic will help prevent wool from sticking to your clothes.
The main purpose of an antistatic agent for furniture is to prevent dust from sticking to it. It's also effective against cat hair. The aerosol is sprayed onto a clean, dry surface, creating an invisible coating and making future cleaning much easier.
Following these simple recommendations will help keep your home clean and prevent possible allergic reactions to pet hair. A clean home where the owner is always welcomed by their beloved pet is a home they always want to return to.
