Having a dog in your house is a true love/hate relationship. You adore them due to their unconditional love, but you hate them because they leave a good deal of litter and pet hair! There are 83.3 million dogs and 95.6 million cats in American families and these numbers will continue to grow. What do those numbers mean? I mentioned those figures because these are the number of individuals risk to have asthma or any respiratory disease because of exposure to pet hair along with other contaminants from all of these animals. Maybe one of the biggest challenges that a pet owner has will be cleaning up pet hair.
It is all over the area – the couch, bed, seat, rugs, carpeting, etc. And we are not speaking about shedding season! A cord-less vacuum is great because it’ll literally clean anywhere. It’s not going to the most powerful tool to clean up because the true power is in a pet robot vacuum.
The first thing to look for is a pet hair tool and each manufacturer may have its own design. The most typical tool for this is really a motorized brush that sweeps up pet hair. Others brands will use agitation – Black & Decker uses this in one of their handheld models. One big advantage agitation has over a beater bar could be the time necessary for upkeep. You’d want to remove the motorized brush and then cut out hair and dander build up. This may take time however these tools are far much more efficient so there’s a give and take here.
