The nearly 150 million pet owners in this country are asking themselves the exact same thing I’ll bet. Because it seems there is no where you can escape the stuff. It’s on the sofa.

As a matter of fact, you’ll find that cleaning away all the pet hair has become a part of your daily routine. But, there is absolutely no shortage of solutions to stop them from spreading all over the place again.

For one you can brush your dog. A lot! If not daily then at least regularly enough so most of the hair accumulates on the brush rather than being left free to roam anywhere and land everywhere.

Then you can get yourself one of the many pet hair mitts, wipes, or rollers that let you wipe the hair from the upholstery. Or for little to no money you can see if a dampened sponge, fabric softener dryer sheets or rubber gloves might work as well. At least these tools should let you heap the hair into piles for easy disposal.

So if removing the wall to wall carpet isn’t an option, maybe such a wonder machine is. Although if you’re looking for a consensus as to which is clearly best you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.

Now it may not be an option to choose furniture colors that go along with the color of your cat’s hair. But why not see if you can find cushion covers that can be thrown into the washer. Or at least make easy care micro-fiber fabric your first choice.

Now more than a few pet lovers are ready to take drastic action. That is get rid of their carpets and go for hardwood flooring. The hair wouldn’t stick on to anything then. And it’s no sweat sweeping the hair up. But is it a worthwhile solution? Like I said it’s a bit drastic. But some are ready to go to great lengths like this to solve the problem.
