I thought that having long hair myself was bad enough, but since adding a dog into my home over four years ago, I’ve realised that pet hair is just as annoying. In fact, I can’t walk on my floors without stray hairs sticking to my feet or covering my clothes, and it’s a constant struggle to get pet hair out of carpet.
Of course, the best vacuums for pet hair play a huge part when vacuuming pet hair, but carpets and rugs are a completely different ballgame. As each tiny (and often invisible) strand of pet hair falls to the floor, it’s kicked into corners and pushed deeper into carpet fibres by passing footfall. And before you know it, you’ve got a whole host of hair dirtying and damaging your carpets.
