Until recently, the carpets and rugs in my home were 70% carpet fibres, 30% hair. And as my husband has a grade zero all over, I can only blame the two other people who live in our house for that. There’s me, whose long hair seems to shed like a dog. And then there’s my actual dog, whose glorious ginger locks get everywhere.
And while, as Ideal Home’s vacuum expert, it's literally my job to test the best vacuum cleaners, I’ve learned over the years that many vacuums still struggle with hairs of varying length - despite all of their anti-tangle and pet hair technology. This is especially true on my wool carpets, where the natural texture (full of nooks and crannies) becomes a breeding ground for embedded hair.
