Dog Hair Cleaning Hacks

Chuy is a short hair Chihuahua but there is dog hair ALL over my home. I’m always looking for new dog hair cleaning hacks to make my life easier. I’ve come to the realization that I’m NEVER going to get all of the dog hair out of here. However, there are things you can to stop fur from covering every square inch of your house.

Bonus Tips: I keep a mini lint roller like this in my purse.

4. Swiffer Sweeper

If you’re a dog mom and don’t have a Swiffer Sweeper, you need to get a Swiffer ASAP! These little babies are so good. These are a must have for cleaning up the dirt, dust, and dog hair from floors.

5. Furminate Your Dog on the Reg!

Regular brushing helps to remove the fur that’s already loose and going to shed all over your house. A regular brush won’t do a good enough job. I absolutely love and recommend the Furminator for brushing your dog because it removes a ton of loose fur.

6. Invest in a Handheld Cordless Vacuum

Who wants to bust out the big guns every single time you need to clean up some fur? Every dog mom and dad needs a handheld cordless vacuum. These are genius for cleaning the steps and small areas that are hard to reach with the regular vacuum. This is the one I have:
