Love the dog, hate the dander? Top-rated vacuums to clean up pet hair
By Metro Creative P
eople regularly wel- come pets into their homes. While they may love the affection and com-
panionship the animal pro- vides, they may not enjoy the fur and dander left behind in- side the house.
Around 65 percent of
American households have one or more pets, according to the American Pet Product Association. while Statistics Canada notes that around half of all Canadian households have a pet. New generations of pet owners are willing and able to pay top dollar for pre- mium services and products. They may be more interested
in a vacuum that is designed for pet fur than previous gen- erations. It can take no time at all for fur to accumulate on a rug or upholstered
furniture.The na- ture of pet fur allows it to get stuck in the fibers and it is not easily removed, and it can be time-consuming to use sticky rollers to clean up pet hair. Some pet owners actually have resorted to running a wire slicker brush or shedding blade over rugs and furniture to collect the hair. Many find that pet fur is more easily cleaned with a vacuum de- signed specifically for that purpose or one that boasts strong suction power.
