Here’s how they do it …
1.Invest In A Pet Vacuum—It Really Makes a Difference
Almost every vacuum manufacturer produces a vacuum designed for homes with pets The difference is usually a turbo brush to deal with hair and stronger suction to remove hair from carpet.

Dyson and Miele make a pet grooming attachment for their vacuum cleaners. This is easy to order and use and is the easiest way to trap all the hair that would eventually land on your carpets. According to the customer reviews on Amazon.co.uk pets love it!!
3.Vacuum At Least Twice A Week
Pets shed hair continuously and so pet owners have to vacuum their carpets more often . Try to vacuum at least twice a week unless you have several pets or unless your pet is moulting or long-haired in which case you should vacuum every day. Allowing pet hair to accumulate will make it more difficult to remove when you get around to vacuuming.
Empty the bag or dust container every time you clean, wash or replace filters frequently. Keeping your vacuum cleaner in good repair is essential so that it performs well.

Use the furniture attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove pet hair from your sofas and chairs. It is easy to pop these tools on to the vacuum and use to clean the fabric of your upholstery. Your furniture will look better and it keeps the hair off the carpet.

We used to clean carpets in Los Angeles for a homeowner who had a black dog. His dog loved to roll on certain areas of his very light coloured carpet .
