We love our dogs or cats. They shed year round, and that creates problems when sweeping you house. At our small business, The Sweeper Store, in Wooster Oho, we get inquiries all the time about tips on how to pick up inconvenient pet fur. Here are a few things to check out in a vacuum sweeper made particularly to pick up family pet fur. We trust these thoughts will help you.
The most essential feature on a vacuum sweeper, if you have pets that shed, is the type of brush roller. If your vacuum sweeper has a brush that spins, you'll see that it picks up pet hair better than a vacuum that has no roller. Roller brushes are not all designed in the same way.
Natural fiber brushes are the best. They will comb through the densest carpet, brushing out the pet fur. The immense benefit of the natural fiber roller brushes is that the fur will not get trapped around the roller brush. Fur wrapping around a bush causes many problems. It slows down the roller brush, stretching the vacuum cleaner belt. pet hair clogs up the brushes themselves, making the brushes not capable to comb through the carpet fibers. pet hair can get jammed in the roller brush's bearing, causing the bearings to burn out. Repeated replacement of the roller brush is the consequence. All in all, it's much better to use natural bristle brushes when workable. The attachment brushes for dusting, furniture and bare flooring also needs to be made of natural fibers. These fibers are advertised as "Horse hair" but are in reality boars hair.
For the most part pet hair finds itself on the upholstery soon. The dog and cat fur will be found in the car upholstery regardless of whether the pet is not permitted in the family vehicle. The dog and cat hair it carried on our clothes, and it finds itself everywhere we live.
A good quality turbine driven upholstery tool, with a airflow driven revolving brush, will solve most pet hair problems on your upholstery.
An added problem with dog and cat fur is that it will clog up a vacuum cleaner hose if you pick up a fur ball or clump of pet hair at one swipe. The way to solve this problem is to vacuum slowly when using a hose with attachments. You should also vacuum slowly so that your vacuum cleaner is not "gulping" the fur in huge clumps.
Making use of a strong vacuum sweeper motor will undoubtedly help. Motors are ranked by the number of amps of electricity they use. The more essential feature, when picking up pet hair, is how many fans the motor posesses. A motor with two fans, will pull the air, and also the dog and cat fur, nearly fifty percent harder than a motor with just one fan.
You'll find many higher end vacuum cleaners that use natural fiber brushes, have motors with double fans, and even have turbine driven brushes for your above the floor sweeping.
My wife and i hope these ideas aided you.
