If there is too much wool in the apartment, it is most likely time for a seasonal shedding. Anyone who wants to get a cat or dog should be ready for this. This period implies more careful care of the animals.

To help pets during molting, take the following measures:

  • comb the cat or dog several times a day, preferably outside the home;
  • bathing animals with special shampoos;
  • collecting wool with wet palms;
  • use of special rubber gloves.

In addition to significantly reducing the amount of hair in the home, this will lead to an improved appearance of the coat of pets. Also analyze the food that the animal is eating: excess wool in the house can be the result of mistakes in grooming.

In winter, when the batteries are working hard, and the temperature in the apartment rises along with the stuffiness, this situation is bad for cats and dogs. To make life easier for pets, you need to regularly ventilate the room and maintain an acceptable level of humidity in it.

House cleaning methods for cat hair

Owners of stone, parquet floors need to carry out wet cleaning daily from the effects of molting. Arm yourself with a bucket of water and a rag, thoroughly wash the floor, paying attention to secluded places and corners where animals like to spend time.

To clean the carpet, it must be vacuumed; this is effective if the device has attachments that wind the fibers around itself. Robot vacuum cleaners are an innovation that does an excellent job of this type of cleaning, especially when pre-wetting the carpet surface. After the procedure, you need to walk on the carpet with a damp cloth to remove the remains of wool and products.

For prophylaxis, upholstered furniture is regularly treated with an antistatic agent, this repels hairs of pets from the surface of sofas and armchairs. If the animal does not shed much, it will be enough to wipe the upholstery with a damp cloth or hand, removing the effects of hair loss from the furniture. You can purchase a special roller for surface treatment, this will simplify the task.

If the texture of the furniture allows, you can use regular tape. A layer of scotch tape is glued onto the upholstery, smoothed and torn off along with wool and dust.

Thus, by identifying the causes of molting and adjusting the living conditions of the pet, you will already reduce the amount of wool in the house. And cleaning the floor, carpets and furniture will lead to a good result, and you can enjoy the cleanliness of the apartment.
