Cat hair: how to remove it
Cats shed a lot of fine hair that gets everywhere. Here's how to stay on top of it.
Cat hair is fine and light: it clings to fabrics and floats in the air. The solution combines regular grooming, the right vacuum and a bit of routine.
1. Brush (even a cat)
Most cats enjoy a few minutes of brushing a day. It reduces swallowed hair (hairballs) and the hair that ends up on your furniture.
2. Vacuuming fine hair
Fine hair calls for good filtration. A vacuum with a HEPA filter captures hair and allergens. For sensitive cats, a quiet robot avoids stress.
3. Bed, curtains and clothes
A damp rubber glove lifts hair from the bed and sofa in one swipe. On clothes, a lint roller is still fastest before heading out.
