Keep your home dog hair-free: practical tips and smart styling ideas

Sharing your home with a dog means unconditional love, wagging greetings, and… yes, dog hair. While we adore our furry companions, no one wants their house covered in a carpet of loose fur. The good news? With a mix of smart cleaning habits and a fur-resistant home, you can keep your house virtually dog-hair-free. Here are practical tips and styling ideas featuring the chic products from Pawness.

Brushing: The first step to a dog hair-free home

The best way to keep dog hair out of your home is to tackle it at the source: your dog. Regular brushing removes loose hair before it lands on your floors, sofa, or clothes.

At Pawness, you’ll find brushes specially designed for different coat types:

• For dogs with long, fine coats: The wooden Pawness brush for long coats detangles and removes loose fur without damaging the coat.
• For dogs with short coats: The nylon/wooden Pawness brush for short coats keeps the coat shiny and efficiently removes dead hair.

Plan brushing sessions based on your dog’s coat needs and turn them into a cosy bonding moment. Your dog will love the attention, and you’ll enjoy a cleaner, hair-free home.

Extra Tip: Brush your dog outdoors or on a large towel. After brushing, simply shake out the towel, saving you a clean-up indoors.

Smart vacuuming: picking up every strand

Even with regular brushing, some hair will find its way into your home. That’s where a good vacuum cleaner becomes your best friend. Choose one with strong suction and a pet hair-specific attachment.

Here are extra tips for effective vacuuming:

• Use a handheld vacuum daily on your dog’s favourite spots.
• Pay special attention to carpets; they’re magnets for dog hair.
• Don’t forget to vacuum under furniture, where hair tends to gather.

Make it easy by setting fixed days for deep vacuuming sessions.

Protect your furniture in style

Dogs love cosy spots like your sofa or favourite chair. But how do you keep these hair-free without banning your pup? The solution is simple: protective covers!

The organic cotton blanket from Pawness perfectly covers your sofa or chair. It is soft, washable, and chic, adding a stylish touch to your interior. Best of all, cleaning is as simple as shaking out the blanket or tossing it in the washing machine.

Extra Tip: Does your dog love sleeping on your bed? Place a Pawness blanket over your duvet for a stylish and practical solution.

Choose hair-resistant materials

Smart material choices can make your home easier to clean and keep hair-free:

• Opt for hair-resistant fabrics: (vegan)Leather, microfiber, and some synthetic materials attract less hair than cotton or wool.
• Go for hard floors: Wood, laminate, or tile floors are much easier to clean than carpets.
• Use washable cushions and covers: Choose dog beds or cushions with removable, washable covers. This will make it easy to keep your dog’s sleeping spot clean and hair-free.

With the right materials, you can create a home that is stylish and practical for living with a dog.

Stick to routines for a dog hair-free home

Removing dog hair is easier when you stay on top of it. Create a routine that works for your lifestyle:

• Daily: Sweep or vacuum areas your dog frequents. Use damp cloths or lint rollers for quick touch-ups on furniture or clothing.
• Weekly: Wash your Pawness blanket, shake out cushions, and thoroughly clean your home.
• Monthly: Inspect and maintain furniture and fabrics that need extra care, like sofas or dog beds.

Making cleaning part of your routine feels less like a chore and more like a habit.

Extra care for less shedding

A good grooming routine, in addition to regular brushing, can reduce shedding and keep your home cleaner. Dogs with healthy skin and coats shed less. For this, use Pawness’ natural shampoos and sprays. These products are gentle on your dog’s skin and help keep its coat in top condition.

What about seasonal changes?

During shedding season, it may feel like your dog is producing twice the hair. This is the time to ramp up your routine:

• Brush more frequently using the Pawness brush suited for your dog’s coat.
• Use lint rollers for quick clean-ups on furniture and clothes.
• Wash protective blankets and covers more often.

It might require a bit more effort, but with a few smart adjustments, you can keep your home fur-free even during shedding season.

Conclusion: Keeping your home dog hair-free is easier than you think

A dog-hair-free home might seem like an impossible dream, but with the right approach, it’s surprisingly achievable. Combine practical cleaning tips with smart styling choices and use chic, sustainable products from Pawness.

With the right brush, washable blankets, and a little routine, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a happy life with your dog and a fur-free home.
