Pet Hair Cleaning Tips for Colorado Springs Homes (Dogs, Cats & Allergies)

Pets are family—but pet hair can make a clean home feel messy fast. In Colorado Springs, CO, dry air can also increase static and make hair cling to fabrics and furniture.

Best Places to Focus

• Entryway (hair + dust + grit)
• Couches and upholstered chairs
• Bedrooms and bedding
• Baseboards and corners (hair collects here)

Pet Hair Removal Routine (Weekly)

• Vacuum slowly and use attachments on edges
• Vacuum furniture cushions and under cushions
• Use a rubber brush or pet hair tool on fabric
• Wash pet blankets and frequently used bedding
• Wipe hard floors after vacuuming to pick up leftover hair

Pro Tips That Actually Help

• Brush pets regularly (less hair on floors later)
• Use washable covers on pet-favorite furniture spots
• Replace filters and keep vents dust-free
• Don’t skip baseboards—hair sticks there

If Allergies Are a Concern

Focus on removing hair plus dander: wash fabrics regularly, vacuum thoroughly, and keep bedrooms especially clean for better sleep.
