Of course we have a weakness for our dogs or cats. They shed year round, and that results in troubles when vacuuming your house.

Our customers in Ashland Ohio raise questions everyday about how to get annoying pet fur. Here's two or three things to seek out in a vacuum made in particular to get pet fur. My wife and I hope these lessons aid you.

Probably the most important feature on a vacuum, if you own dogs or cats that shed, is the style of brush roller. If your vacuum has a brush that revolves, you'll see that it picks up pet fur better than a vacuum that has no roller. Roller brushes are not all created equal.
Natural filament brushes will comb through the toughest carpet, brushing out the pet fur. The big real advantage of the natural fiber roller brush 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. Family pet dander and fur clogs up the brushes themselves, making the brushes powerless to comb through the carpet fibers. Dog and cat fur can get wedged in the roller ...
... brush's bearing, causing the bearings to burn out. Frequent replacement of the roller brush is the outcome. All in all, it's much better to use natural bristle brushes when doable.

The attachment brushes for dusting, upholstery and bare flooring should also be made of natural fibers.

Nearly all pet fur finds itself on the upholstery before long. The pet's fur can be discovered in the automobile upholstery even if the pet is not allowed in the family automobile.

An additional problem with pet fur is that it will clog up a vacuum cleaner hose if you get a fur ball or clump of pet fur 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.

Owning a powerful vacuum motor will definitely help. Motors are graded by the total of amps of electricity they use.

The more imperative attribute, when picking up pet fur, is how many fans the motor has. A motor with two fans, will pull the air, and also the pet fur, virtually fifty percent harder than a motor with one fan.

You will find many higher end vacuums that have natural fiber brushes, have motors with two fans, and yet have turbine driven brushes for your upholstery cleaning. Most styles of vacuums that have the benefits we talked about are merely available from independent vacuum merchants.

There is certainly one in your vicinity.

Most people that promote vacuums online are either not authorized sellers, or can't honor the warranty because they are selling out of their vicinity.

We certainly hope these lessons have served you.
