Pet hair is never a welcome addition to your home … that is unless it’s ON the pet! But when it comes to thick masses covering our furniture, fine lengths coating the floors, and stray strands getting on our clothes (yuck!), pet hair has GOT to go!

That doesn’t mean you want to get rid of your furry friends, however, and we get that! Which is why we offer a manageable way to keep your home (and your outfits) pet hair-free, while still being able to love on the furriest members of the family.

If you haven’t already, consider a regular cleaning schedule with My Amazing Maid. We can focus on your pets’ shedding (and their most popular areas of the home), to keep your spaces as hair-free as possible.

In the meantime, look for quick fixes that can remove and capture hair from its least-wanted locations.

Lower the Pet Hair Population of Your Home By:

Vacuuming!

A quick once-over can snag any clumps or stray hairs that have been left behind. This is true with carpet or hard floor surfaces. Be sure to invest in a vacuum that’s made specifically for pets. These models don’t have to be expensive but can do a better job of collecting and keeping pet hair from your floors. Not all models are created equally; spend a little time looking for a vacuum that specializes.

Ask My Amazing Maid about a vacuum recommendation in your price range!

Lint Roll the Furniture

This is fast and effective. It’s not always feasible to pull out the vacuum (and its corresponding attachments) to get rid of pet shedding, especially when you just need a fast fix. Stock up on lint rollers of all sizes – oversized versions for the couch! – so you can pick up hair in a jiffy and keep it off the chairs.

It’s a good idea to keep smaller lint rollers by the door or in your car, too. This way you can tidy up quickly while heading out.

Bonus: opt for rollers that you can wash clean to avoid excess trash and replacement papers for your brushes.

Groom Your Pets

Brush your cats and dogs regularly to help keep the shedding in check. Regular shampooing or grooming appointments can also help. Keep in mind that shedding is more prevalent at different times throughout the year, but by helping remove undercoats on your own, you can keep their hair in the trash and off your floors. 

Give the Pets Set Spaces

If shedding continues to be a problem, it’s a good idea to offer your pet a special area to call their own. Place a bed, lay blankets, etc., allowing them a comfortable place to which they can return. It will also eliminate sleeping on random surfaces and leaving hair in more areas. With a quarantined shedding space, you can tidy up the pet hair faster and more efficiently.

Help eliminate the amount of pet hair that covers your home with a few quick fixes. You can also schedule regular home cleanings from My Amazing Maid for a cleaner, pet hair-free space.

To keep your house cleaner — and greener — at all times, check out these seven natural cleaning tips from the professional cleaning experts. 

1. Vinegar in Your Dishwasher – If you have hard water in your home, you are probably pretty frustrated with dirty-looking dishes that come out of your dishwasher with spots. You can put a dishwasher safe bowl right-side-up in your dishwasher and pour in some vinegar. Run the dishwasher — the vinegar will help combat that hard water so your dishes come out looking spotless. You can also add vinegar in the dishwasher rinse aid compartment.
2. Set a Cleaning Timer – This tip can be a game-changer for you and your children. This cleaning tip is simple. You set a timer and work on cleaning your kitchen until the buzzer goes off. Maybe you finish the dishes early, but that gives you more time to finish another cleaning task. A timer is a great way to get your children involved in some simple cleaning tasks that are age-appropriate. You get a little helping hand and the kids have fun racing the timer to get the cleaning task complete.
3. Cotton Ball in Your Trash Can – You’re not the only one with smelly garbage. It’s a fact of life. Here’s a tip you can use to make your trash bin a little less funky — or rather, smelly in a good way. Try taking a cotton ball, soaking it in essential oil, and place it in your trash bin underneath the bag. This is an easy and inexpensive odor-fighter that helps keep your trash from smelling to disturbing.
4. Get Rid of Those Annoying Coffee Stains – Your coffee mugs have stubborn brown coffee stains? Check out the baking soda trick. All you have to do is sprinkle some onto the bottom of your stained cup, add just enough water to form a paste and scrub.
5. Quit Those Sink Odors with Baking Soda and Lemon Juice – Just think of all the gross stuff that goes down your drain, it makes sense when it starts to stink. Try this cleaning hack by flushing your sink drain with hot water and baking soda, then finish it off with a cup of lemon juice water. The baking soda and lemon juice with cause a fizzy, chemical reaction and leave your sink smelling refreshed.
6. Try a Potato to Clean Your Rusty Cast Iron – Did you know potatoes can clean rust?! You can use this trick on other rusty things, too. Cut the potato in half, dip the cut end in dish soap or baking soda, and rub it over the rusty pot or surface. Save your time and money with this vegetable cleaning tool.
7. Clean Your Microwave with Lemons – You probably don’t want your morning oatmeal to smell like yesterday’s spaghetti leftovers. Here is how you can beat the stink! Use a 1/2 cup of water in a bowl or microwaveable safe dish, slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the water, then drop the lemon halves into the bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave and run for three minutes. Let stand for five minutes. Warning: Do not open the microwave door before the five minutes waiting period, that’s where the magic happens. The steam trapped inside will help loosen food debris make your microwave smell lemony fresh. After you can wipe it down!

This is why My Amazing Maid’s cleaning services can change your life! Therefore, when you hire a maid service, you will see more mental clarity, better time management, and more efficiency in your life. 

Reason One: Mental Health

Do you ever feel unsettled about something but you just aren’t sure what it is? Or you have a feeling of unclarity or grogginess? My Amazing Maid’s services can help clear your mind! Research has shown that having a clean home can actually positively affect your mental health!

This is when our cleaning services can help. Our cleaning services will allow you to stay refreshed and clear-minded in your day-to-day life. No more spending your days worried and anxious, instead, spend them focused and excited!

Reason Two: Time Management

People are busy, the last thing that you want to do when you get home from a long day of work is to clean up around the house. On average, a female spends 2 hours and 15 minutes on housework every day. When taking this into consideration, there are just 24 hours a day. 8 of those hours are used for sleep and another 8 are used for work. When you take out 2.25 hours for cleaning that leaves just under 6 hours for recreation or any other tasks you need to get done. If you have a family, minutes even seconds are precious. Say goodbye to wasting precious time on cleaning and hello to increased family time. My Amazing Maid’s cleaning services will allow you to spend time on what really matters in life; we will take care of the rest!

Hiring a professional cleaning service means no more buying or storing your own cleaning supplies, as we already clean with the safest, most effective supplies. Our services really are a more efficient choice, as you can choose how long you want us to clean and you will no longer be spending the pointless money on chemicals or sponges.
