Chihuahua Owners - 13 Ways To Keep Yourself Fur-Free

Do you arrive at the office looking like you rolled over with your Chihuahua dog? Do your dinner guests politely pick dog hair from their food before eating it? Nothing says “I have a dog” more than hair clinging to our clothing, hair wafting through the air in our homes, or hair burrowing into the butter. Frequent vacuuming is one of the best ways to cut down on hair buildup, but if you don’t always have time to drag out the vacuum cleaner, try some of these quick and dirty suggestions for cleaning up the piles of pet hair.

1. To sweep up loose Chihuahua hair from hardwood or vinyl floors, use a dampened mop.

2. Wall-to-wall carpeting holds down the hair more than hard-wood or vinyl floors, so adding a carpet to a room may help keep dog hair from wafting through your house.

3. To pick up loose dog hair that is attached to upholstered furniture, wear a dampened rubber glove or use a damp sponge.

4. Use a sticky roller to lift dog hair from fabrics and upholstery. Washable sticky rollers enable you to recycle instead of dispose of the product.

5. Purchase a washable Furniture Magnet Pet Hair Remover to help you wipe off the dog hair from clothing, furniture, or pillows. Place it under your furniture cushions for easy access.

6. To pick up dog hair from your carpet, use a window squeegee.

7. Choose furniture made from smooth fabrics such as leather, faux leather, or other fabric to which loose hair won’t stick as readily.

8. Place a washable towel or blanket over your dog’s favorite sleeping spot to keep hair from clinging to cushions.

9. Use washable window coverings if your Chihuahua likes to watch the world go by from the floor in front of a picture window or patio doors.

10. Draperies made of smooth fabrics won’t attract as much hair as heavy textured ones, so if you’re in the market for some new window furnishings, purchase ones that are less likely to become filled with your dog’s hair.

11. Keep a lint brush near your favorite easy chair. Then, after your dog sits on your lap, you can roll off the hair before you get up.

12. Use a feather duster or device to clean between slats of mini-blinds to remove deposited Chihuahua hair.

13. Change the furnace and air conditioner filters more often during shedding season to prevent blockage.
