5 Tips for Using a Lint Roller on Pet Hair
Start with a Clean Surface
Before using a lint roller on your pet’s hair, make sure the surface you will be rolling on is clean. Remove any large debris or loose hairs by vacuuming or wiping down the surfaces. This will make it easier for the lint roller to pick up the smaller hairs that remain.
Use a Heavy Duty Lint Roller
Invest in a heavy-duty lint roller specifically designed for pet hair. These lint rollers have a stronger adhesive that will pick up more hair per swipe. You may need to use fewer sheets of paper, which will save you time and money in the long run.
Roll in One Direction
Roll the lint roller in one direction across the surface. Rolling back and forth can cause the hair to be pushed around and not picked up effectively. Roll in short, quick strokes, and apply gentle pressure to the surface.
Focus on High Traffic Areas
Pay extra attention to high traffic areas where your pet spends the most time, such as their bed or favorite spot on the couch. These areas are likely to have the most hair accumulation and will require more passes with the lint roller.
Finish with a Damp Cloth
After using a lint roller, finish the job with a damp cloth. Wipe down the surface to pick up any remaining hair or debris and leave a clean finish. This will also help remove any leftover adhesive from the lint roller.
