Bissell has this nice hand-held 'Pet Hair Eraser'. It works very well for homes with small dogs due to its compact size. I love it...my mom bought one for me several years ago....cleans the upholstered furniture very well. The pink end on it is rubbery, so it grabs the hair. (Note: Bissell also carries a full-size upright vacuum for pet hair.)
I purchased this black rubber brush in the pet section at Meijer. I think I paid about $6 for it....I use it to clean the hair off the doggie beds. It does very well. I clean the bed on the outside, and turn it inside out and clean the hair out there too. Of course from time to time the bed goes into the washer and dryer...but you need to make sure you have the doggie hair off first!
After I clean the beds with the rubber brush, I spray them with Caldrea Linen and Room Spray. You can get it at the Vitamin Shoppe (www.vitaminshoppe.com) This particular scent is Basil Blue Sage...what a delightful natural smell! These are made with essential oils, and can me used on linens, garments and in the air. It contains plant-derived ingredients, no artificial color, and is not tested on animals! I always use the natural stuff. Please don't use Febreeze, it not a safe product to use around your pets.
Keeping your dog's environment clean is important to having a healthy companion, and it doesn't need to be time consuming, but it certainly should be done using safe products that are not only environmentally friendly, but Fido-friendly too!
