10 Areas to Clean During Shedding Season in

Pet hair can quickly spread throughout your home during shedding season. Even when you vacuum regularly, loose fur may collect in hidden spaces, cling to fabrics, and return shortly after cleaning.

Giving these 10 areas extra attention can help keep your home looking cleaner and feeling fresher.

1. Carpets and Rugs

Pet hair can settle deep inside carpet and rug fibers. Vacuum slowly in more than one direction, paying special attention to the places where your pets like to rest.

2. Sofas and Chairs

Fur often clings to upholstered furniture and collects between cushions. Vacuum the surfaces, remove the cushions, and clean along the seams and inside the crevices.

3. Underneath Furniture

Loose hair can travel underneath beds, sofas, tables, and dressers. Use a vacuum attachment or another suitable tool to reach these easily overlooked areas.

4. Pet Beds and Blankets

Pet bedding can hold hair, dirt, and odors. Shake off or vacuum loose fur before washing each item according to its care instructions.

5. Baseboards and Corners

Air movement can push pet hair toward walls, baseboards, and room corners. Vacuum these areas first, then wipe the baseboards with a suitable cloth or cleaning product.

6. Stairs and Hallways

Pets frequently move through hallways and up and down stairs, leaving hair behind as they go. Pay attention to carpet edges, stair corners, railings, and other difficult-to-reach spaces.

7. Curtains and Fabric Shades

Airborne fur and dust can settle on curtains and fabric window coverings. Vacuum them with an appropriate attachment or wash them according to the manufacturer’s care instructions.

8. Air Vents and Registers

Pet hair and dust can collect around air vents and registers. Wipe the covers regularly and replace your home’s air filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

9. Your Pet’s Favorite Areas

The places where your pet sleeps, plays, or watches the outdoors may collect more fur than the rest of your home. Check window seats, rugs, furniture, and sunny corners regularly.

10. Hard Floors

Loose fur can gather beneath cabinets, along walls, and behind doors. Vacuum or sweep before mopping so wet pet hair does not stick to the floor or spread around the room.

Keeping up with pet hair during shedding season can feel like a never-ending task. Regular cleaning and careful attention to hidden areas can make the mess easier to manage.
