Cheap rubber broom removes pet hairs from carpets

Autumn is a good time to clean carpets before the muddy winter weather arrives. Households with pets that shed hairs can find it difficult to remove them as hairs get trapped in the pile. Pet vacuum cleaners are a solution or professional carpet cleaning services can remove ingrained dirt and debris.

A TikTok user in America has recommended a much cheaper solution for removing pet hairs. In a video she posted to TikTok, she demonstrates how she uses a rubber broom on her carpets, which cost her £12. She claims the broom is better than her expensive Dyson for removing hairs and, after use, the broom can be easily washed.

A commentator on the video said they also use the broom to remove cheese from their restaurant carpet.

The online cleaning equipment retailer, Home Valet Company, confirms the effectiveness of rubber brooms. They say the individual cleaning heads of the broom penetrate the carpet's interior in a way that ordinary brooms and brushes cannot reach. Rubber brooms can also have electrostatic properties that cause hairs to stick to them so that they can easily be collected.

Pet owners should not be discouraged from buying carpets for their Chester homes. There are many cleaning products and equipment available that can easily clean up the dirt and debris that pets bring in from outside. Some breeds of dogs don't shed hair, but for those that do, perhaps all that is needed is an inexpensive rubber broom.
