Vacuuming—sooooooo much hair

[M.F.]

Our cleaner is on holiday. I vacuumed yesterday. O-M-G!!!!!!!! I vacuumed up half a bin’s worth of hair. I had to empty the vacuum cleaner a few times. I cannot believe that Snowie sheds so much. It is quite unbelievable.

Our cleaner vacuums our house 3x per week. I can now see how essential that is. My husband vacuumed last week cos visitors were coming over and he’s swept and mopped the hard surfaces. So, it’s not as if we’d not cleaned. But this amount of hair. How do those of you with more than one Labrador cope??

We only have Stanley and have to sweep/hoover twice a day or the house just looks disgusting and it really drives me mad.

Especially with Rory crawling now I hate picking him up for him to be covered in dog hair.

Ella is shedding unbelievably at the moment as our weather has been so up and down. We vacuum every day and still see tumble weeds

Especially with Rory crawling now I hate picking him up for him to be covered in dog hair.

It's even more fun when a friend brings their kid over for a playdate. In white leggings . A crawler on a wooden floor, in white leggings, with a chocolate lab in the house. I was mortified

Our house is just....disgusting! I hoovered on christmas day but skipped yesterday. Today there is black hair everywhere - it looks like hairy smears in the carpet. Oh, and now there's mud too. HOWEVER, I am back at work this afternoon - OH is home.................I wonder..............

I’ve seen nifty baby outfits that have mops on the knees. Why let all that crawling go to waste?

I must say that while Crocs might not be the most fashionable, they are useful for rubbing hair into a small pile on the carpet, which can then be picked up.

We have wooden floors so I swiffer twice a day and vacuum (Shark) once a day. This keeps the floors pretty hair free.

 

[HAH]

Wow. I vacuum once a week and never have anyone round

That's us have to say that Monty sounds like a very light shedder in comparison to many forum doggies.

 

[Rosie]

never have anyone round

This is the only real solution.

This is the only real solution.

Unless they are lab owners with the same mindset

I love it when guests arrive and ask if they should take their shoes off. I usually say "I'm, probably best that you don't"

 

[edzbird]

OH Hoovered!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Wow. I vacuum once a week and never have anyone round

With ya!

OH moved the sofa today...well blow me down with a feather, there was an extra dog under there!!!

 

[Cupcase]

I took down the Christmas tree and OMGOODNESS the hairs under it and it had only been up a week.

I love it when guests arrive and ask if they should take their shoes off. I usually say "I'm, probably best that you don't"

I actually had to insist when one lot of visitors came and I hadn't vacuumed for a few days, that they put their shoes back on.

"Unless you want hair and sand all over your feet." Between the doggy stuff and the muck th pram brings in our floors are pretty gross.

Our cleaner is away for 3 weeks and our vacuum broke. I'm dying.

OH hoovers and always complains but I don't think it's that bad.
We do have a Maisy coloured carpet that helps.

Mind you I washed the blanket that protects the sofa and there was a load of fur underneath it, how did that get there?

I am lucky, Rourke only moults twice a year, no hairs at all at the moment

I think Monty is like that, his first year was bad but despite having a thick coat he really doesn't moult that much. The downside is he is always hot May through to September
