Cats on a healthy diet do not shed as often or as much as other cats.
Cat fur is lightweight and relatively short, so after it leaves your cat's coat it can spread all over your house. Pet owners must clean fur off floors, furniture and clothing to avoid having dirty homes. Cats that go outside can shed some dead fur daily, and they shed in the spring and autumn to prepare for weather changes. Cats that live inside are not exposed to the weather, so they can continue to shed profusely throughout the year. Pet owners, therefore, have to maintain a regular cleaning schedule to remove cat fur.
Instructions
1. Dust your home with the feather duster. Alternatively, use a commercially available handheld duster with a microfiber dusting cloth; its makers claim that it traps all dust, dirt and allergens. Clean cat fur off tables, mirrors, ceiling fans, desks and other flat, hard surfaces. Dust in small spaces where cat fur can get caught. Clean fur from cupboards, shelves and window frames with the duster. Dust any textured ceilings and ceiling fans that have collected cat fur.
2. Sweep hard floors with the broom. Look in corners, under cupboards and under furniture, and sweep out any balls of fur. Remove cobwebs where fur may be caught with the broom. Vacuum carpets and rugs. Fasten attachments to the vacuum cleaner and vacuum out any small spaces. Vacuum the edges of rooms and around baseboards.
3. Remove fur from cloth surfaces with the pet hair roller. With the roller, clean off fur on couches, upholstered chairs, tablecloths, pillows and clothing. Remove fur from cat beds, cloth toys and scratching posts.
4. Don the rubber glove. Wet the outside of the glove and shake your hand rapidly to remove any excess water. Hold the trash bag in your other hand. Wipe furniture and small areas where only your hand will fit with the damp glove. Place the fur you collect in the trash bag after each wiping motion.
