My new book: Organizing for the Rest of Us
--Nony
An alternative to vacuum or broom is a washable microfiber dry dust mop for hard floors. The microfiber fingers grab fur, hair, crumbs and debris really effectively when you keep the mop in contact with the floor. I have a Goldie and two Aussies so I understand the problems of using a broom getting up the fur easily. Get a spare mop head and you can put one in the wash each week and still keep up with tidying the floors every day.
I’m about 30 minutes into this episode & can relate to shedding dogs and no time. I highly recommend running a Roomba daily or even every other day – it is worth the purchase expense with the time it saves & the first it picks up. Also, getting golden retrievers groomed like Labrador retrievers is helpful too! WAY less fur is shed.
I was listening to the podcast where the woman has 4 dogs and 2 cats. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and my whole lower level is tile floors. I dreaded vacuuming my floors everyday because it still took me so long. I found getting a large dust mop from lowes has cut my sweeping time down to like 5 minutes! Just run that around to get the bulk of the dog hair from the day and it will be so much better! Good luck!
