Cleaning for Christmas.
Wondering about others strategies in the battle of the hair. My dog is only 25 lbs, it's not a "shedding time of year", he's eating oils/vit e. He does not go on furniture, but somehow the hair is there anyway. And on refrig, stuck on
toilet, glued to cabinets etc. etc.
Tips appreciated!

My dog only has a single coat, but I'm kind of neurotic about hair. I found the best thing to do to keep the shedding to a minimum is brushing. I brush my dog every day in the kitchen (because there's no carpet) and then sweep up everything that comes off.
I used to do this when I had multiple dogs AND when my sister and her GSD lived with us too. It helped a LOT to minimize hair all over the house, and almost eliminated the GSD 'tumbleweeds' altogether. Their coats always looked great too:-)
A little time consuming, but it can spare a lot of aggravation.
Have you tried running a swiffer cloth over your hard surfaces?
That for my picks up hair on surfaces better than anything else.
First I use my shop vac to pick up any big stuff then I go back over with a swiffer or just the cloth on my hand.
I have single coated dogs as well, I use a rubber curry comb looking thing to brush them and it helps get all the hair out without bothering their skin.

I use the furminator lightly (not to strip him of hair) about once a week, wire brush a few minutes daily, we have a bagless vacuum that has one of those revolving bars that rubs the floor. The pet hair eraser works well on fabric and we have a few well placed fans that collect the airborne hair in paricular spots for daily pick up and keep it off surfaces we cook or eat on.
This is in an apartment with one cat one dog, one person deathly allergic to cat (and suffers no symptoms with this method), cat is "allowed" on counters, both pets are allowed in furniture. Both pets have access to one bedroom (their owners, different room for each animal), and the living room. When owners are home both pets typically invade the living room
They might freeze to death in the driveway.

The above are all arriving next Tuesday. Usually it's me+ the dogs. Two and 1/2 feet of snow - guests will be be trapped inside- -for days. Thank the Lord for football.
My washing machine thinks it's going to DIE. I don't even have a tree yet.....
No, they expect a balsam fir, angel on top, etc. "the whole shit" as the hired man used to say.
Have not done this for 5 years.
I hope my dog doesn't bite, or trip the ancient dad. Long days in the crate in the forecast.
