For pet families using hand-free mops to clean their fur, the following tips can be referred to:
Mop selection
Electrostatic dust-removing mop: In seasons with strong static electricity such as autumn and winter, electrostatic dust-removing mops are used in combination with dust-removing paper. The dust-removing paper can easily absorb cat and dog hair when rubbed. Moreover, the mop is thinner and lighter than traditional styles, allowing it to reach various corners and crevices for cleaning. For instance, the David electrostatic dust-removing mop can also be paired with wet wipes. It works very well in removing grease. When it gets dirty, just throw it away and there's no need to wash it by hand.
Hand-free electric mop: Take the Yijie hand-free electric mop as an example. It can be easily operated with one hand. There is no need to use both hands or bend over. The mop head rotates automatically, making floor cleaning easy and efficient. It also features a spray function. You can add pet disinfectant to clean and disinfect the floor at the same time. After mopping the floor, place it in the cleaning tank and press the cleaning button to clean and spin dry it with one click.
No-wash flat mop: The no-wash flat mop can easily absorb cat and dog hair. Unlike a broom, it won't fly hair all over the place when swept. One mop can clean most of the hair, and it can also flexibly clean crevices and under the sofa. In addition, it can also be added with antibacterial liquid or detergent to meet the regular disinfection needs of pet-owning families.
Sweeping, mopping and scraping all-in-one mop: The flat mop from Sobona features an all-in-one sweeping, mopping and scraping design. The panel is made of microfiber cloth, which has excellent water absorption and can clean tiles, floors and wooden floors with just one mop. The mop comes with a rubber strip and can be used to scrape mirrors, glass and stubborn stains. The mop head can also be freely redirected and can clean small crevices such as under the sofa. The mop comes with double-layer wiper paper and a four-wheel drive roller door, making it smooth and dry when wiping water, and it is also easy to clean.
Usage method
First, use a dry mop for pre-treatment: When pets move freely indoors, they will leave hair and saliva in various corners. When cleaning the floor, you can first walk around with a dry mop to scrape off obvious hair and saliva, reducing the burden of subsequent cleaning.
Zoned cleaning: Divide the cleaning area and clean it in a certain order to avoid omissions. For areas with more hair, the frequency of cleaning can be appropriately increased.
Follow-up processing
Physical hair removal: Place the mop in a bright area and use your hands to remove tangled hair from the mop cloth, especially from the edges and crevices. For tightly entwined hair, you can use a fine-toothed comb or a special mop cleaning tool. Fix the mop cloth and comb the hair on the cloth through the teeth of the comb, gradually loosening and pulling out the hair from the fibers.
Adhesive tape for removing hair: Use a wide adhesive tape or a cleaning roller to repeatedly press and roll on the surface of the mop, which can remove fine hair. This method is suitable for loose hair but not for tangled hair that is very tight.
After soaking in water, pat and clean: Soak the mop cloth in warm water or water with added laundry detergent for 10 to 15 minutes to make the hair soft and fall out. Then, while rinsing with water, gently tap the mop cloth with a patting technique to help the hair fall off naturally. During the cleaning process, a brush can also be worn for auxiliary scrubbing to enhance the cleaning efficiency.
