In their homes and apartments, pet lovers keep dogs or cats. For high-quality sanitary treatment of the premises, household equipment is needed that can cope with the hair of domestic animals. The vacuum cleaner removes not only dusty elements from contaminated surfaces, but also does not always cope with the cleaning of the fur of cats or dogs. Branded vacuum cleaner designs with special nozzles can effectively conduct dust collection and remove pile of different length, thickness, regardless of the amount of "misfortune".In this article, we will consider a special vacuum cleaner for cleaning domestic animals, brushes and other appliances.

There are a number of household structures for collecting the remnants of the fur of domestic pets:
- turbo-brush with mechanical operation;
- turbo brush with electric drive;
- ordinary design for cleaning carpets and floors;
- electric brush for blowing dust from the surface of furniture, upholstered in fabric;
- electric nozzle with a coating of silicone material.
Turbo brush - how effective is it?
Turbo brush is currently the most used device for cleaning rooms from dust and wool of pets. A rotating roller located in the cavity of the turbo brush facilitates the fast winding of anything that is not removed from the carpet or furniture upholstered in fabric.
Important! The effectiveness of the collection of hair and wool of domestic animals is affected by the design properties and the correct application of the turbo brush. Manufacturers constantly make adjustments to the development process of this device, because changing the shape of the nozzle, applying unsurpassed material, adjusting the location of the roller, contribute to greater tool efficiency.
Principle of operation
Turbochalk can operate in mechanical mode and in electrical mode. If the pile of the carpet is 1-1.5 centimeters, then a mechanical turbo brush is used to clean the surface. In the mechanical method, the air flow contributes to the motor activity of the roller, and the magnitude of the sucking effect of the device affects the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner with the turbo brush for cleaning the animal's wool. When using a mechanical device for a vacuum cleaner, the ability of a qualitative absorption process is limited by 20-30%.
Important! It is not recommended to use a mechanical turbo brush to clean a dilapidated carpet with a sticking thread-like base, as well as hand-made carpets.
Electric brush - will it help to get rid of wool?
The electric turbo-brush works by connecting the power supply drive to the turbo-brush.
Pros
There are a number of advantages of using an electric turbobrush:
- The working process occurs at a sufficiently low noise effect.
- The use of this turbo brush does not reduce the absorption of dust and animal hair residues.
- Application is possible for various contaminated coatings, since there is a constant rotational process.
- The overload of the dust collection device does not affect the performance.
Important! The disadvantage of the electric turbo-brush is the use in some models of a rash system, which consists of a number of wires, since the suction tube is loaded along the entire length by the cords. Fortunately, in ultra-modern vacuum cleaners for cleaning domestic animals' wool, a hidden wire system is used.
Device
The performance of the turbo brush is enclosed in a reasonable cleaning system of the roller. If the turbo brush is high-quality, then:
- roller is equipped with a deepened hollow;
- The blade of the scissors, inserted into the recess, allows you to cut the wound hair and remove it.
There are also models of vertical wireless vacuum cleaners with a self-cleaning technological system of the turbo brush. After pressing the foot with the foot, sharp blades are advanced, which instantly cut the collected hair or wool, and the vacuum cleaner instantly tightens them.
Important! In addition to the design, the material of the production of the roller is of great importance:
- With the use of elastic material, the roller wears out quickly due to winding the wool.
- The use of wood entails swelling and cracking.
This is why the selected material must have strength and wear resistance. In some ultramodern models of the vacuum cleaner for cleaning domestic animals' wool, instead of a roller, a packing structure with a pinion configuration is used.
Nozzle floor-carpet against animal hair
Nozzle floor-carpet perfectly helps to cope with the collection of pet hair.
Important! Most often this device has a special foot switch, which regulates the process of bristle extension. This helps at the right time to clean the selected surface from the coat of pets.
Of course, each manufacturer produces different nozzle models that can differ in the quality of the used bristles, the width and the presence or absence of wheels.
Important! The nozzle floor-carpet with special wheels is more mobile, convenient and practical in use, as it does not subject the floor to various damages. That's why you should carefully look at the presence of wheels on the nozzle during the selection and purchase of a vacuum cleaner for cleaning domestic animals' wool.
If the brush does not have a special half-carpet switch and there is no possibility to change the length of the bristles, then it is worth remembering that they are the most effective only for the floor, and with the cleaning of the pet's wool they practically do not cope.
Electric brush-punch and wool
The electric vacuum cleaner can also be included in the vacuum cleaner kit for cleaning domestic animals, which are intended for cleaning of upholstery upholstery.
Device
This device is a special nozzle for the vacuum cleaner, which with the help of the built-in motor activates the work of a rotating shaft with a special bristle. It is thanks to the autonomous brush-drive motor that the speed of the brush rotation does not depend on the power of the vacuum cleaner, therefore it is possible to clean the fabric surfaces that need delicate handling.
Thus, it is very easy to produce a deep and detailed cleaning of upholstered furniture, pillows, mattresses.
Where is it?
Electric brushing-out is not suitable for all vacuum cleaners for cleaning domestic animals, as it is exclusive and comes with separator vacuum cleaners only. This is due to the fact that when using this device HEPA filters need to more intensively produce resources, so they need a very frequent replacement. That is why the electric brush-puncher is suitable only for separator vacuum cleaners, which have a very reliable air purification system and water filters.
Important! The difference from the electric turbo brush lies in a special vibration during rotation, which helps to knock out the accumulated dust. In this case, the amount of dust collected increases significantly.

In the super-modern age robot-automatic machines are gaining popularity. These manipulators can not boast of high-quality cleaning of the room, because for thorough cleaning of carpet nap cover in robotic vacuum cleaners is not enough suction effect.
However, with the daily cleaning process of the room, where pets are located, the manipulators can fully cope.
Device
The design part of robotic vacuum cleaners includes turbo-brushes that work with an electric drive.
Important! With a considerable amount of wool during the moult period, it is preferable to use a large dust collecting device, while for manipulators the capacity of such a dust collector is one liter.
It is imperative for robot automatic machines to include the "virtual wall" program to prevent the intrusion of this technique into undesirable places in the room. Thanks to this program, when cleaning, the manipulator should not enter this area.
Important! It is desirable to exercise control over the process of dust collection and not to leave pets alone with a robotic automatic device, since pet pets are afraid of vacuum cleaners.
Modern models of robots are armed with special lamps of ultraviolet glow. Along with cleaning the room, the functional capacity of these lamps is to disinfect the sexual surface and destroy the fleas and their larvae.

For special cleaning of the area from villi and wool of your favorite pets, there are special vacuum models. In conventional vacuum cleaners, the collected wool is quickly entangled in the brush and in order to carry out a further cleaning process, a permanent manual cleaning of the brush bristles is necessary.
Important! In specialized vacuum cleaners such a problem does not exist. Remains of the wool of pets are cleaned qualitatively from the carpet, they do not get tangled in the bristles, they immediately enter the dust collector.
Device
Vacuum cleaners for cleaning domestic animals usually have special tools that increase the effect after work. Among such attachments are:
- thread elevator, presented in the form of a small tongue - this tool very easily captures the wool of pets and sucks in a vacuum cleaner;
- silicone attachments with soft teeth - they easily adapt to the outline of upholstered furniture, delicately cleans the hair of pet pets simultaneously in three planes, so it gets to all folds.
Important! Firms-manufacturers constantly improve the technology of manufacturing brushes for cleaning upholstered furniture, carpet coverings and a smooth surface of a floor.
With a cyclone or bag?
Vacuum cleaners for cleaning domestic animals with cyclone filters for collecting dust arose much later than the products of burlap. Now the modern market is represented mainly by cyclone models of vacuum cleaners, which are equipped with a plastic construction to collect the smallest dust particles.
Important! Tiny pores of ordinary bags are prone to rapid clogging with wool, which leads to a reduction in the suction process. In cyclone models of vacuum cleaners, the technological process is based on the use of centrifugal force, which helps distinguish the impressive dust elements from tiny ones.
All dirt and dust falls into a plastic container. Household vacuum cleaners with cyclone plastic containers lack the problem of clogging models with bags.

If the wool sticks to the carpet
If the pet likes to lie on the carpet, then for a simpler cleaning of the wool it is necessary to lay a special litter on this place. In this case, most of the wool will be on the litter, and remove the remaining parts will be in not very large areas.
Important! Clear carpet from the coat of long-haired animals is much easier( you can do with a conventional vacuum cleaner), but short hairs are very stuck in the pile of carpets and require very thorough and time-consuming cleaning.
There are several ways to clean carpets from the wool of pets, without resorting to using a special vacuum cleaner for cleaning domestic animals:
- Using a wet broom, sweep the carpet - this will help remove half the wool, and the remaining hairs are raised so that the vacuum cleaner can collect them.
- You can use a wet cloth - this method is very time consuming and long, but it makes it possible to completely eliminate wool from very contaminated carpets. It is necessary to walk along the entire carpet with a damp cloth, periodically washing it from the collected wool under a stream of warm water.
- Special mittens for combing pets can also help in cleaning the carpet from the wool, because one side of this product is rubberized, which contributes to the adhesion of the wool. These gloves are very versatile, as they can be used for combing and cleaning.
- You can use adhesive tape to remove wool. To do this, you need to wrap your hand with tape so that the sticky side is outside, and then gently press against the carpet, periodically changing the contaminated tape to a new one. This method will help clean and upholstery upholstered furniture.
- The most rapid way is a mixture of 1 cup of water and 1 cup of conditioner for laundry, which must be poured into the spray gun and evenly sprayed throughout the entire area of the carpet. After that, you can easily vacuum the carpet and get rid of dirt, because this mixture makes the pet pet pet softer and supple.
Important! The easiest way to get rid of pet hair is regular vacuuming:
- For small pets, the best option is cleaning twice a week.
- For large animals during the seasonal moult, it is worth cleaning the carpet every other day, since the hairs do not have time to get stuck in the carpet.
Now you understand all the possibilities of modern vacuum cleaners, and if you are ready to save yourself from the daily complex duty to collect wool, even with certain money spent, you only need to decide on a suitable model.
