I Love My Kitties asked:


I have tile throughout my apartment, and I have 2 cats (one long hair, one short hair)… what handheld vacuum is under $30 (list price if you know it) and has a good enough suction to get the hairs?
I looked on walmart.com, but most reviews of $30- handheld vacuums said they werent strong enough when it came to the suction.

Or any other tips/tricks to get tons of hair off the couches?

    I use a lint brush – the fabric one not the sticky sheets though they would work too. I also found a brush made out of some type of rubber I think that was in the same area as the lint brushes that works almost as good.

    I wouldn’t waste the money on a handheld, they don’t do very well at picking up pet hair, as it tends to stick in the fabric of furniture. Instead, get yourself a sticky lint roller, either one of the rubber washable ones, or a peel-off tape one. I prefer the tape rollers, in my opinion they pick up the hair better than the reusable products.
