!±8± Top 5 Vacuum Cleaners for Pet Friendly Homes

Australia is a pet loving nation. Dogs and cats are top of the list when it comes to pet choice. They can be a constant source of love and companionship in our lives. While we enjoy their loving ways we don't always enjoy the hair and skin they can leave around our homes. This makes a good vacuum cleaner an essential item for any pet owner.

Anyone who has had a dog or cat in their home knows that their fur can and often does go everywhere. Even shorthaired varieties shed throughout the year, leaving those fine hairs all over the place. From inside the fridge to the under the couch, pet hair is a constant struggle for pet owners.

Getting a great vacuum cleaner will help you keep this problem in hand. Having an upright vacuum and a hand held vacuum is a good idea for those hard to reach places. It is believed that upright vacuum cleaners are the only choice for homes with pets. Upright cleaners have motorised brush heads that are better at dislodging and removing those stubborn hairs from carpet and upholstery fibres.
