The positive effect of pets on humans is tremendous. For pet lovers, there are no words to describe the joys that pet ownership brings. They are like your best friend, confidante, home companion and no. 1 rolled up into one.

But pet ownership can have its downside, too: pet hair and dander in the carpet, on the couch, on the bed, or on your clothes.

Normal vacuuming and even steam cleaning can't remove pet hair and dander. Most of what gets picked up by your vacuum cleaner just gets re-circulated back to the air and winds up again on your floor and carpet. Furthermore, pet hair embeds itself into the carpet or statically attaches to furnishings. They even block traditional vacuum cleaners and cause them to lose suction.

Pet hair can be removed with the use of lint roller especially made for pet owners. This handy roller with a convenient handle picks up the tiny, almost microscopic "cosmic dust" that is on the surface of beds, couches, floors, counter tops, furnishings, clothes and other places where the unwanted hair lands. Try bathing and brushing your pets regularly. When you brush your pets, it's easier to control their shedding.
