How to Choose Your Vacuum Cleaner
There is a little more to do after deciding the
type of pet mess you want to handle with the
vacuum youre going for. You have to note a few
things when considering the different options
available. This isnt a super specialized
knowledge but t can definitely help you decide on
which type of vacuum would best serve your
purpose.
25
Your Floor Type

getting is for your floor, you need to understand
that floors come in different forms and as such,
some type of vacuums are better suited for
specific kinds of flooring. This is something you
need to understand if your pets have free reigns
after all, your kitchen, bathroom and hall floor
would likely be different.
26
HEPA Filters
you need to consider the HEPA filters if you are
allergic or have guests that are prone to air
borne dander. This reduces the level of allergens
in the house.
27
Corded or Cordless
this could be a little more cumbersome but they
are usually more powerful. It might be better to
get a cordless model if you need something for
light duty on the couches.
Attachments 
consider the attachments that come with the
vacuum. While some might just be window dressing,
others are necessary fittings to help the vacuum
work more effectively.
28
Budget
these pet hair vacuums usually get expensive in
no time and can easily cause harm to your
furniture. You have to be careful on how much you
spend especially if you are on a tight budget
however, if you can afford it, it is almost
always better to go for the more expensive models.

and furniture can now be completely free of hair,
fur and any other form of mess. Of all the models
