Lets face it! We all love our pets and enjoy the pleasures of pet ownership. However, none of us enjoy the hair they tend to leave behind! On the couch, the rug, our clothes, it seems to be on everything. It would be great if they could clean up after themselves but well getting everyone else to do that is impossible it seems! Let’s look at some tip for getting this hair out of our washing machines since it tends to stick inside there after washing some of these items.
Easily Remove Pet Hair! |Coin-Op Laundry Raleigh NC
First you will want to run a wash cycle with the washer empty. Use the hottest water temperature possible and add liquid fabric softener. Next you will want to open the door to your washer and allow it to dry out thoroughly. Once it and the drum inside are dry you can take a soft brush attachment for the vacuum cleaner and simply vacuum the hair out. You can also use a wet cloth to wipe it out thoroughly. Pay particular attention to the drain pump filter as the hair getting trapped inside can keep the washer from being able to drain in the proper way. You can remove this filter and clear out the accumulated hair.
Keeping the Washer free of pet hair requires some work ahead of clothes washing. Teach each member of the family to use a lint roller on their clothing BEFORE putting them into the dirty laundry hamper. Putting one of these lint rollers into each room of the home will help them remember to adhere to this really great habit. Keep one in the laundry room itself so that before placing the clothing into the wash it is there for another going over if necessary.
White Vinegar | Coin-Op Laundry Raleigh NC
Believe it or not a fantastic tip is to use white vinegar in the wash. Just add some to every load. It will really help keep the hair from sticking to your clothing by reducing the static electricity that causes it to cling to your clothes.
Making sure to empty your lint tray in the dryer each and every time you remove and add another load will also help since it becomes an endless cycle otherwise. These machines work together and keeping them both clean will save you time and energy you would rather spend on something much more fun!
Remember to fold your clothes away from furniture or other areas occupied by your pet. You will also want to be sure not to leave your cleaned laundry where your pet can use it for a nap! Pets love nice warm clothing….it attracts them to use as a great bed. Trying to keep your clothing and washer as hair free as possible can seem like an endless task. Taking these steps to prepare our laundry and to keep our laundry machines clean will help us in this ongoing battle. We love our pets and there is nothing better than cuddling up with them to relax us and make us feel warm and certainly loved!
