Linen’s natural fibres make it prone to wrinkling but also sensitive to excessive direct heat. This is where a garment steamer works wonders:
1. Strong Suction Power
Pet hair can get deeply embedded in fabrics and carpet fibers. Choose a vacuum cleaner with high suction power (above 200W air watts is ideal) to effectively lift both fine and coarse hair.
Tefal X-Force Flex 8.60 is a great example, with intense suction and smart speed control to handle everything from floors to upholstery.
2. HEPA Filtration System
Pets shed more than just hair—they release dander (tiny flakes of skin) that can trigger allergies. A vacuum with a HEPA filter traps up to 99.97% of particles, including allergens, pollen, and pet dander.
Look for a vacuum cleaner labeled as pet allergy-friendly or with certified HEPA filtration.
3. Pet-Specific Attachments
The best vacuum cleaners for pet owners include:
- Motorized pet hair brush: Deep cleans upholstery and carpets.
- Crevice tool: Reaches fur stuck between cushions or baseboards.
- Mattress brush: Removes allergens from bedding your pet may nap on.
- Mini turbo tool: Ideal for stairs, cushions, and car interiors.
Tefal’s cordless vacuum cleaners often include versatile accessories perfect for multi-surface cleaning.
