You could get a microfiber washable type swiffer?

Those work on actual swiffers, but I know vileda has similar things that you can buy 2 or 3, so that when you have one in the wash there is always another on hand.

Ha, when I run short of Swiffer refills I just attach a regular size paper towel. Viva works well but any brand does the trick. Dampen it a little bit if you like, but just a bit. :)

I use a wet/dry mop by Rubbermaid called Rubbermaid Reveal. It's only about 20 bucks, and when it's just dog hair and dust I use the dry dusting pad with all the microfiber fingers. It velcro's to the bottom of the mop head, grabs up all the hair and then I shake it off outside. The microfiber pads are machine washable when they get dirty too. Works great!

We are fans of the “furminator” also.

This is my go-to tool for the fur…Libman, removable and washable. I take it outside, in between washings and remove the fur with a stiff floor broom. Works great. $12.95 at Home Depot and lots of other stores.

I have a cordless Dyson that is amazing, but much more expensive than Swiffer refills!

have you ever heard of flylady? i think her floor duster mop head and rubba scrubba would be very useful to you. flylady.net No, no affliation, just a satisfied customer too.

Go buy a $5 pair of gardening gloves with the rubberish palm, take you dog outside and give her a good massage, and you'll get a ton of hair out.

I have a yellow lab and an American Eskimo with long white hair, and one of their 'treats' is what we call 'Spa Day' where I groom them sitting on the lawn. At certain times of the year, I leave the hair on the grass for the sparrows to use in building their nests. It's so adorable to see them carry the hair away.

I have an American Eskimo mutt, and I shave him down. His fur is more suited for where he came from (northern Germany, not southern California where I live). That has cut the volume of shedding quite a bit. I also brush him regularly - he's not in love with his fumigator though it works like a charm. My main problem is the rug. I think his fur is now matted into my expensive Persian rug! argh.

KShoa, I have white hair everywhere, and am constantly vacuuming and picking it up!

We too had a lab that had a huge shedding problem, until the vet suggested we check his thyroid. Since we've put him on medication he's shedding has greatly decreased. Be cautious with the Furminator, pulling out all the undercoat might make the shedding worse.

Kshoa (Persian rug person). I have a sticky roller that has some green goo on it that works GREAT on getting the matted hair out of the rug. It is rinsable. It kinda has the texture of uncured rubber. I got it at one of those home shows at the convention center. Looked at it, but couldn't find any brand markings. It would be worth seeking it out - though. I have a vac that will pick up a bowling ball, but doesn't make a dent in the hair, particularly in the car matts too, not sure what about their weave makes the dog hair so reluctant to depart.

Good luck!

HI -- Did you know some breeds of dogs should never be shaved down . Like border collies for one . And dogs and cats shed the most in the spring and a bit in the fall . If your pet sheds more than that ,then there might be a health problem .

@britt I've considered using regular lint rollers on the rug but I think it'll take about 50 just to get the one rug cleaned out. Correct, vacuum cleaners don't do a whole lot - and mine stopped working about a year ago and I had no idea what it was until I realized every part of it was clogged with dog fur.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll keep an eye out. I bet Amazon has something like that.

On my tile floors I handle dog hair with a very inexpensive Bissell 3 in 1 that I purchase at WalMart. Right now it's on sale for uner $16.00. It picks up beautifully, the drawback is the floor attachment loosens after several months and will fall off when carried. After using it, I follow up with the swiffer for residual hair and dirt.
