Clean house and a Yellow Lab?

I have a yellow lab that I love to death but he sheds a lot. I have a roomba and I sweep the floors as often as I can but my hardwood floors look dull due to paw prints. Can you please recommend a Steam mop? Also any other tips on how to contain the hair and mess? Thanks!

Re: Clean house and a Yellow Lab?

  • Buy rugs that hide the hair! :)  Regularly brush outside if possible (I love the furminator brush.  It's $$ but worth it!).  Bathe approx 1/month and again brush out.  Feed a high quality food (check out www.dogfoodanalysis.com for ratings) to minimize shedding, keep a carpet by the doors that the dogs go out to capture any wet paws. 

    The best thing that can contain it is frequent mopping/sweeping. 

  • I am in the same boat... yellow lab, hard wood floors and a roomba.  I also use the Shark Steam mop to clean whenever I can but its a no win situation. You will never clean faster than your dog sheds! but the cute face more than makes up for it when they look at you :-)
