Our beloved companions, cats, bring along with their sweetness the issue of shedding. Due to mating periods and seasonal conditions, cats can shed a lot, leaving hair mostly on clothes but also on couches, carpets, tables, and similar items. So, how do you collect cat hair at home, and how can you particularly protect your couches from cat hair? We will share with you special fabric couches with paw-friendly solutions offered by Doğtaş and some tips.
The first way to keep cat hair under control is by taking care of the cat. If you have a cat or plan to adopt one, you need to regularly groom it and pay attention to its diet to ensure its health.

For cats that shed, various methods can be tried at home. To clean cat hair from clothes and carpets, which cause unpleasant appearances, you can use different materials from lint removers to packing tape. Let’s examine these materials one by one:
Hairdryer: A hairdryer that you can easily find at home helps remove hair clinging to clothes. Although it is a shorter-term method compared to others, it is effective on clothes like tights, t-shirts, and blouses.
Packing Tape: One method commonly used by cat owners is applying the packing tape on clothes. By quickly pulling the packing tape you’ve applied to your clothing, you can ensure all the cat hair sticks to the tape at once.
Lint Remover: One of the ideal products for those who do not want to struggle too much with cleaning cat hair at home is the lint remover. With this machine, you can attract the hair like a magnet and enjoy a pleasant time with your cat in a hygienic home environment. Along with the lint remover, a hair removal brush or roller will also be very useful. Paying attention to the usage instructions while using these tools can help you achieve effective results.
Laundry Dryer: One of the most effective and long-term methods for cleaning clothes with hair is a dryer with a filter. To remove the hair from clothes, you can add 2 unscented wet wipes along with the laundry to ensure the hair is removed quickly and effectively.
The fabric of some clothes may have hair-gathering properties. This situation causes extra clothing to fill with hair when your cat sheds. Especially cleaning cat hair collected on dark-colored clothes is much more difficult. Therefore, you should also pay attention to the fabric of the clothes and frequently ventilate the house during your cat’s frequent hair-shedding periods.
One of the places where cat hair clumps the most is the corners of carpets. For general carpet hygiene, you should vacuum at least 3 days a week and lightly moisturize and air the carpets. After this process, a lint-removing vacuum and hair-gathering apparatus will be very useful. With a lint-removing vacuum that can instantly pull stubborn hairs, you can quickly make your carpet hygienic.
While cleaning cat hair, attention should be paid to some points for both cat health and home comfort. Here are the points to pay attention to when cleaning cat hair:
Regularly grooming your cat and preventing hair from knotting,
Gently using specially designed hair grooming apparatus on cat hair,
Using soft brushes that will comfort the cat instead of hard bristle brushes,
Choosing brooms and apparatus that do not damage the floor while sweeping,
Emptying all the cat hair on the filter after the sweeping process.
While paying attention to the above elements, you should also determine whether your cat has any allergies. Additionally, their feeding routine can trigger hair shedding in cats. By paying attention to the quality of cat food at this point, you can prevent excessive hair shedding of your cat.
