3. Best Broom for Dog Hair on Hardwood Floors

This broom was designed for hardwood floors, and it makes the perfect solution for those that want to sweep up pet hair quickly and efficiently. We loved the fact that it has four layers of bristles, ensuring that fluff is collected with every stroke of the brush. 

The dustpan has a large capacity, which means you can clean plenty of space before you need to even think about emptying it. It also has a lid that will keep dirt and dust inside, rather than spreading it through the house while you are cleaning. 

It has a built-in scraper, helping to really comb through the area and get rid of as much fluff as possible. It has also been made to be wind resistant if you decide to use it for outdoor cleaning. With a completely adjustable handle, it makes for a more versatile experience.

Tips For Selecting The Best Broom For Pet Hair

Before you go and buy your brush, there are a few things that you should take into consideration first. After all, you want to make sure your broom is able to perform the task you want it it, but also that it’s good quality. 

Dog Breed. You should consider the breed of dog you have. A breed that doesn’t shed a great deal, like a Dachshund, won’t require vigorous raking of the carpet to get it hair free. 

Therefore, you can usually get away with shorter bristles. However, if you have a dog that sheds and moults frequently, you will need something with longer bristles to reach right into the fibres. 

Additional Features. Some brushes come with extra features that you might be interested in. This can include things like a vacuum cleaner attachment or accessories for getting hair off the furniture and our clothes. It’s the little things that make a huge difference when cleaning. 

There are also some models that have a built-in squeegee or the option to replace the broom head with one. While the built-in squeegee can be useful, it is better to use the models with a detachable broom head for better flexibility and reliability. 

Budget. While you will find brooms for pet hairs are generally very affordable, you still need to consider your budget and how much you are willing to spend. You will generally find that the quality of these brushes is quite evenly spread across price ranges. 

Ease of Use. Is it comfortable and easy to use? Is it lightweight and made with an ergonomic grip to prevent your hand from aching? A brush that keeps it simple and does its job well is what you need. 

A telescopic handle is often very useful, the same goes for a brush that is easy to clean or has a sealed dustpan that allows for quick emptying once it is full. 

Bristle Type. Most brushes use rubber bristles as these are gentle on both carpets and hardwood floors. However, you can also find models with metal bristles that are specifically made for carpets. Some use plastic bristles, but these are brittler and less durable. 

Type of Surface to Sweep. Do you need to clean hardwood floors, carpets, both? Not every brush is made to handle every surface, so you will need to look carefully before you buy. Some are even able to cope with wet messes or can be used outside to clean spaces such as the patio.
