A practical guide
Pet hair is a three-place problem. Most of us only fix one.
It's on them, it's in the house and it's in the wash. Clear one, and the other two put it straight back.
You hoover on Saturday. By Sunday the sofa's grey again, your black jeans have a white haze, and the clean towels smell faintly of dog. It isn't that you're not trying. Pet hair moves: off the pet, onto the sofa, into the washing machine, and back onto everything you own.
Where it comes from
The fur goes round in a loop
- On them. A moulting dog or cat drops hair all day, and every cuddle on the sofa leaves some behind.
- In the house. It weaves itself into the rug, the cushions and the car seats, below where the hoover reaches.
- In the wash. Rinsed off blankets and clothes, some of it waits in the door seal and the filter, then comes back out on the next load.
Clean only one place and the loop keeps feeding the other two. That's why it never feels finished.
Not your fault
Why one fix never feels like enough
None of these is wrong. Each one just covers one place out of three.
Hoovering more
It lifts what's loose. What's wound into the pile stays put, and the haze is back by tea time.
The lint roller
Fine for a jumper. On a sofa it's full after one cushion, and it does nothing about tomorrow's fur.
Washing it again
It rinses the load, not the machine. Some of the hair waits in the seal for your next wash.
Brushing the pet more
Well worth doing. But what's already in the sofa and the machine stays there.
The fix
Ten minutes on a Sunday, in this order
Start with the pet and finish with the wash, so you're not moving fur from one place to the next.
Start with them
A few minutes with a glove or a brush, outside or on an old towel. Every hair you catch here is one less on the sofa.
Then the rug and the sofa
Short strokes towards you with a rake, then the cushions and the car seats. Pick up the clumps and bin them.
Then the bed and your coat
A quick sweep of the duvet, the throws and whatever you're wearing out tomorrow.
Last, the machine
Wash the blankets, then twice a month run an empty hot wash and wipe the door seal.
One tool per place
What's in the Whole Home Kit
| Where the fur is | The tool in the kit | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| On them | Cuddle Glove | A few strokes catch loose fur on your dog or cat, before it lands on the sofa. |
| In the rug and on the sofa | All-Surface Tool | The rake pulls woven-in hair out of the rug, standing up. The handheld scraper does the cushions and the car seats. |
| On the bed and your coat | Fur Wiper | Sweeps fur off the duvet, the throws and your clothes. Brush the head clean, nothing to refill. |
| In the washing machine | Machine Tablets | One tablet in an empty hot wash twice a month clears the drum, then a wipe of the door seal. |
| In the cupboard | Grooming Kit Bag | Keeps the tools together, so the Sunday routine takes ten minutes, not a search. |
Bought one by one, these come to £114.95. In the Whole Home Kit they're £64.99, with free UK delivery.
Where Meoggy fits
Break the loop in one go.
The Whole Home Kit puts one tool in each place the fur hides: the glove for your pet, the All-Surface Tool for the rug and the sofa, the Fur Wiper for the bed and your coat, the Machine Tablets for the washing machine, and a bag to keep it all together.
To be straight with you: nothing stops a healthy pet from shedding, and the kit works alongside your hoover, not instead of it. The rake isn't for knitwear or deep shaggy rugs, and it's worth trying velvet on a hidden patch first.
