Spring is here, and while the warmer weather brings sunshine and fresh air, it also signals the start of pet shedding season. If you’re a pet owner, you’ve probably noticed an increase in fur accumulating on your carpets and rugs. While shedding is a natural process, excessive pet hair can become embedded in your flooring, leading to stubborn messes, allergens, and even unpleasant odors.
At Ultra Steam Carpet & Tile Cleaning, we understand the struggle of maintaining a clean home during peak shedding months. Here are some expert tips to keep your carpets and rugs fur-free this spring:
1. Regular Vacuuming with a Pet-Friendly Vacuum
Invest in a high-quality vacuum designed for pet hair removal. Look for features like strong suction power, a HEPA filter, and specialized pet hair attachments. Vacuuming at least twice a week—more often if you have multiple pets—can help prevent fur from settling deep into your carpet fibers.
2. Use a Rubber Broom for Loose Fur
Before vacuuming, try running a rubber broom over your carpet and rugs. The electrostatic properties of rubber attract and lift pet hair, making it easier for your vacuum to remove. This technique is especially useful for high-shedding breeds.
3. Wash and Groom Your Pet Regularly
A clean pet means less loose fur around your home. Brushing your pet daily with a de-shedding tool can significantly reduce the amount of hair that ends up on your floors. Bathing your pet regularly also helps keep shedding under control while removing dander and allergens.
4. Keep Rugs and Carpets Fresh with Professional Cleaning
While regular maintenance is crucial, pet fur and dander can still accumulate deep within your carpets. Professional carpet and rug cleaning services can effectively remove embedded pet hair, allergens, and odors, leaving your floors looking and smelling fresh. Our deep steam cleaning method at Ultra Steam Carpet & Tile Cleaning is designed to lift even the most stubborn pet-related messes.
5. Use Pet-Safe Carpet Protectants
Applying a pet-friendly carpet protector creates a barrier that repels dirt, pet hair, and stains. This makes cleanup easier and helps extend the lifespan of your carpets. Our team can apply high-quality carpet protectants to keep your flooring in top condition.
6. Freshen Up with Natural Deodorizers
Pet odors can linger in carpets, especially in homes with heavy shedding. Sprinkle baking soda on your rugs, let it sit for 15–30 minutes, and then vacuum it up to neutralize odors naturally. For a deep clean, professional odor treatment services can eliminate stubborn smells at their source.
7. Schedule a Spring Cleaning Service
Spring is the perfect time to give your home a deep clean, and your carpets deserve some extra attention.

Our eco-friendly steam cleaning method removes dirt and allergens without harsh chemicals, making it safe for both pets and humans.
