Highly recommended! The dog hair brooms that didn’t make the cut Oh, and I don’t need to tell you that the Grandi Groom is unsuitable for hardwood, tile and vinyl floors.īut if you have a high-pile carpet, there is no better tool for cleaning up dog hair. Small pieces of dust and crumbs just bounce around – it performed considerably better on high-pile carpet. While this rake works on low-pile carpets, it’s only good for hair and lint. The rake also lifted compressed areas of the carpet, making it look soft and new! A quick vacuum and the entire carpet looked like it had been professionally cleaned. Because of this, you need to go over your floor with a vacuum after brushing.īut it’s worth it. The rake brings dog hair to the surface of the carpet. The 18-inch-wide head allowed me to cover an impressive amount of area with each brushing movement. Individual hairs got trapped in the teeth of the rake and easily lifted out. At first glance, they look nearly identical, but we had to award Sweepa the winner on account of it being made from a thicker rubber, which made it substantially more effective on carpet.īut where the rake really shines is dog hair. Interestingly, the Sweepa is nearly identical to another dog hair broom we reviewed, the much more popular FURemover. Being made from rubber, it rinses clean easily. Besides a couple of long hairs that became tangled in the bristles (mostly mine), I didn’t have to spend any time removing dust bunnies and hair from the bristles. The best part about the head is that very little fur sticks to it. If you have a high-pile (shaggy) carpet, check out my next recommendation. The broom only brushed the top, and the bristles seemed unable to remove anything that was trapped deep inside the shag. When I tested this broom on my long, shaggy rug, no dog hair was removed – even though I could see it. Well, as long as your carpet is low-pile (short). This broom will give your carpet a new lease on life! For best results, use quick, short strokes with the squeegee side. If you’ve had your carpet or rug for a few years, you’ll be disgusted by what you find.
Running the broom over your carpet will pull crumbs, hair and all kinds of dusty things to the surface. I dragged it across the floor to ensure I didn’t miss any broken pieces – something that is always a concern with bristle brooms. I actually used this squeegee side when my daughter knocked a glass to the floor. I found this useful to remove stubborn fur that was stuck to my floor. The bristles really shine on hardwood or tile floors.Ī squeegee runs along the rear length of the broom head. Collecting crumbs and hair, nothing was safe. If you have hair under the molding, in corners or trapped against table and chair legs, you’ll want to sweep this out into the open with a traditional, nylon-bristled broom first.īut in the open areas, the Sweepa was a beast. Fortunately, a quick sweep took care of that too. My curious pup annoyingly followed along behind me rubbing herself on the carpet, leaving a trail of hair as she went. With the rubber bristles extended, I could scoop up any dog hair that was on the surface. Oh, and it works great on low-pile (short) carpets and rugs. Speaking of which, there is a loop at the tip of the handle if you prefer to hang your brooms instead of standing them upright. I imagine reducing the length could be helpful when storing the broom too. Being on the shorter side, I enjoyed the fact that I could reduce the length to something a little more usable. In many cases, I could bend over and pick them up without needing a dustpan. The nylon bristles swept up dust, lint and crumbs while the rubber bristles trapped dog hair into clumps. Once I swept dog hair away from these delicate areas, I switched back to the rubber to collect it. Rubber bristles for wide, open areas and switching back to the nylon ones when I came to corners and the edges of the molding. I found myself effortlessly swapping between the two on the fly. While the rubber bristles were great at trapping and collecting dog hair, they had issues in tight spaces and thin gapes, but that is where the flexible nylon bristles excelled. This unique combination of rubber meant that I could clean every area of my house with a single broom. Twist the knob at the bottom of the handle, and these extend out, allowing you to sweep up dog hair.
