Instructions
Vacuum your carpets with a vacuum cleaner that contains a specific type of filter known as a HEPA filter. This type of vacuum cleaner is most effective at removing pet dander.
Steam clean your carpets. You can rent steam cleaners from carpet cleaners and home improvement stores.
Dust all surfaces with a high-quality duster. Dander can settle on hard surfaces in your home and in turn, end up in the air.
Place a filtering material over vents in your home, particularly in areas where you would like to remove pet dander from the air. An example of a filtering material is cheesecloth.
Run an air filter in your home to help remove the pet dander from the air. HEPA air filters are most effective at removing pet dander from the air.
Brush your pet outside at least once a week. This is a preventative measure.
