How clean is your place? Honest answers pls....

With now 3 cats and a semi log haired GS, despite vacuuming every day and moping every day..... I live in a kennel/cattery of the worst sort.

Cat/dog hair everywhere, bedding covered in hairballs, hair in food, hair in bath.....

Pls tell me it is not just me?

Some places people wipe their shoes when they enter - at mine they have to wipe their shoes when they leave....

sigh....

  • mmmmm I'm a bit of an oddball in that I'm very clean but even more messy:o (yes I do lift stuff to clean under it and then put it back!;)).

    But .... there's still hair as it's impossible (2 cats - 1 semi-long haired & 1 very hairy & constantly moulting lab) to get it 100% hoovered up.

    Rising - you off my buddy's list now :P

    LOL
  • Pet fur isn't actually dirt, though. Just fluff. Fluff doesn't count. A layer of fluff will protect your carpets from wear and add extra insulation.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    Or you could always get yourselves a Bengal, especially the brown spotted version :D. My Spotty boy doesn't seem to moult at all, even when I brush/comb him, I only get one or two single hairs off him at the most :rotfl: His sister, who is a snow, does have a little more fluff about her.

    .. which reminds me of an ad I seen once "Will swap mother-in-law for a dog - dog can have rabies, no problem"
  • At the moment mine is a very hairy house.. my old well used vacuum gave up the ghost 2 weeks ago and I bought a cheap one to tide me over which lasted 6 days and has now been returned to manufacturer awaiting a refund into my account so that I can buy another one.. currently sweeping my carpets.... not good!!!! (Why did I get white and grey pets!?!?!)

    Spike - you a man, you hoover?

    I thought men lift their feet as their contribution to housework?
