Owning pets is pure joy, until you sit down and realize your couch looks like a fur coat. If you’ve ever struggled to figure out how to get pet hair out of furniture, you know how frustrating it can be. No matter how often you vacuum or brush, it seems like dog and cat hair finds its way back onto your couch, chairs, and cushions almost instantly. Pet hair doesn’t just ruin the look of your home: it clings to upholstery, embeds deep into fabric, and resists even the most determined cleaning efforts. Learning how to properly remove pet hair from furniture is more than a matter of aesthetics. Built-up fur traps allergens, creates unpleasant odors, and can even damage your fabric over time. In this guide, we’ll walk you through effective strategies and tools that work fast without the constant battle against fur. How to Get Pet Hair Out of Furniture: Step-by-Step Guide You don’t need a full remodel to reclaim your furniture. Here’s a simple, effective process to banish pet hair (dog, cat, or otherwise). Step 1: Remove Covers and Shake Them Outdoors Start by unzipping any removable cushion covers or throws. Take them outside and give them a vigorous shake. This removes loose fur and makes the next steps easier. Step 2: Vacuum Pet Hair from Sofas, Chairs, and More Whether it’s your couch, armchair, or the dog’s favorite bean bag—start with a thorough vacuuming session. Use an upholstery attachment and go over every cushion, seam, and crevice to lift as much loose hair as possible. This sets the stage for more targeted cleaning later. Dog hair is often thicker and coarser, embedding deep into fabrics. If your dog has claimed the couch as their throne, you’ll need powerful suction to pull that hair out. The Dreame Z30 or Z20 cordless vacuums are designed with pet owners in mind—featuring brush tools that dig into fibers without damaging the fabric. Cat hair is lighter and tends to cling via static. It can float into tight corners or cover surfaces in a fine layer. To remove it, lightly mist the area with water or anti-static spray, then use a soft brush attachment to lift the fur without spreading it further. Step 3: Use Brushes or Rubber Gloves to Target Stubborn Fur For hair that refuses to budge, put on rubber gloves and run your hands over the surface. The static created pulls hair into clumps. Alternatively, use a pet hair brush for furniture designed to grab stubborn fur from hard-to-reach areas. Step 4: Spray, Lint Roll, and Wipe Fabric softener diluted with water in a spray bottle helps reduce static and release fur from upholstery. Follow with a lint roller or a dry-cleaning sponge for delicate materials. Final Touch: Wipe with Microfiber & Re-cover A damp microfiber cloth picks up any remaining hair and static. Once clean, re-cover your furniture and consider placing pet-friendly throws for easier future cleaning. Pro-Grade Pet Hair Removal Tools That Save Time Time is precious—and the right tools can make pet hair cleanup a breeze. Recommended Vacuums for Pet Hair Not all vacuums are created equal. The Dreame Z30 and Z20 cordless vacuums combine powerful suction with pet-specific attachments that tackle even embedded fur. These two models stand out because of many qualities: High-efficiency suction that pulls up pet fur without damaging upholstery. Specialized attachments for furniture, stairs, and even car seats. Cordless design for maximum maneuverability.

Keep Pet Hair at Bay: Maintenance Habits That Work Removing pet hair once is helpful, but preventing buildup is even better. Here’s how: Vacuum weekly using pet-specific tools like cordless vacuums to prevent deep-set fur. Use washable throws on pet-favorite spots like the couch arm or backrest. Brush your pet regularly to reduce shedding indoors. Use anti-static sprays or dryer sheets on furniture to minimize cling. Train pets to stay off certain furniture pieces if possible. FAQ： What is the best pet hair remover for furniture? The best pet hair remover depends on your needs. For deep cleaning, cordless vacuums like the Dreame Z30 or Z20 outperform brushes and rollers. For quick touch-ups, lint rollers and microfiber cloths are handy. Can I vacuum leather furniture? Yes, but use a soft brush attachment and low suction. Always test on a small spot first to avoid scratching or discoloration. How often should I clean pet hair from furniture? Ideally, vacuum furniture once a week if your pet sheds moderately. For heavy shedders, 2–3 times a week keeps fur and allergens in check. How does dog hair behave on furniture? Dog hair tends to burrow into fabric and is harder to remove without high-suction tools. Longer hairs can wrap around fibers, especially on woven materials. How does cat hair behave on furniture? Cat hair floats and clings via static. It often coats surfaces lightly and can be easier to wipe away with microfiber or rubber gloves. Conclusion: Enjoy a Fur-Free Home with Less Effort Getting pet hair out of furniture doesn’t have to be a constant battle. With the right strategy, tools, and habits, you can reclaim your space—without banning your furry friends from the couch. Cordless vacuums like the Dreame Z30/Z20 combine power and precision, making them one of the most effective solutions for ongoing pet hair removal. Pair that with simple daily practices and your furniture can stay clean, fresh, and fur-free—no matter how much your pets shed.

Cleaning a cooking oil spill on your kitchen floor can be tricky. Water and oil don't mix, so water-based cleaners won't do the job alone.  But no worries—there are some hacks that make it easy and quick to clean oil spilled on your kitchen floor. Types of Cooking Oil Spills You Might Face When oil hits the floor, speed matters most—but knowing what you’re dealing with can make cleanup easier. In a typical kitchen, that spill might be olive, vegetable, sunflower, coconut, peanut, or sesame oil. You might also be looking at melted butter or rendered animal fat. These behave differently: animal fats and butter are high in saturated fat, so they solidify as they cool and cling stubbornly to surfaces. Plant-based oils stay liquid at room temperature, so they’re generally easier to blot and lift. The real challenge comes from oils exposed to high heat—like deep-fryer oil—which becomes thinner and seeps into the floor more quickly, making stains harder to remove. No matter the type, though, acting fast is the single most important step for preventing long-lasting damage. First Response: What to Do Right Away Contain the spill before it spreads: Immediately use absorbents such as paper towels, corn starch or kitty litter to cover the spill and soak up as much of the oil as possible before it spreads or soaks into the floor. Allow the absorbent to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a dustpan and broom or scraper to scoop up the saturated material. After removing the absorbent material, apply a fine layer of baking soda or flour to the remaining oily patch to draw out any lingering oil. Deep clean to remove residue once the oil has been absorbed. It's crucial to clean the area completely to remove any remaining substances that could make the floor a slippery hazard: Degreasers: A simple and effective degreaser can be made with a mixture of dish soap and hot water. You can use a scrub sponge to break down oil molecules. Follow up with advanced help such as the Dreame H15 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum to lift remaining oil and sanitize with high heat. Important: Do not use water on a large, hot oil spill. This can cause the oil to splatter and create a burn hazard.  Never throw water on an oil or grease fire because it can cause an explosive reaction. If you have an oil-soaked cloth or rag, wash it separately to avoid contaminating other clothes. Why a Wet and Dry Vacuum is a Breakthrough Cleaning a cooking oil spill on the floor can be challenging, a wet dry vacuum provides a breakthrough. Unlike some appliances that might simply smear the oil around, each model in the Dreame Wet Dry Vacuum Collection uses powerful suction to lift liquid directly off a surface and then gives it a hot wash. It's a game-changer because it removes the slick, hazardous oil in one pass, leaving you with a clean, non-slip surface with less scrubbing and paper towel waste. The most effective response needs to consider not just the type of oil spilled, but also the surface it has been spilled on. Surface-Specific Advice for Spilled Oil Wood Floor Blot up the excess oil, then use a wood-safe cleaner or a baking soda and water paste. Gently scrub along the wood grain. Laminate Dab the oil with a soft cloth to prevent spreading. A mild solution of dish soap and warm water is effective for a final wipe-down. Concrete Cover the spill with an absorbent material like cat litter. After sweeping it up, use a strong degreaser or detergent with water and scrub with a stiff brush. Kitchen Tiles Absorb as much oil as possible with paper towels. Use a solution of warm water and dish soap to easily cut through and clean the remaining grease. Want to see more floor cleaning hacks? Go check our bolgs: How to clean hardwood floors How to clean wood floors How to Clean and Mop Tile Floors How to Clean Laminate Floors How to Clean Marble Floors How to Clean Grout on Tile Floor How to Clean Linoleum Floors Choosing Floor Cleaning Solution Cleaning Options to Reach For When you're faced with a greasy cooking oil spill on your kitchen floor, dish soap is a go-to for a reason: it is formulated to break down fats and oils, making it easier to rinse them away. It's gentle on most floor types and readily available, so it's a great first line of defense. Degreasers are heavy-duty cleaners specifically formulated to tackle tough grease and grime. They're more powerful than dish soap and can make quick work of a large spill, but it's wise to check if they're safe for your specific flooring material to avoid any damage. Vinegar is a popular DIY natural cleaner. Excellent for cutting through mineral deposits and disinfecting, it doesn't have the same fat-breaking power as dish soap or a degreaser. While a fantastic all-purpose cleaner for many things around the house, it's not the best choice for tackling a cooking oil spill. For that, you'll want to stick to a good dish soap or a dedicated degreaser. The best backup to finish the job is some high tech help such as the Dreame H14 Wet Dry Vacuum that can clear and sanitize the floor in a few quick passes. Smart Kitchen Habits to Reduce Spill Risk Keeping cooking oil spills from happening in the first place is all about building some smart kitchen habits. One of the easiest things you can do is to never leave a pan of hot oil unattended. A moment of distraction is all it takes for the oil to overheat and start smoking, increasing the risk of a splash or a fire. Another simple tip is to use a deep pan or pot when you're frying to contain any splatters. And when it's time to dispose of used oil, let it cool completely before carefully pouring it into a sealable container instead of down the drain—which is a whole other mess to avoid. Small changes can make a big difference in keeping your kitchen floor clean and safe. Pro-tip: Create an Emergency Spill Kit An emergency kit should include a few essentials: a bag of baking soda, cornstarch to soak up the oil; paper towels for initial blotting; degreasing dish soap for breaking down the oil and non-slip rubber gloves. Store everything in a labeled container in an cabinet so you can act quickly. FAQ Q: Can oil spills be cleaned fully?  Yes, a cooking oil spill can be fully cleaned from a kitchen floor with the right approach and a little patience. The key is to first absorb as much of the oil as possible with an absorbent material before using a degreaser or dish soap to tackle the remaining residue. Q: Which cleaner works fastest? Using an advanced appliance such as the Dreame H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum is a fast and efficient way to clean up cooking oil spilled on the kitchen floor. It can suck up both the liquid oil and any absorbent material you've used in pre-treatment. Q: Can I use a robot vacuum and mop? They are no substitute for the hands-on actions described above, but some robot vacuum models can handle fresh spills that are not too greasy.   Shining and Safe A cooking oil spill might feel like a sudden disaster, but with quick action, the right materials, and the proper tools, your floor can be restored to its clean, safe, and slip-free state in no time. Dreame’s range of advanced cleaning appliances makes the process easier, delivering powerful, targeted performance to handle even stubborn messes. With the right partner in cleaning, you can keep your home looking beautiful—and safe—day after day.me.    

Timber floors are timeless. They’re stylish, durable, and warm underfoot, but they can also lose their charm fast if not cared for properly. From sticky spots and muddy paw prints to dull patches and water damage, we’ve all experienced the pain of cleaning timber the wrong way. In this guide, you'll learn how to clean timber floors step-by-step, discover the best supplies for each type, and uncover the cleaning mistakes that can do more harm than good. Let’s bring back that beautiful timber glow. Why Timber Deserves Special Care Timber floors are often the centerpiece of a home. They’re durable, allergy-friendly, and can last for decades when maintained properly. But unlike tile or vinyl, timber is naturally porous. That means it reacts to moisture, heat, and even cleaning chemicals. Common risks with timber flooring include: Warping or buckling from excess water Surface scratches from debris or harsh bristles Cloudy residue from the wrong cleaners Long-term damage from oil spills or glue In short? Treat it right, and timber will return the favor. What Kind of Timber Floor Do You Have? Before you start cleaning, it’s important to know your floor type. Different timber finishes have different needs. Solid Hardwood: Natural timber planks with long-term durability. Typically sealed with polyurethane. Engineered Timber: Plywood base topped with real timber. More water-resistant, but still sensitive to excess moisture. Floating Timber Floors: Installed without nails or glue. Usually click-lock planks with a timber veneer. We’ll explain how to clean each of these in detail later on. What’s Best to Clean Timber Floors With? The good news: You don’t need dozens of fancy tools. A few essentials and a solid routine are all it takes to keep timber gleaming. 1. Mop for Timber Floors Can you mop timber floors? Yes—if you do it right. Choose a flat microfiber mop that you can wring nearly dry. Avoid string mops that hold excess water. Always mop in the direction of the wood grain. Dreame Take Try the Dreame L50 Ultra robot mop for hands-free cleaning. Its smart pathing technology ensures every inch of your timber floor gets cleaned while avoiding over-wetting. Perfect for daily upkeep without lifting a finger. 2. pH-Neutral Timber Floor Cleaner Skip harsh cleaners or vinegar. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner designed for timber surfaces. These remove dirt without eating into the finish. 3. Vacuum for Timber Floors Vacuuming is often better than sweeping. A quality vacuum, like the Dreame X40 Ultra Robot Vacuum, removes fine dust and grit that causes scratches. Why it’s ideal for timber floors: Soft roller brushes gently lift dirt without damaging the finish Adjustable suction adapts to floor type to avoid wear Anti-tangle design reduces clogging from pet hair or long debris It vacuums and mops intelligently, saving you time and effort. How to Clean Timber Floors: Step-by-Step Guide Ready to get started? Here’s the best way to clean timber floors: Step 1: Vacuum Thoroughly Use a soft-brush vacuum head to lift dust, dirt, and crumbs. Be sure to reach under furniture and along baseboards. Pro-tip Set robot vacuums like the Dreame L50 Ultra to clean while you’re out. With quiet operation and precise room mapping, it cleans thoroughly without disrupting your routine, making it ideal for busy households or pet owners. Step 2: Mix Cleaner with Warm Water Fill a bucket with warm (not hot) water and add a small amount of pH-neutral cleaner. Follow the dilution instructions. Step 3: Mop Gently Along the Grain Dip and wring your mop until barely damp. Mop in the direction of the grain to avoid streaks. Rinse and wring often. Step 4: Spot Clean Stains Carefully For sticky spots or stains, dampen a cloth with a diluted cleaner. Gently blot (don’t scrub), and always test in a corner first. Step 5: Dry Immediately  Never leave timber damp. Dry it immediately with a microfiber cloth or dry mop. Tips for Efficient Cleaning A few smart tweaks make timber floor cleaning faster and help preserve that fresh, clean look. Here are some useful tips: Clean up spills right away, especially liquids like oil, coffee, or wine. Always vacuum before mopping to prevent debris scratching the surface. Open windows or turn on fans after mopping to speed up drying. Keep humidity levels at 40–60% to prevent gaps. Use felt pads under chairs to reduce scratching during movement. Adopt a shoes-off policy to reduce dirt and scratches. Set a robot vacuum to clean multiple times per week for maintenance. Pro-tip For deep cleaning, the Dreame H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum tackles spills without overwetting. It combines powerful suction and controlled water flow to safely lift sticky messes or grime—perfect for preserving your timber floor's finish. Cleaning by Floor Type Each type of timber flooring needs slight adjustments during cleaning. Floating Timber Floors Avoid soaking the joints, as moisture can seep into the seams and warp the planks. Use a nearly dry mop and vacuum with soft rollers. A robot vacuum like the Dreame L50 Ultra is ideal thanks to its no-mop zones. It detects flooring type and avoids moisture-sensitive areas, so you get safe, daily cleaning without risking water damage. Engineered Timber Floors These are slightly more water-resistant but still sensitive to heat and chemicals. Stick with microfiber mops and pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid vinegar, as it dulls the finish. Use a wet and dry vacuum like the Dreame H14 Pro for deeper maintenance without damage. Its precise water control and reach remove hidden messes safely and efficiently. Solid Hardwood This type requires the most care. Water and steam can easily cause damage. Vacuum daily with a soft-brush head, and mop with minimal moisture. Refinish every 5–10 years, and use cleaners labeled for hardwood. For deeper advice, check our full guide: How to Clean Hardwood Floors. Common Mistakes to Avoid Even with the right tools, small mistakes can still dull or damage timber floors. Here’s a table of common pitfalls and how to avoid them: Mistake Quick Fix ❌ Using too much water ✅ Wring mops until barely damp and dry floors immediately ❌ Skipping the vacuum step ✅ Vacuum first to remove debris that can scratch ❌ Using harsh chemicals or vinegar ✅ Stick to pH-neutral timber floor cleaners ❌ Leaving wet spots to air-dry ✅ Wipe with a microfiber cloth right after mopping ❌ Scrubbing stains aggressively ✅ Blot gently with a damp cloth and test first ❌ Using steam cleaners on timber ✅ Avoid steam entirely to prevent warping Important Never steam clean timber floors, as moisture and heat can penetrate and damage the wood fibers. How to Maintain Your Timber Floor A clean timber floor is great, but long-term maintenance is even better. Here’s how to keep yours shining year-round: Vacuum regularly with a robot vacuum like the Dreame L50 Ultra. Avoid high heels or dragging furniture across the floor. Add furniture pads and rugs in high-traffic areas. Keep humidity between 40 and 60% to prevent shrinking or warping. Use doormats at entrances to reduce tracked-in grit.

Wipe down electronics with a microfiber cloth. Finish by vacuuming the floor and under the furniture. Bedroom Start by stripping the bed and tossing linens into the laundry.

Wet dry vacuums like the Dreame H15 ProHeat vacuum and mop in one pass while breaking down tough stains with heated water, cutting your cleaning time in half.

Cleaning Surfaces in the Wrong Order Always clean high to low. Otherwise, dust will fall on already-clean areas. Experts at Homes & Gardens agree with the method, recommending that you start with high surfaces like ceiling fans and end with floors to prevent allergens from resettling and to reduce cleaning time overall. Skipping the Floors Floors collect the most dirt. Even a quick pass with a vacuum makes a big difference. Ignoring Soft Surfaces Curtains, cushions, and rugs trap odors and dust. Clean them at least monthly. Reusing Dirty Rags Bacteria can spread quickly through used cloths. Always switch to a clean one between rooms. FAQ 1. What’s the fastest way to clean a house?
