Best for high-pile (shaggy) carpets: Grandi Groom Carpet Rake Once you choose a handle and assemble your broom, you can tackle dog hair no matter where it hides on your floor. I highly recommend choosing a rigid handle – the telescopic one had a habit of loosening and collapsing when in use. From telescopic poles that halve in size to rigid 59-inch poles. There are a variety of handles to choose from. I mean, who wants half a broom? It can take a bit off pushing to attach the handle, but once it’s on, it stays on! My only complaint is that the handle and head are sold separately. 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. Interestingly, the Sweepa is nearly identical to another dog hair broom we reviewed, the much more popularįURemover. 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. The only thing I had to remove at the end of my sweeping session was a bit of lint that stuck to the front row of bristles. Instead, they push it along into a neat pile. Interestingly, the broom bristles don’t collect debris and hair. It remains rigid as you push it across your floor or carpet. If you are looking for a broom that will do your regular sweeping this is your best bet.Īlready have a traditional broom you love? Then, you probably just need a broom for dog hair and nothing else.ĭespite the completely rubber head, it doesn’t move or bend. If you have large areas of carpet, you probably want to check out our next two picks – they will get the job done better. A quick clean with a paper towel over the garbage can was all it took. Fortunately, a quick sweep took care of that too.Ĭleaning the bristles was simple. 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 clamp to secure the handle to the dustpan if you prefer to store your broom standing 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.

Yep, the handle is adjustable (and non-slip) with an optional extension rod. The rubber lip design makes sure every spec of hair to slides into the bin without slipping through the cracks. The handle is extra long and sturdy and comes with a dustbin that doesn’t require bending over to collect dirt and debris. It has a brush with four layers of bristles which are soft on wooden floors and angled edges for getting into nooks and crannies. This Kelamayi Uprade Broom and Dustpan set gets the job done for floors and hard to reach places like under sofas or tight corners.
