This is near nothing, depending on the breed.
I had a 180 lbs long haired Saint Bernard once. I could brush his coat to shed his fur, and I'd be able to fill two large shopping bags just with fur - and then my wife would still question whether or not his coat had been done at all.

Or... a whole new carpet! I reckon if you walk on it long enough while it accumulates, it may start to felt. Give it a year, and you can just pull off the new carpet.

I love my hardwood floors, but they’re a massive problem for my senior dog, so I’ve got rugs everywhere right now. Rugs are a great balance. They can define a space, like a sitting area in a larger room. And they add color and warmth. They’re not that hard to keep clean if you don’t eat over them, and have a washable rug at the entrance so your dog can wipe their paws as they come in.

Same. I did all expensive hardwood through the entire house for cleanliness and aesthetics reasons. And afterwards I felt like you couldn’t have a private bedroom conversation or …anything… anymore. And instantly regretted it. Tried to get over it. Didn’t get over it.
Ended up carpeting the bedrooms and the office. I don’t have pets, or kids that live with us, and we don’t wear shoes in the house.
Most of the house is hard wood floors. But the bedrooms are clean, high quality, comfortable carpets.
And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Shaving a shedding breed dog (like a husky or retriever or shepherd, etc) does not stop the shedding - the hair that sheds is just shorter. Plus you damage the dog's coat - possibly irreparably. It's not like human hair in the slightest.

A roomba a day keeps the fur away.
I never saw so many hair in one place and my robot is doing his daily round. Just get one (can be any other brand) and zero fur. Mine also has the auto cleaning mode so I can forget about him and do a general cleaning once a week.

u/Environmental_Fix488 6h ago
Yeah, it will not happend. In best case it will send you a photo of that turd and it will say that it cannot clean that zone. My kids are little and sometimes they leave their toys everywhere (small and big ones). If roomba detects that, will send me a photo and will ignore that zone.
So no, a smart one will not drag shit everywhere on your house.

Not OP, but I've had that...
At max we had three dogs (2 goldens and a lab mix) and four cats. Back then I raked/vacuumed somewhere everyday. That would have been about a weekish (maybe a little longer) somewhere the Goldens spent a lot of time sleeping.
Didn't help that the Goldens I had then did everything imaginable to avoid being brushed.

We have two dogs and set the roomba off daily in the morning and deep clean once a week. We have a carpet scraper for our bedroom (the only carpeted room besides a rug in the living room) that we use when we deep clean. Even once a week doesn't feel like enough because there is *so much* fur that just clings to the carpet! 10/10 recommend to really get in there but also 0/10 because it highlights how gross our home is

Most of these type of posts are ads. You'll usally see OPs alt account commenting something like "Through some internet sleuthing I found the link". At best it's an affiliate link, at worst it's a scam or even phising attempt. Since there is no link, I'm assuming it was one of the bad ones and it was blocked/removed.
Also note: You can achieve almost the same with a rubber squeegee.

The little versions are perfect for furniture or the car. It’s basically a miracle for cleaning up the car.
