Less than 6 hours after a full sweep/vacuum/mop, we have brown tumbleweeds all over the house. His hair is curly so it not only corkscrews into fabrics, but also tangles with itself to become rolling hairballs.
I had voluminous, curly hair once upon a time. I was always pulling hairballs out of everything. I shave my head every few days now. I don't have those problems anymore. Food for thought.
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.
😂 I'd have to shave my dog daily if that were possible! His fur is so thick that I can only get down to a 1/2" blade. And looks ridiculous at that short of a length.
Do NOT shave double-coat dogs, this is really bad for their hair and skin, and doesn't even stop the shedding. You can cause permanent damage doing this, for nothing.
Chessies have some of the most uniquely frustrating fur to manage that I have ever encountered. My friend had one in elementary school and I just opted to go sockless whenever I visited her house.
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.
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.
I'm also not personally interested in having too many smart devices in my house, but I'm glad that problem has been solved because that's a real nasty one
Yeah this is one of those good things to come out of ML/AI stuff. You can actually train a Roomba to detect shit and not smear shit all over the floors. Only really possible when you can actually reliably make the computer recognize poop from a picture.
Had that happen when we woke up and saw brown crop circles up and down the hallway stuck deep into the carpet fibers.....Didn't know to laugh or cry............
Yeah….so I have a robot vacuum I run offline and it smeared a turd around my whole kitchen. I usually run it daily during shedding season, but lesson learned and now I only do it if I’m around to watch.
I love the idea of a roomba but I'm so worried ut'll grab a cord and yank something down or unplug it (especially around mine and my husband's computers)
Yuuup. 3 cats, very active, not even long haired. When they start to shed (all at the same time, of course), give it one day for our white carpet to turn grey with fur (I know, I know, white carpet was the first mistake, but you can't be picky when you need a 9x1m.)
Vacuums just can't keep up. I'd be cutting hair out of the roller brush every day when I vacuum to keep up with it. Fuck that. Let there be hair. I'm not vacuuming every day and I can't afford to renovate.
I briefly had my friends 3 dogs for 2 weeks, vacuuming was a sisyphyean endeavor, ended up buying a robot vacuum that id run while walking them just so I could stay sane
All these people confused about how there’s so much hair and saying it’s probably never been cleaned. This is the amount of hair I brush off my cats weekly
I thought I’d get a Lab and it would be a low maintenance coat sorta dawg.
This motherfucker sheds all goddamn year long. I brush him twice a week with a slicker and a furminator and take a wig’s worth of fur off of him each time. And still— STILL— I walk through my house and a random toupee will come tumbleweeding past.
Seriously, I grew up with dogs. You could go to any carpeted surface in the house, pinch your fingers on the surface and come up with dog hair, always.
That's not true though, you don't what fur you end up when you get a doodle. I know a guy who got a golden doodle (goodle?) which shedded more than either of the parents.
My brother's black lab who is a hypodog (Trained to sense my diabetic brother's blood sugar changes, and alert accordingly) has a mission on top of their work... To make sure that every carpet whether just cleaned or new has at least few kilos of their fur in it. Except if it is winter. Then they make sure that they have rolled over every single bit of fresh snow there is... like a canine equivalent of a snowcat on a ski slope.
I have one of these scrapers. They work well. I have two furry little asshats. An English cream golden and a Great Pyrenees. I have never pulled up a FRACTION of the hair this person has extracted. They must never clean.
Probably faked to make a satisfying video. The carpet under is oddly clean like a vacuum would do, but that much hair there would be more than just a neat layer of hair. Probably used a shedding comb over that spot or something.
I have one of these and it could absolutely do that if you had that much hair - but when I let it get that bad it doesn't look like 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
Man, I moved into a house. Previous owner had cats. I vacuumed the carpets at least once a month for 8 years (usually more). I got a carpet cleaner rental and the amount of cat hair that came out after no cat had been in the house for 8 years and the floor had been vacuumed literally a hundred times… could have made another cat.
I may have exaggerated slightly for effect, but honestly, if the dogs weren’t there, nobody would know we had dogs.
She really is a genius.
IT’s kinda like the magician who hides the little red ball under the cup, and nobody knows where it went. Except she hides all the dog hair, and I’m scared to know where it all went.
Most likely a staged video. Have you ever seen those videos with rug cleanings? A lot of time they purposely make them look really dirty with easy to clean stuff that doesn’t stain so the cleaning process and the before and after looks amazing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is fake
I don't have carpeting, but one of my fluffy cats could do this in a week.
Ok, I'm exaggerating, but not by much. Every day I brush her, I pull off a kitten sized blob of fur. And I still need to run the roomba daily and vacuum the furniture weekly. And still sometimes I see a random fur tumbleweed float past.
I have a fluffy dog. I also have both a robot vacuum that runs every day, a normal.al vacuum and a dyson one with attachments specifically for animal hair. I can run all 3 of them on the carpet in the living room and you can bet the next day it'll be full of hair again

Ok, I gotta ask. (I have 3 dogs).
How long since that carpet was last vacuumed?
