clean up pet hair

Common attachments for removing pet hair are crevice tools for narrow gaps, upholstery tools for sofas and cushions, pet multi-tools (often a hard-bristle brush plus an upholstery nozzle), dusting brushes for delicate surfaces, and onboard pet tools that store on the machine for quick use on stairs and furniture.

Pet-hair cleaners in the listings support both carpet and hard floors, including tile, sealed hardwood/wood, laminate, linoleum, vinyl, rubber floor mats, pressed wood floors, and area rugs.

Many models are corded electric and run continuously while plugged in. Cordless handhelds and sticks use lithium-ion batteries and typically list run times in the range of about 8–20 minutes.

Typical maintenance includes running a self-clean or rinse cycle and using the rinse & cleanout tray, emptying dirty-water tanks, disassembling and rinsing brush rolls, and using a pet-hair strainer to remove hair from dirty water.
