Humans typically shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day, and so do all pets (though it’s true that some pets shed more than others). But while it may be nearly impossible to have a completely hair-free home, there are steps you can take to prevent hair from building up on your furniture, bedding, and other surfaces. Roborock and Mental Floss have teamed up to provide you with easy tips to keep your home as hair-free as possible, whether you have pets or not.
1. Cover your furniture
By purchasing a cover, you can prevent hair from accumulating on your couch or couch, whether it’s from pets or humans. You should choose one that is machine washable for easy care.

That way, it will last for months (if not years).
