For those of us who have pets, we feel that they are part of the family. We love them and in return are given their unconditional love. Along with that love, they give us pet hair, dander, and odors. For every hair we see, there are thousands deeper in the carpet, in the corners, and under the furniture. A normal vacuum will get the surface hair but leave the embedded hair and dander.
Miele, a German company and innovators in vacuum technology, has a vacuum cleaner that is made to not only clean what we can see, but to clean and deodorize that which we cannot. It is called, appropriately enough, The Cat and Dog. A traditional vacuum often times pushes more dirt into the air than it captures. Miele has a powerful vortex motor that will open up the carpet fibers and capture all the dirt deep in the carpet. Miele is a sealed system unit, so it will hold in the dirt and allergens and redeposit them. The sealed system will also help if anyone in your home suffers from allergies. The Cat and Dog vacuum will not only clean the carpet, it cleans the air with its built in charcoal filter. The charcoal filter traps odors so the vacuum does not sit around stinking up the air.
Anyone who has chased hair around the house knows that the attachments are key. All Miele uprights have a long extension hose that you can attach dusting brushes, crevice tools, and an upholstery brush. The Cat and Dog Vacuum also ships with a great turbo brush attachment for furniture, stairs, and dog and cat beds.
With the proper vacuum, having pets does not mean that you have to sacrifice a clean home.
