“HEPA filters provide the best method of filtration,” says Katerina Petrova of the Happy House cleaning company. The acronym to look out for here is HEPA: a high-efficiency particulate absorbing filter will trap 99.95 percent of particles down to 0.3 microns in size, which includes pet dander as well as pollen, dust and many microorganisms, bacteria and some viruses.

You want to make sure that when you vacuum the dander up, it stays vacuumed. The 'pet smell' in houses comes from dander: microscopic particles of skin, saliva, sweat and other proteins which can be as small as two microns (two thousandths of a millimetre) and can hang in the air for long periods of time, before settling into every fibre of your carpet and upholstery. What features should you look for in a vacuum for pet hair?Ī good filter is absolutely key.
