Living with multiple Siberian Huskies brings us so much joy and love. However, it also means dealing with the challenges of managing endless fur and the constant battle of keeping our home clean. We want to share our secrets to maintaining a spotless living space with the help of the Shark AI Robot Vacuum and 2-in-1 Mop and Vacuum, along with the importance of frequent grooming, brushing, and blowouts for our beloved Huskies.

  1. Robot Vacuums: We tried many different vacuums, including the Dyson, explicitly designed for pet homes. With the need for daily rounds of vacuuming, we decided to take a chance on a robot. We are so glad we did! Robot vacuums, such as the Shark AI Robot Vacuum and 2-in-1 Mop and Vacuum, have revolutionized how we tackle the constant shedding of our Huskies. They have powerful suction, self-cleaning brushes, and advanced navigation systems to effortlessly collect pet hair, dander, and debris from various surfaces. With two, we program one to vacuum the house every morning, followed by the mopping robot to keep our floors squeaky clean. When the dogs have too much fun outside, a quick spot is clean, and things are sparkling!

  2. Frequent Grooming and Brushing: Regular grooming and brushing sessions play a vital role in keeping our Huskies' coats healthy and minimizing excess shedding. By incorporating a grooming routine into our Huskies' lives, we not only maintain their overall well-being but also reduce the amount of loose hair that finds its way into our living spaces. Brushing helps to remove loose fur before it settles on furniture and floors, significantly reducing the need for constant vacuuming. We brush all our dogs as needed, but generally, at least once a week. Frequency is all about the season and the dog. If you want to do a de-shedding brush, we recommend a good comb and the line brushing technique.

  3. Blowouts: A Husky's Best Friend Blowouts, also known as undercoat removal, are an essential grooming technique for Huskies. This process involves using a high-velocity dryer or specialized grooming tools to remove the dense undercoat responsible for most shedding. Regular blowouts help to manage shedding by removing the loose undercoat and preventing excessive fur accumulation in our homes. You can take your dog to the groomer for a blowout, but we also recommend having a high-velocity pet dryer in your home. You can buy an inexpensive one on Amazon, and they are life savers, both for undercoat management and quick dry-offs after bathes or romps in the rain.

  4. Maintaining a Clean Environment: In addition to robot vacuums and grooming, there are other strategies we employ to maintain a clean living environment with our Huskies:

  • We regularly wash pet bedding and blankets to minimize odors and hair accumulation.

  • We use washable covers for furniture to protect against fur and stains. We have stylish but waterproof blankets on all the beds so that the dogs can come up for a snuggle without requiring constant bedding washing.

  • We keep a lint roller or pet hair remover handy for quick touch-ups on clothing and upholstery.

  • We implement a consistent cleaning schedule, including regular sweeping or vacuuming of high-traffic areas. We leverage a daily schedule starting with an early morning clean by the robot vacuum and a much-needed afternoon mop.

Living with multiple Huskies requires proactive measures to keep our homes clean and fur-free. The combination of robot vacuums like the Shark AI Robot Vacuum and 2-in-1 Mop and Vacuum, along with frequent grooming, brushing, and blowouts, has been a game-changer for maintaining a spotless living space. These techniques not only save us time and effort but also contribute to the overall health and well-being of our beloved Huskies. With some help from technology and proper grooming practices, we can enjoy a clean and harmonious environment alongside our furry companions.
