Pet Hair and Lint Rollers -- Roll and Throw Solution to Pet Hair

Ever had one of those mornings when you are ready to go, take a look in the mirror to see your sweater or jersey is covered with pet hair? Or get up from the sofa thinking you probably shouldn't have sat there since it is covered with beautiful long blond golden retriever strands or fluffy white cat hairs?

Pick up a couple of Lint Rollers to have on hand for a quick clean-up of clothes, furniture, car seats. For the uninitiated, Lint Rollers have around 60 perforated adhesive "sheets" that you roll over the surface covered with hair or lint. When the sheet is covered with hair and fuzz, just tear it off the roll and discard. Stash one in your bag if you when traveling. These rollers have saved many an outfit. Certainly affordable and beats scotch tape!

Pet Allergies--Consumer Reports Recommends Vacuums

According to a recent People's Pharmacy column responding to a cat owner with an allergic sister, pet allergies may be aggravated by vacuuming:

This sounds counterintuitive, but vacuuming during your sister’s visit might actually make her symptoms worse. Some vacuum cleaners actually spew small particles into the air and make the environment more allergenic.

As cited in the column, the October 2007 Consumer Reports has recommended the following vacuums for ridding your home of tiny alergy-causing particles
