And how often should the carpets be shampooed? My husband is fine with the cat at his parents when he lived there, who has very long glossy fur. We just got married and moved to a townhome with more carpet cover than his parent's house. Any pet lovers with allergies have any recommendations? Obviously we will be keeping any cat/cats out of the bedroom, and none of the furniture is cloth (except for the couch, which we will get a slip cover for so I can just pop it in the wash to clean it, and eventually get a leather couch instead). We already have a great vacuum (Eureka with an enclosed Hepa filter, was very highly rated on consumer reports for pet fur/dander). I'm going to get a very good pet brush too and brush our future cat/cats everyday (we want up to 2 cats, but will probably start with one just to see). We plan on getting short hairs with courser coats since I heard that is better for allergies. Just so you know what we have though of in addition to cleaning carpets.Good carpet shampooer and carpet shampoo for cat allergies?
Hi there...consider using an enzyme neutralizer such as Nature's Miracle mixed with carpet cleaning solution. Cleaning the carpets quarterly would be sufficient enough so long as vacuuming is frequent. Over cleaning the carpets will tend to break down your carpet fibres quicker so vacuuming is key to keeping the dander minimal along with all the other things you mentioned.
Allerpet products are wonderful for helping with dander as well: http://www.allerpet.com/products/product鈥?/a>
