How to clean pet hair off hardwood floors

On hard floors, hair floats away from brooms and clumps in corners. The right tools gather it instead of scattering it.

Use a rubber broom

Rubber gathers hair into a pile with static instead of pushing it into the air like a straw broom.

Vacuum on the hard-floor setting

Turn off the beater bar (or use a hard-floor mode) so it suctions rather than scatters.

Catch the corners

Hair drifts to edges and under furniture — hit those with a tool or handheld.
