Aaaaarrrrrggghhhh!

I was vacuuming today and I noticed that it wasn't picking up anything. The dog hair was just clumping up and not getting picked up. I took apart the vacuum(one of those bagless kinds) and found it was clogged with Maya's hair. Any tips on how to keep the vacuum from getting clogged or an easier way to get pom hair up?

The bag less need to have fliters changed often. Are you doing that. We bought the purple Dyson, picks it up well. They have the rubber bristled brooms that are supposed to work well for hair.

We change the filters as often as it says to. Do you change them more often? And does the rubber bristles really make a difference. We have the normal bristle kind. There's hair everywhere! Its like a new accessory for my work clothes. Wink

Thanks for the input!!

Well my Dyson vacumm, I never have to buy a new filter, I just need to clean it. It s**k up hair really well. Those rubber brushes sort of just drag up off the floor. Have you ever pushed along hair on the carpet with a rubber bottomed shoe. It comes up pretty easy. Let me see if I can find a link to a brush,
