Household Cleaning Tip

Vacuum the Dog! Brushing your dog is a lot of work. And the hairs get all over. Instead, get out the vacuum cleanser. Add the upholstery attachment to the hose and give man’s best friend a good once over.

Note: This is not for all dogs. Some dogs run at the sound of the vacuum cleaner. If you start with a young puppy, you’re more likely to succeed.
