As women, we are all familiar with the sight of hair shedding everywhere, from the bathroom to the living room floor, and even on the bed. Some people even joke that if they visit a house and don’t see hair everywhere, it means there are no women there.
When it comes to hair, it’s either a little shedding or a lot, with rarely any instances of no shedding at all. Countless strands of Keratin fall loose, and we have to collect them, feeling sadder with each passing moment.
We can’t help you stop your hair from shedding overnight, as it is a long process of caring for and nourishing “one part of ourselves”. However, we can help you gather up all the shed hair in a jiffy, whether you have a vacuum cleaner or not.

1. Attach a plastic bag to the broom
When it comes to sweeping the floor without a vacuum cleaner, using a broom is a given. However, if there is too much shed hair on the floor, after sweeping, the hair will stick to the broom bristles, regardless of the material. This means you will have to sit there and carefully pluck each hair strand from where it doesn’t belong and throw it away in the trash, doubling your sadness.
To solve this problem, all you need to do is attach a plastic bag to the broom and sweep as usual. When the plastic bag comes into contact with the floor and hair, the hair will stick to the bag. After sweeping, you just need to remove the bag, turn it inside out, and you will be able to gather all the shed hair.

If you have pets like dogs or cats, you can also use this method to clean their fur without causing them to go flying everywhere and reduce the chances of inhaling pet hair after each sweeping.
2. Wrap paper towel around the vacuum cleaner filter
If you own a cheap vacuum cleaner that doesn’t separate the dust collection container from the filter, try wrapping a layer of paper towel around the filter. Although this will slightly reduce the power and suction of the vacuum cleaner, it will make cleaning the filter much easier.

Another tip when using a cheap vacuum cleaner is to regularly clean out the dust container. Most cheap vacuum cleaners don’t have a separate dust storage compartment, and if you don’t clean it regularly, too much debris will accumulate inside the vacuum cleaner, reducing its suction power and causing unpleasant odors when used.
These are two small tips to help you quickly clean up shed hair and fur on the floor. Give them a try next time you clean your house!
