Pet Hair Problems? The Ultimate Guide to Upholstery & Carpet Cleaning for Pet Owners in Redlands

As pet owners, we all know that no matter how much we love our furry companions, keeping our homes clean can be a constant battle—especially when it comes to pet hair. If you're living in the Redlands and are constantly wrestling with fur-covered carpets or sofas, you're not alone.

At Bellamy's Carpet Cleaning and Pest Control, we've helped thousands of pet owners across the Redlands tackle persistent pet hair problems. Our popular blog post, Fur-Free Floors: 5 Simple Tricks to Banish Pet Hair from Carpets, struck a chord with local families looking for easy home hacks. But what happens when those tricks just aren't enough?

This blog is your next step—a deeper dive into long-term solutions, including professional carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning for pet owners in the Redlands.

Why Pet Hair is Such a Problem on Carpets and Upholstery

Pet hair doesn’t just look unsightly. It embeds itself in fibres, traps allergens, carries odours, and even attracts pests. Vacuuming alone, especially with standard vacuums, rarely pulls out the deep-down fur. And while our previous tricks—like using rubber gloves, squeegees, and baking soda—work well for quick touch-ups, sometimes a deeper clean is needed.

Especially in Redlands' humid climate, pet hair combined with dander can turn your carpets and lounges into breeding grounds for bacteria and mites if left unchecked.

Signs You Need Professional Upholstery or Carpet Cleaning

Not sure if it’s time to call in the pros? Look for these signs:

You vacuum often but still see fur embedded in carpet or lounge fibres
There's a persistent “pet smell” that doesn’t go away
Your upholstery is stained from pet accidents or drool
You or family members are sneezing or itching more than usual
Your carpets feel sticky or matted despite cleaning

If you nodded yes to any of these, it’s time to consider professional pet hair removal services in Redlands.

What Makes Professional Cleaning So Effective?

At Bellamy's, we use industry-grade equipment specifically designed to handle pet-related issues. Our tools extract fur, dander, oils, and allergens from deep within your carpet and upholstery fibres—places your standard vacuum can’t reach.

We also use pet-safe, eco-friendly products, so your pets can return to their favourite spots as soon as possible.

For example:

Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning): Great for carpets, this method lifts embedded fur and sanitises surfaces
Low Moisture Upholstery Cleaning: Perfect for lounges and chairs, especially delicate fabrics
Enzyme Treatments: Target pet urine and odours at the source

Upholstery Cleaning for Pet Owners in the Redlands

Let’s not forget the couch—one of your pet’s favourite places to nap and shed! Upholstery traps even more fur and dander than carpets and is harder to clean. That’s where professional upholstery cleaning in Redlands comes in.

Our team assesses your fabric type and uses targeted solutions to remove:

Pet hair and embedded fur
Odours from wet dogs or cat accidents
Stains from paws, drool, or "whoopsies"

After cleaning, we can even apply a protective fabric spray to repel fur and spills in the future.

How Often Should Redlands Pet Owners Clean Their Carpets and Upholstery?

For homes with pets, we recommend:

Professional carpet cleaning every 6 to 12 months
Upholstery cleaning every 12 months—or more often if your pet sleeps on the furniture
Spot cleaning immediately after accidents (call us for advice anytime!)

Regular cleaning not only keeps your home clean—it prolongs the life of your carpets and lounges.

DIY in Between: Keeping on Top of Pet Hair

Professional cleaning gives you a fresh start, but ongoing maintenance matters. Here are a few tips to hold you over between cleanings:

Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter and pet brush roll
Keep a lint roller or squeegee handy for daily touch-ups
Use washable throws or blankets on pet-favourite spots
Brush your pets regularly to reduce shedding
Sprinkle baking soda on carpets before vacuuming to loosen fur and absorb odours

And when in doubt? Call Bellamy's!
