I remember months ago when a poster requested cleaning tips and we all gave some (I passed on my love of the Fuller Brush sweeper)... Well, I thought of another today I haven't passed on that is almost as awesome...
A paper plate. I keep a paper plate in handy reach (in my dish drainer) for when Stanley has a hairball. He has a long wind up period (gagging before the actual hairball), so when I hear him first start gagging, I grab the plate and put it under him. Keep ahold of it to follow his head... It catches the hairball. He tends to "throw-up" three times if he has a hairball, so I follow him with the plate. I then flush what is on it and throw the plate away. I started this a year or two ago and I rarely have a hairball on the floor to clean up. I hardly ever use carpet cleaner anymore.
He doesn't get sick too often, maybe once a week at most... Pookey never gets sick. If I do have to use carpet cleaner, I buy Dollar Tree carpet cleaner -- works the same as Resolve for 1/4 the price...
Anyway, a cheap paper plate will save you the hassle of cleaning up a hairball mess...
Anybody have any great time-saving tips out there?
