Best Pet-Friendly Curtains that Look and Feel Amazing
This one is for all of the pet owners, whether you are cat owners or dog owners, and for those future furry friend owners. Have you ever wondered how to maintain their hair when it comes to the fabric in your home ? This is by far one of the hardest things about pets living in homes.
Maintaining the dog hair and the cat hair and the mess it can make in your home feels like a job in itself.
I grew up with pets in my home my entire childhood! As an adult now I have two cats and a dog. Honestly, I really don’t know if I could ever live without pets in my home.
But, one thing I could live without is the hair mess that comes along with them. Specifically my curtains were the worst of the animal hair problem. They were like magnets and really good ones for all the pet hair in our home.
This drove me crazy, always washing or trying to vacuum them. I set out determined to find a solution for a more pet friendly curtain. You’re not gonna believe what fabric they are made from🤯
I realized it wasn’t the pets that were the problem, it was the type of fabrics in our home. They were the problem and trapped hair like a magnet. Let’s get into how I can help you keep your home free of a little less pet hair with these Pet Friendly Curtains I discovered!
How to keep up with dirty floors from your pets?
I knew the mess wasn’t only to be blamed on the curtains. The mess our dog, Daisy, brings in from outside and the litter the cats track from the laundry room was another issue in itself. So, add all of this to the hair problem. Do you feel that this is just the way your hosue will be, as long as you have pets?
The answer is absolutely no, pet owners do not have to live in a constant messy house. We live in a modern day world and it’s amazing for situations like this one. Keeping up with the mess in your home from your pets can be a breeze.
But, how do I keep my floors clean with pets?
We found an easy fix for keeping our floors clean everyday. No, I am not talking about sweeping and mopping everyday. Because let’s be real, that is probably what it would take and I don’t have time for that.
Tell me already!
A couple years ago we got our first robot vacuum. This little tool has been a game changer that has helped us keep up with what the animals track through the house. It helps with not only the dirt they manage to bring in but their everyday hair build-up
I couldn’t believe it, for the first time we had floors that didn’t feel gritty all day every day. Walking barefoot through the house was the best feeling without them feeling gross anymore. We will probably never live without a robot vacuum ever again!
But, the curtains are a different story still when it comes to the animal hair. We may have fixed the floor issue but the hair that still gets caught in our curtains has not changed.
How To Keep Your Curtains Pet Hair Free
I started doing some digging to find fabrics that are pet friendly. We have a few leather things in the house because the hair will not stick to it, but the downside of leather is that it shows the nail marks from our dogs and cats.
Leather is my favorite because I know when I sit down I won’t be covered in animal hair every time. Brent is not the biggest fan of leather furniture because he sticks to it, so our sectional is a woven fabric. Compromise is what it is all about when it comes to having pets in the home.
Having a woven fabric couch is the worst when you have pets. The fabric easily traps pet hair and makes it hard to vacuum out. The woven fabric is the perfect place for the hair to weave its way in and not come out.
For the time being while we have this fabric weave couch, I have found the best option – a tool unlike any other for animal hair removal – this pet hair roller is the superior hair remover for any fabric furniture or carpet you have in your home. I always use this tool before I start vacuuming anything. You won’t believe the amount of hair it traps in just a couple quick swipes!
What we’ve learned is that if we can manage the majority of the animal hair before it gets to the curtain, that is in fact the best way to help keep our curtains pet hair free. But, it still does not keep hair from building up on them over time.
This pet hair roller is the real MVP! This durable option curtain fabric we discovered has changed the game entirely for us when it comes to keeping our curtains clean of animals altogether.
The Best Pet-Friendly Curtain Option
For years I have compromised to save money and used drop cloths as window curtains. They are inexpensive to replace if the cats decide to destroy them. I also know they will be easy to match throughout the years.
Well, not anymore. No more not being able to have beautiful curtains because of the cost or the cats and their claws and all the animal hair. The drop cloth curtains are great but they are animal hair magnets.
Tell me what these pet-friendly window treatments are already!
I have learned that there is truly only one kind of durable fabric out there that is pet friendly for animal hair. Velvet is a pet friendly fabric, I love that it is not only the best choice for animal hair maintenance but also has a cozy and luxurious feel to it. Let’s not forget as an added bonus these are also considered blackout curtains as well.
They come in a bunch of color choices and are so easy to maintain. Velvet is great for animal hair because it isn’t a woven fabric. The weaves of fabric are where the hairs will embed themselves into the fabric. No matter how hard you try to clean them you just won’t ever get all the hair out of woven fabrics.
With Velvet Fabric the hair just wipes off for easy maintenance and can’t weave itself into the fabric. You can easily vacuum off any hair that is just sitting on the surface of your Velvet curtains.
Where To Find Affordable Pet-Friendly Velvet Curtains
We have been transitioning our choice of window treatments in our home to velvet ones recently to become a more pet-friendly home. The only issue I had at first with this is the cost of velvet curtains. They are definitely on the more expensive end of new window treatments, especially if you have large windows and 9’ ceilings like we do. But, we will figure out a cheaper way because we can’t live without our four-legged friend family members.
I did some digging and figured there had to be a budget friendly option somewhere. I found one and it will shock you where I found them – these Velvet Curtains. The reviews were amazing for the ones I found. I ordered them immediately.
They are definitely the most affordable option I found at the $60-$70 range per pair. But, they often go on sale for around $50 a pair and that is when I will snag some.
Yes, I said for the pair. Because, anyone who has been curtain shopping and been shell shocked by the cost and then it reads only “1 panel”, I have been there too and thought the same thing, craziness.
That price I mentioned above is for the 108” curtain length panels. The shorter panels are less expensive and whatever size you will need to fit your windows. They also come in so many different color options. As an added bonus they can be styled multiple ways when hung on your curtain rod.
Who wouldn’t love a better option for pet-friendly window coverings?
We have the dark gray and royal blue color in our home so far. But, I am dying to have a reason/space where I need a different color. The colors are just like the pictures and even prettier in person.
