Pet cleanliness products

Keeping your home clean when you have a pet presents extra challenges. Here is a preview of an innovative line of products by Bissell launched at the recent International Home & Housewares trade show in Chicago:

• A new Pet Hair Broom ($25) has a design incorporating strong rubber bristles that work like a magnet to attract pet hair.

• The Shed Away ($25) pet grooming attachment fits onto your vacuum and helps gently remove the loose hair from your dog’s coat before it lands on your sofas and carpeting.

• The Drool Cleaner ($7) is for those windows your cat is fond of rubbing his nose against or the sliding glass doors your dog salivates on. First, you loosen the smudges and dirt with the foaming brush, then you squeegee it off.
