We all love our furry friends but not always the hair and smell that comes with them. What is it about pet hair that makes it a magnet to every area of a veterinary clinic? Excess pet hair can drive us crazy, but it also can pose serious health problems for those who suffer with allergies or other respiratory illnesses.

By using industrial vacuums with 1 micron particle filters, our Veterinary Clinic cleaning teams efficiently and effectively pick up any excess hair. Because industrial vacuums have a more powerful suction than regular vacuums, they are more effective in picking up hair and do not clog easily.

Particle filters on industrial vacuums can improve the indoor air quality of your clinic. Here’s a quick lesson on particle filters. One micron is equal to one-millionth of a meter and particles that are 10 microns or less are potentially respirable. These particles are the ones that if inhaled can cause problems for those with allergies. Owners with pet allergies are not actually allergic to the pet hair. The hair is simply the vehicle transporting dander, or skin cells and oils that pets shed, along with dust or pollen. Most pet dander is 2.5 microns.
