Yes, You Actually Do Need a Good Vacuum — Here's Why

If your pet is prone to making messes, a regular vacuum may not be enough. Bolster your cleaning tools by adding a pet-specific solution such as this Bissell Pet Stain Eraser PowerBrush Deluxe ($120, originally $134). Its rotating brush (along with a special wet cleaning solution) make dirt and accidents disappear from carpets and rugs almost instantly. It's cordless, too, so you can grab it and go.
