  Hay is like velcro to many carpets and fills a vacuum cleaner bag too fast. I wanted to share what I do when I clean my carpeted floor because it works quite well. Before I vacuum, I use a large slicker brush (the one witn the pointy tines) and run it over the carpet in areas where there is a lot of hay pieces. The brush picks up most of it and the rest vacuums up easily.

  Yes! I just discovered this recently. It also gets up so much shedded hair when I don’t feel like hauling the vacuum upstairs and just want a quick clean of one area.

  YEs I found that sweeping helps when I dont’ feel like dragging the shop vac out.
  
  I use the slicker brush on ruby’s wire cage bottom. Trying to get her hair out the bars. She has a nice big piece of plastic to lie on and she loves it. Wire just cant be comfy
