Looking for some trusted advice.

Postpartum hair loss is unreal, and struggling to keep a white tiled floor clean. Sweeping and mopping at least twice a day, but the hair is everywhere. Hoping some tried and tested hacks on how to keep it looking spotless. Hoover and general sweeping doesn't seem to be getting the hair up.

Thank you

Silicone broom? Works wonders for long cat hair, even on carpet. They're pretty inexpensive and get out wads of hair even after I have vacuumed.

Try using a rubber broom, argos sell one with an attached squeegee.
It might help to spray the area lightly with water or tie a large floor wipe to it.

I'm really sorry you're having hair loss- I had this and I was devastated.
I took to only brushing my hair when I was in the shower (had to use a lot of drain declogger- sorry environment :-/ ) and kept it tided up.
If you have short hair, could you wear a head scarf/wrap while around the house? It would save having to sweep the hairs up.
Sending you big love. It WILL stop eventually, even though it really feels like it never will. X
P.a. Sounds weird but if it's a dry smooth tiled floor, could you try using a hairdryer to blow the hairs into one corner? I find my vacuum is rubbish on hard floor, it just pooofs the cats hair up and spreads them further.
