Floors
The ideal thing for you to do would be to remove all the carpets and leave only hard surface floors. Vacuum cleaners can do the job on a hard surface but switching to electrostatic or microfiber mop will prove to be more effective.
If you wish to stick with carpets, dust some baking soda all over the carpet. It will loosen the hair from the carpet and then you can easily vacuum it off. You could also use a rubber material, a glove for example, and simply go through the carpet fiber to stick the hair onto it.
Robot vacuum can help you a lot as well. It endlessly does the job instead of you and your pets will love playing with it. For more information on how to find the right pet vacuum for your floor type, visit floorexecutives.com.

Furniture
Make sure you vacuumed the floors first before you even touch your furniture. Otherwise, you will be stuck in an endless cycle of cleaning when the hair from the floor dusts back onto the furniture.
Like floors, you should use a microfiber cloth for hard surface furniture. The electric charge of cloth will attract the hair, and if you make it just a little wet, it should be sticky enough to wipe the hair of any surface.
To clean upholstery you can use lint rollers, rubber gloves, a sponge or anything else that creates friction. You can straight up vacuum it as well, but it can prove to be difficult for some specific areas and you might need to use few options.
Pets usually have their favorite place to hang. Use a washable blanket on that place so it is always easy to quickly clean. Make sure, as well, if you have a pet bed to wash it regularly.

Clothes
Clothes may be very challenging to keep clean. Pet hair is sharp and gets easily woven into the fabric. It stays on the clothes even after you wash them. You can use some liquid water softener in your washer which will loosen the hair and help remove them in washing.
Throwing your clothes into the dryer can do the trick as well. It takes only about 10 minutes to soften the hair and fabric which then lets the hair loose. After that, you can easily remove it with a lint roller.
Remember to keep one lint roller right beside the door for situations when you need to do a quick cleaning before you go outside. It will save you all the trouble of carrying the hair outside on your clothes.

Pets
Brushing your pets occasionally will greatly reduce the hair around your home. Each hair brushed is one hair less on your furniture. If you have the conditions for it, try to do it outside so you save yourself the time to clean it inside the home afterwards.
Some owners tend not to wash their pets regularly. It is crucial that you do, as it will keep the hair of your pet healthy and soft and soft hair is much easier to clean from any surface, including clothes.
