Welcome to my world! Hahaha. We have laminate floors in our rental also, and I can sweep and vacuum all day every day but alas Heidi fur will prevail. But this is what I do. I sweep first (and make sure you get the cracks) and then i vacuum (we have a Dirt Devil something thats made for barefloors and its bagless) after ive swept. Then i swiffer it. It seems to help, but i think part of being a dog owner with a dog that sheds is accepting the fact that the fur and hair is always going to win, no matter how hard you try. Butr there are tools to help with battling it so it doesnt look like a small dog exploded in your house. Good luck and keep us posted!
