If only we could power hose a dog without them getting hurt from it-- and they actually liking it... Powerhoses work wonders on things you know...
The only chore I exceptionally enjoy-- is powerhosing the house. (we dont do it anymore, as the new house has wooden sidings)
Mmmm other than that, maybe buy one of those air purifiers for the rooms and the house. I used to have one because of my allergies were bad back then...
To be honest, in allergy season maybe just cut their hair so close to the body that it's less likely to pick up crud off the air? And when you bring them in, use a lint brush? Follow big wiping them down or bathing them (without using shampoo- I think perhaps just washing them with just water should be good without drying out their skin, as you're only doing it to clean off the crud out of them).
Do becareful if you get air purifiers, avoid ozone makers, and look up reviews. The one I had -- had a UV sterilizer (which killed bacteria and spores or made them inert)
