Pet Hair Removal

[DTRUONG_112]

I have two Shiba Inus and love them to death but they shed constantly and the hair gets into the car and the vacuum cant remove the hair. What do you animal lovers use to remove the stubborn pet hair from the carpet in the vehicle? Is there a technique or device that helps lift the hair out?

[dipolley]

I tried too. It is a matter of bibing th edog not to run away from the vacuum. But when she is vacuumed her leg is a kickin.

I'll have to give Nitrile gloves a shot for the tight spaces, but a couple of years back I bought a hair removal tool online that was essentially a pumice stone.

 

So, if you go to your local drug store, go to the beauty section and pick one up. You can also cut them to whatever shape you want.

 

Drags across the upholstry/carpet and collects the hair in one big pile to get vaccuumed up... works wonders.

I've heard of the pumice stone trick a few times---will give it a shot.

 

The gloves trick does work rather well, and it's currently the only thing I've tried that worked with some success. Originally tried it wet by lightly misting the carpet, but it seems to work better dry (for me, anyway).

I have had two Dysons. Loved them both until the chinsy plastic starts to break, then all the neodinium (sp?) motor and cyclone suction in the world won't help them. If they would just make them out of a more robust material, I would buy another one.

 

Now we get our hoovers from QVC, lol.

 

Mine's over a year old and I use it weekly with no issues. Nothing has broken.

Wow, beautiful pups. First one looks like mine, but a lot smaller.

Cool dogs man. One of my friends has something like that except it is a little more aggressive looking and darker hair.

Has anyone heard or tried the detailers stone? I might have to buy it to try it.

I have a lab. I use what the Wolfy does, only I do a couple other things to help.

 

A light mist of water, followed by a light mist of Febreze on the mats or carpets, nothing that will soak in, will A. Help reduce the static electricity in the pet hair, and aid in getting it from the carpet. B. Leave a nice little scent as you work.

Try the Dyson one... The way they designed it, it works better than any I'd used before. Most rely on the air flowing through the beater bar area to turn a turbine, but Dyson's sucks it in from the side so when you put it in the carpet it actually pulls HARDER than free wheeling. Pretty neat design.

I have something like that from my old Hoover. I tried it the other night with my new Dyson and it worked great.

What I use when the wife isn't looking! Mine is three inches wide and fits on a 1 1/4 hose.

I also have a Shiba Inu (named Chewy). She is mixed with a german shepard. So picture a 60-pound shiba. THAT is a lot of fur. We tried everything on the dog and finally got a furminator (http://yhst-21465808249783.stores.yahoo.net/). It works on the pup and she loves it and it works on the very old burbur carpet in the house. ( I don't recomend using it on carpet you care about, I have no idea what will happen. I have yet to try it in the car. I have also heard that a new, clean, toilet brush works well in the car.

 

Brush me!!!

+1 Chewy...I've found the latex/nitrile glove trick works pretty good.

and when i grow out my bread and hair i shed like a w0lf lol

[Chewy]

Best thing I've found is latex or nitrile gloves like mechanics or doctors use. You can get into tight spots.

2 ways to go in my experience:

 

Option 1 - tape lint roller, available almost anywhere, but you'll constantly be buying more. Each roll is only good for a couple uses b/c you be pulling off the top sheet after just one section of a seat.

 

Option 2 - Scotch make a pet hair remover thing call Fur Fighter... instead of sticky its like very fine velcro. It only works on certain material types, others not so much so this on is a hit or miss.
