0 redneck08sierra Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 wish i could help you out but I deal with the same stuff with my 2 labs. these cloth seats suck when it comes to vacuuming them and the carpet as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2013 with the cloth seats and they are a bear to keep clean. I don't even have a pet and half the time it looks like I have had a white cat in my truck. The material that they use is a magnet for anything and everything. I have not found any tricks to help keep it clean yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 blcksilv08 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have black cloth seats in my 2008 silverado and i have trouble getting the hair out, a couple times I have gotten to the point where i wrap my hand in packing tape(sticky side out of course) and vaccum with one hand and pat the carpet with the other.

My 01 cloth seats were awesome, no issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chuckster Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Get a large roll of Gorilla Tape and start pulling the hair out of the fabric. Wanna to see a "similar method"???????? Google: BIKINI WAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Odds and Ends Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Two words for pet hair on short pile carpet and cloth upholstery....... Latex Glove simply wipe the seat with your gloved hand and the hair will "roll up" as you wipe. Have the vacuum hose in the other hand and suck it up as you go, or just roll it all up and then vacuum at the end. - Darryl doombert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ryanbabz71 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 ^ +1 on the latex glove. Works great Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Schwag one Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have an Austrialian Shepard and feel your pain. I always vacuum first to get all of the loose hair up, then I take 10 inch strip if duck tape and wrap it around four fingers stick side out, then run my hand on the carpet allowing the tape to pick up everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LFairbanks Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I have never had a problem. I just usually hold the tip of the shop vac at an angle and run it back and forth. If you want me to specify which tip, let me know. I have 3 long haired German Shepherds that shed 365 days a year.

0 Marylander Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 A buddy of mine that has both a truck and a dog has the same issue, real bad. It sounds crazy, but he starts the cleaning process by opening all 4 doors and blasting out the bulk of the dog hair with a leaf blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pureshine Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have lots of customers with pets and I have a great rubber brush I use best thing I ever bought only cost $10. But can't tell you the name sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Z71_Denali Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 i'll try the duck tape, then the latex glove if that seems like too much work! thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MAYBEN Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 you don't like my suggestion? its cheap and works great, I've got a couple of them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 07RS4 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Ryan, if you PM your address, I have an extra pet hair brush you can have. It works OK....depending on the hair length vs type of carpet/upholstery. These work for me....some jobs take all battle plans: 1. Spinning carpet brush...there's a reason why floor vacs have brushes, they are the most affective method for cleaning carpet. 2. Nitrile gloves, an led flashlight, and patience 3. The brush attachments in this kit work well, but still require patience...this kit is sold at HD.

0 Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That's why I got the W/T silverado. Yah, I hate roll up windows and manual locks. But I love rubber floors and vinyl seats when it's clean up time. We just got a dog yesterday.... He won't ride in the new 300. Only the truck or my work van.

0 Chase@InsanePaint Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've used the Adam's carpet & upholstery brush, DRY, to rustle up the hair, and then vacuum.....then repeat. Again. And again. And again, lol.....you get the point. I will have to try the latex glove idea, along with the Fur-Zoff, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back seat carpet has been neglected, vacuumed only since day one. Luckily no stains, just per hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have a lab that owns the rear area of my SS. Latex gloves, glass handling gloves (EVEN BETTER) or a pumice stone. Don't use duct tape as you risk messing up the carpet if it sticks too much. Another method that has helped in my home is spritzing the carpet with a light mist of water, to eliminate static build.

0 Odds and Ends Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Ah, after following this thread, I realized that I said "latex" gloves in my original post. They will work, but what I really meant to say was "nitrile" gloves. And yes, as others have mentioned, I would not use duct tape/gorilla tape on cloth upholstery as it may transfer dark gray or brown glue residue to the fabric. Blue Painters tape works pretty good on stubborn imbedded hair in short pile carpet. Sorry for any confusion......carry on now, back to hair removal...... - Darryl Edited February 22, 2013 by Odds and Ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
