Effective Pet Hair Removal

There are many simple ways to remove pet hair from clothing, carpeting, and upholstery. One of the simpler ways to clean dog hair off upholstery is to lightly dampen the palm of your hand. You then wipe the dog hair off in a downward motion. The dog hair will ball up and stick to your damp hand. This method works because the hair becomes wet making it heavier. This method will result in the dog hair not being able to fly back into the upholstery in response to static electricity.

A similar method would require the use of a clean, regular kitchen sponge. You simply rub the upholstery and the dog hair should roll up into clumps that you can then pick off by hand. You can also use a latex glove which you put on and rub the surface with. The dog hair should stick to your glove. You can even inflate a balloon and rub it across the surface that has dog hair on it. The static on the balloon’s surface will attract the dog hair which you can then collect by hand and dispose.
