Cats and Dogs are lovely little or big fellas who are cute to have but can be a nightmare to clean after. I can only hope that for your sake you’ve got a leather sofa because we all know that pet hair clings to fabric better than peanut butter to jelly. However, leather furniture tends to be expensive and we are left hoping that our roll of tape is enough to cover every inch this time.

Unfortunately, you will get tired of this and will eventually throw in the towel. Here are a few tips for removing pet hair from furniture that will enable you to preserve energy and still look at your pet like the first day he arrived home.

Removing Pet Hair From Furniture

• Using a rubber glove, run your hand over the surface to attract hair. Simply rinse off the glove when it’s covered with hair and repeat the process as needed. In the event rubber gloves are not in hand, wetting a sponge will do the trick. These methods are excellent because you don’t use a lot of tape that can be useful elsewhere.
• If you have wooden furniture, to remove the pet hair simply use furniture polish with a soft cloth. This will get the hair right off and restore some shine while you’re at it.
• Lastly, using fabric softener is a hidden gem when removing pet hair from furniture. Spraying a mix of water and softener will allow you to quickly wipe off the pet hair.

Cleaning Pet Hair Off Floors

• Pumice stone and carpet are a match made in heaven. Rub it gently along the surface and any hair in the carpet will gather right up. The key here is using something that will not damage or dry up the carpet.
• Vacuuming is not the best option here because of the hot air it tends to blow out making it spread out instead of bundling it up in one spot. The best option here is a microfiber dry mop that will gather the hair and stick to the mop as you go.
• If you decide to go the vacuum route with carpeting making sure to go in different directions is key to getting those stubborn hairs out. If pet hair is a problem for you, but you do not have the time nor resources to address this, give us a call and we’ll happily take care of that for you. Here at Swipe N Clean, we dispose of the necessary solutions and equipment to remove even the toughest pet hair in your home.

Removing Pet Hair From Clothing

• Before leaving for that Friday night date or Monday meeting keep that lint roller right next to your door. For quick removal, there is nothing better than Oxo’s Furlifter for pet hair.
• When dealing with a lot of clothes with pet hair, throw this into a drying machine with a dry sheet for a couple of minutes. The movement of the machine will loosen the hair and get trapped in the sheet thus giving your clothes a clean new look.
• And then as always, if you find there is a better way or alternative solution please feel free to let us know what works for you!
