How do I remove dog hair from car upholstery?

RE: How do I remove dog hair from car upholstery? Post by Babydog1975 (1) | (05/27/2008) Contact OMG! The rubber glove method really works! When I first read about it, I was sure it was a load of dog crap, but I tried it and it absolutely DOES WORK! A previous roommate had a very large Great Dane - Dane's have very stiff, short hair. He would stand up in my car and stick his head out the roof, rubbing his back on the ceiling. My entire headliner is permeated with hair. I tried a few other things including damp towels and duct tape. The tape was slightly effective, but there was SO MUCH hair that is was taking forever. Then I tried the rubber glove trick and it's just falling out effortlessly. WOW. thanks to whoever discovered this and thanks to those of you who posted.

I finally settled on something that wasn't recommended that worked the best - a wire brush. Not only did it brush the hair out, but it got out a lot of unseen dirt and debris. I could actually smell the nastiness that it brought up out of the upholstery. Try it yourself. Use a rubber glove first, and when you think you're done, use the wire brush on areas you thought were clean and you'll be in for a big surprise.

Post By Kim (Guest Post) (12/01/2007) Hi--I agree wit the rubber glove method except I use the Garden Gloves with the rubber palm. They seem to be much tougher and last longer then the kitchen type. Also I use a damp (not wet) sponge mop on my carpet with works the same way and rolls the hair the the vacuum misses up in a tube--just pick up and discard.

We just got the cutest Chevy Tracker... a total summer car. Apparently the previous owner was an extreme dog lover. I have never seen so much hair before, on a dog but thats about it. Anyhow I used the medical rubber gloves in a wax on- wax off motion... had an industrial vacumm in hand- and managed to lift the hair with the gloves and suck it up with a vacumm.

Spray a fine mist on a damp towel (better than a smooth cloth) and wipe the seat, sofa, or whatever. Works for dust too. Mimics those new, expensive products that claim to "attract and hold" dust.

Then vacuum up the gathered piles of hair. I have two cats and use this method on chairs in the house when the vacuum wont pick it up .

I usually take a bunch up damp rags and run them over the seats at different directions. I usually have to this to the edges of my couch once a week since the dog likes to use it as a back scratcher. I've used the tape trick but after one swipe - it was useless. I felt wasteful - so now I keep a box of reuseable rags. Report Spam or Abuse RE: How do I remove dog hair from car upholstery? Post By Barbara Calfee (Guest Post) (06/26/2005) Sounds stupid but works every time... Take a Velcro (trademark) curler meant for curling hair and run it over ANY surface. Hair is collected on the curler faster than you can imagine. If you use a curler with a metal inner form, you can bend one at an angle to do corners, etc. I've used them for years and have carried a supply to give to friends, etc. Probably have given out 25.

After the solution dries, then try vaccumming again. You may need to break the static cling. cj in dallas Report Spam or Abuse RE: How do I remove dog hair from car upholstery? Post by Luvyabye (398) | (06/25/2005) Profile | Contact I have 2 suggestions...one of which, I admit, I have not tried and that is to use rubber gloves to "rub" over the area and it's supposed to help remove animal hair. The other one I have tried and that's to use tape....I think I'd use the widest tape for such a large area, like packing tape. I'm sure others on this site can help....I LOVE this site!!!

The guy said to use a household kitchen rubber glove. Just put on the glove and lightly brush over the uphostery. The hair is supposed brush right off. Good luck!! Report Spam or Abuse
