How to Remove Cat or Dog Hair?

Your beloved four-legged friend leaves hair all over the house? If your sofa, rug or clothes are covered with traces of its passage, here are some simple tips to eliminate them easily.

Smart Vacuum Cleaner

It sounds obvious but it's still the best way to remove the hair that decorates your sofa or carpet. Do not hesitate to regularly use a smart vacuum cleaner, and use a nozzle with a brush to clean more easily tissues (chair, curtains, cushions ...).

Use dish gloves

Here's a tip you can not do without. Put on a pair of dishwashing gloves and simply put your hands on the cushions of your sofa or armchairs, the hair will stick on it. Tip: Proceed in circular motions, you will only have to recover the balls of hair thus formed. A method that also works very well in the basket or on the cat's cover.

Sponge a wet sponge or washcloth

To effortlessly remove the hair that covers your armchairs, your carpet or the top of your duvet, moisten a sponge (clean of course) and go round the fabric. The hairs will clump together, you just have to pick them up and throw them away. You can also use a washcloth, just as convenient.

Use an adhesive roll

Take a roll of self-adhesive paper and put it on your clothes to remove hairs and fluff that stick to it. For best results, remove the top layer of the roll as soon as the paper does not stick enough. In the same way, you can also use tape (like the one used to close cartons), by cutting strips of tape or by wrapping a little around your hand (adhesive side out) and by passing it on your tissues.

Use a velvet brush

Perfect for removing hairs from fabrics, the velvet brush works equally well on clothes and upholstery. Take care, however, to always move in the same direction and avoid the movements back and forth at the risk of seeing hairs redeposit in the same place.

Use an electrostatic brush

It works on the same principle as your old tights. It is a cylindrical plastic brush that attracts hair like a magnet. Just pass it on the fabric to clean (sofa, carpet, clothes ...). Another tip: use an inflated balloon and put it on your clothes. The effect is exactly the same, the hairs will stick to the surface of the balloon.

Test the softening wipe

New or used, softening wipes are great for picking up cat or dog hair. The fabric softener that you throw in your dryer will find a second use here: use it to wipe the cushions of the fabric of your sofa or your clothes, the hair will stick on it.
