An Ask-A-Pro reader writes in wanting to know the best way to get rid of the never-ending, ever-clinging pesky pet hair:<\/p>\n
What is the best route to take in order to tackle pet hair during an
\ninterior detail? I have tried vacuuming and using a sticky lint brush, but
\nin some instances that only seems to put a mere dent in some of the more
\nground in pet hair, leaving me scratching my head at how to remove the
\nremainder. Any tricks from the pro’s would be appreciated. Thanks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHey there,<\/p>\n
Pet hair has ALWAYS been an enemy of mine in terms of cleaning it all up.\u00a0 It\u2019s like the plague, it\u2019ll be gone for a day or two (if you\u2019re lucky), and by day 3, it looks like you didn\u2019t even spend all afternoon cleaning it all up!<\/p>\n
To tackle the problem, it really depends on the nap of the carpet.\u00a0 If it\u2019s supple BMW, Lexus, etc. floor mats, you can generally get away with a lot of elbow grease, without any attachment (or I find the \u201ccrevice\u201d attachment works well, too).\u00a0\u00a0 I stay away from the \u201cbrush\u201d attachments as they seem to just get pet hair stuck in the bristles and spread it all around more-so than pick any up.\u00a0 You may also look in to a stiff bristle wire-type brush to get the hair out of the carpet.<\/p>\n
Now, if we\u2019re talking about very, very short nap, rough, carpet (like found in trunks), the only thing I have found to work is a rubber brush with rubber bristles.\u00a0 It will still take hours to get it all up, but the rubber is sticky when using it along the carpet and it will help \u201cpull\u201d it in to a sort-of pile that makes it easier to vacuum it up.<\/p>\n
If all else fails, they actually make huge lint rollers that can be found at large box stores that are designed to remove lint from upholstery.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t tried it on carpets and floor mats, but it works great on the couch and bedding!<\/p>\n
I hope this helps answer your question, to some extent.<\/p>\n
If you have any other questions, comments, please don\u2019t hesitate to ask below!<\/p>\n
Thanks!
