How to Get Rid of Pet Hair From Furniture

Both cats and your furniture are probably beautiful. However, chances are your furniture and cat fur do not match. Here are tips on how to remove dog and car hair from furniture.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Get a rough glove and wet it and put it on. Now shake off the moisture and run the glove/hand over the furniture repeatedly. Make sure to go in the creases of the furniture. Rinse the glove off frequently to get rid of the fur that has stuck to the glove.

2. Now repeat step one with a damp sponge. The rougher the sponge the better to get all of the hair. You can also do this with a wet fine toothed comb.

3. Now to get rid of the bit of fur remaining take off the glove and get a link roller and roll over the furniture. You can also just wrap masking tape around your hand with the sticky side out and rug it over the furniture. Replace when over half of the lint roller or masking tape is full with fur.

Tips & Warnings

• You can minimize the fur by vacuuming your pet. Use a small brush attachment and massage it all over your dog. Many dogs love it.
• The same tips can be used to get rid of pet hair from rugs, carpets, and even clothing. If your pet does not like vacuuming try to make a point of brushing him or her a couple times a day to get rid of loose fur. after brushing the pet take a fine toothed comb and comb him out. This will help catch the loose fur and reduce the animal's shedding.

on 4/2/2009 My cat runs and hides under the bed when I vacuum so that's out. Good tips for getting the hair of the couch though. It's a never ending task!
