Pet hair on furniture and carpets is a persistent challenge, but the right tools and technique make a real difference.

Rubber gloves or a squeegee

Running a damp rubber glove or squeegee across upholstery gathers hair into clumps that are easy to collect.

Vacuum with the right attachment

A dedicated pet-hair attachment or brush roll lifts embedded hair from carpets far more effectively than a standard vacuum head.

Regular brushing helps

Regularly brushing your pet reduces the amount of loose hair shed around the home in the first place.
