Does anyone have any tips for taking dog/cat hair out of carpets and rugs?

Discovered by accident today that those mitts you get for brushing dogs with (plastic peaks on one side and leather on the other), are brilliant at doing this. Does anyone have any other tips?

Hi Silver Lady :) I found this thing at Target about a year ago called "one sweep." I know there was an infomercial for it too. It really is magic! I think it was only ten dollars, and it works SO much better than vacuuming. I wouldn't waste your time or energy using tape or something silly like that on an entire floor. Check it out :) Good luck!

They have those roller sticky things for lint on your shirt which I have found helpful

They now have a huge roller like the ones that have adhesive tape on them that you use on your clothes, but you use it on the carpet. I think Home Depot sells them.

About two feet wide.

A bag vacuum is better than bagless. You need at least 12 Amps. Sharp makes the best one but hard to find as it isn't sold at most stores.

I have a steam cleaning machine which has an attachment for carpets its brilliant as it collects them altogether. You can never lift them all with a vacuum cleaner

Use a quality vacuum like an Oreck or a Dyson.

trainers work well, ie wearing one scrap your foot along the carpet - get in one pile then hoover up

PS I do my sofa with one of those mitts or a dustpan and brush - much better than a hoover

Wash, dry w/ some sort of anti-static dryer sheet, vacuum again, then use an adhesive lint roller. I know Walmart sells them......

If your hoover doesn't do this job, you don't have a good enough hoover!

(try a Dyson)

I think the best invention ever was a pair of gloves that you use for the dishes,(Marigolds) put them on, dampen them with water, and just move your hands back and forward over where you want to lift the fluff , hairs etc:

I keep a pair especially beside my ironing board because if you are like me, you are just ready to iron your favourite dark top, or trousers, skirt etc: when you see it is covered in dog hairs, so before you iron, dampen the gloves and run your hand over the item and hey presto no hairs.

Tried and tested many a time.

So if you are feeling energetic, get on your hands and knees and have a good workout at the same time, lots of luck. LOL

have you tried putting on a rubber glove and just rubbing it over the carpet/mat? this is great for it too! I think the static has something to do with it, cos the hairs just stick to the rubber glove

I'm with Lisa T....the day I got my long-haired second dog, I also bought a Dyson hoover. It is keeping my carpets in good shape but I have to hoover every day.

Hi, this really is the best. I get a cloth, an old towel torn up, or something thick works best, dip it into some hot water and then wring out. I then wipe it on my stair carpet. It comes up like new, and really gets right down into the pile. If you add some essential oil, it also gives a lovely smell and helps to deter insects from setting up camp in your home. You also get a workout thrown in.

Meile do a vacuum cleaner called Cat %26amp; Dog. It's expensive and the filter needs replacing quite alot but it gets up every hair - even the ones that seemed to be permanently stuck to the parcel shelf in my car!
