luffy4688 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 As above. I know the obvious answer would probably be to have tiled floors and no carpet. But I was wondering for those of you with carpets out there, how do you get rid of loose fur out of the carpet as the normal vacuums don't seem to be pretty effective.

Janba Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 A wertheim with a power head - more effective that my sisters dyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 We have an upright Dyson which is pretty effective at doing the job. If it's only a small patch you can use a cheap grooming glove or a stiff brush to rake it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolassesLass Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I just put the rug brush out on the head - sweep and vacuum at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenties Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 A wertheim with a power head - more effective that my sisters dyson Ditto, but can be any model vac as long as it has good suction to work the power head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 A wertheim with a power head - more effective that my sisters dyson I have a Wertheim but no power head.... is that a head with rollers? The last cleaner I had with a head like that, the hair just got all twisted up around the rollers Anyway for carpets, you can buy a special broom which does a marvellous job of picking up all the hair before you vacuum. There was a thread about it .... and everyone went out and got themselves one ...... all of a sudden they were in short supply I can't recall what they are called though.

ILK Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Agreed - a good powerhead is the only way to go. I have cream plush carpet with a chocolate kelpie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggy mum Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hopefully some1 will come along telling us what it is. I think this thread was all about the broom. Yes that's it. I've got one and it works great ie when I remember to use it Another costless option if you are feeling energetic that works for me is put on some rubber soles shoes or slippers, I use ugg slippers/boots and slide your foot along the carpet. You'd be surprised how much comes together in a ball of hair. Also, I recently bought a bottom of the range Bissell carpet cleaner on eBay for just over $200. I was sooo amazed at how much cat hair it picked up and how clean it got the carpet. Works a treat. My cleaning lady couldn't believe how well it worked and is getting one for herself.

moosepup Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Yep, rubber brooms are excellent, you can get them at Bunnings I think. Makes me sick when I use it though because then I can see how much hair is actually in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mas1981 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) I use my electrostatic broom to get the hair to one spot and then I use the electrostatic pan and small brush to sweep the hair into into the pan. I have seen the Bissell carpet and floor cleaners and I am quite keen to get one and give it a go! Edited April 4, 2010 by Masons_mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luffy4688 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) Anyone used this before? http://www.godfreys.com.au/vacuum_cleaner_...=193&page=3 The Bissell Pet hair Eraser is what I'm leaning towards at the moment as Dyson and Wertheim seems out of budget at the moment. http://www.harveynorman.com.au/product/125...pet-hair-eraser Edited April 4, 2010 by luffy4688 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
