Kirislin Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 How do you get dog hair out of car carpets and upholstery? I've got a dyson and it's making lots of noise but not showing much in the way of results. I'm trying to give my car a really really good clean and all I'm getting is a sore back and hot 'n sweaty. I'm going to try rubbing a damp cloth over it to see if that works, but if anyone's got any brilliant ideas, please tell me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimax Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Might need a steam clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TikaAkita Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I use a damp cloth for the car, I have leather seats so fortunately I just have to worry about the floors as it vaccums right off the seats! Also those sticky lint removers help, but obviously dont get anything beyond whats sitting on the surface. Dog hair and cleaning: A lifelong battle!

Gretel Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I know, I'll just sell the damn thing!! Yes I think that is the answer! I've never been able to get mine all clean either Shall be checking all the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 ... I have leather seats so fortunately I just have to worry ... My previous car had leather seats. My current vehicle has cloth. I want my leather seats back . MUCH MUCH easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vehs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 hehehe I am keeping an eye out on the coupon websites for a discounted car detail I'm sure they will refuse after the see it! I gave my old wagon to a friend who had a farm and was going to mod it out in all manner of illegal ways for roo shooting - years later he told me how he bundled his 3 kids in the back and they were still complaining about dog hair! hahahaha I can't sell my car given how much hair is in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I have leather seats, can't live without them and Labrador hair!! Saying that though, try a Decor electrostatic broom (or brush, for cars or small areas). They are magic with dog hair in fabrics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Our car has leather seats, but on the carpets I use a rubber, electrostatic hand broom from Bunnings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you have a Dyson they have a car tool which is a mini turbo head, magic for pet hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The Samoyed hair is easy, that just wipes right off with a damp cloth or lint brush. Labrador hair on the other hand is the bane of my existence. It sticks to everything and so far nothing has managed to remove it all. I've given up at this stage :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgieB Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think there was a thread on here some time ago. Everyone was in a frenzy buying those electrostatic brooms from Bunnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karly101 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I only managed to get about 70% out with a lot of vigorous vacuuming with the dyson and mini turbine head. In some parts I gave up and just plucked it out as it was so woven into the fabric! I think one of those sticky rollers may have worked better in some parts. But that got it to a decent enough level to sell without dog hair everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 the turbine head cant get into the little spaces. I haven't found it very good at all even on flatter areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRADA68 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was told years ago that wet rubber gloves and rub over the carpet. It is supposed to work apparently told to a friend from a car detailer. Don't know if it works as the last car I sold went to the wreckers and I didn't have the problem. Good luck.
