Spring is already there. I start my spring cleaning and noticed that as usual, my pets are loosing more hair on spring. I start my search over the Internet to find the best ideas for hair removal. Do you know any ways to remove cat and dog hair from furniture’s?

last year we trimmed my cat's hair. it didn't hurt her, we used professional pet heir trimmer and we were very cautious using it. It worked, but she looked a bit odd because we didn't do it right, one side has more hairs than the other hehehe poor baby

When my cats were alive I used to have this problem all year round .. firstly I always groomed my cats twice a day to remove as many loose hairs as possible before they fell out .. but theres nothing as good as a pair of rubber gloves for removing pet hairs from soft furnishings .. put the gloves on and rub briskly but firmly over wherever the trail of pet hairs are ..

I find the best and easiest way to remove the fur is with a lint brush, the kind you buy for your clothes.

i really dont know what to tell you, go check your local pet store, i am sure they can give you some answer, unless you want to shave them all up, other wise vacuuming is one of the other options sorry i cant help you too much with that.

i usually just roll duct tape around my hand and pick it up with that.grabs all the fur. much easier than everyday vacuum.

Rubber bottomed trainers pull hair off quite well. My dad has a clothes brush with velour on one side and little rubber bobbles, like legs on the other that seems to work as well as a trainer but you have to press on hard. Sticky tape round your hand solves most problems with clothes. You can get a wierd roll thing from I think it may be betterware that is sticky and you roll it over the affected area but it's just lke stickytape and you have to buy replacement sticky parts. Grooming you pet outside daily seems to help.

I use a lint roller and small dust buster. I still have a hard time with the dog hair. We have 4 dogs indoors.

I found one brush that is working after months of searching. This discussion was posted months ago. Now I solved my problem with my furnitures and clothes. http://www.sweepa.com/home_1.html

The best thing I've found was a brush called brush-o natic, I think. The hair problem is one reason why we don't allow our dogs inside. Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

well my pet has short hair and we live in a very hot country so when he starts having this problem we just take him to the barber that takes most of his hair off he always returns so happy and cute and we too are happy for the next 3 months.. just go to the hair dresser..it solves alote.
