glendabenda Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I bought one of those sticky roles from the supermarket but it seems to take the hole role to remove the hair. Any other suggestions whould be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiie Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My mum has a power head on the vaccuum cleaner that works amazingly well on pet hair and carpet or car seats. Tried a cover over the couch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx'sBuddy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 get packing tape or and wide tape and roll it around your hand, sticky side out and use like the sticky roll. it is lots cheaper and works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Vacuum with the Dyson turbo head then the sticky roll. You'll find the roll with Katrina Warrens pic on it is better than the lesser known brands where you do need the whole roll for a small bit.

ellz Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 A slicker brush works well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoL Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Doesn't a wet rubber glove work as well? Never tried it, just heard it How about dying your dogs the same colour as the couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 One of those clothes brushes with the little soft fabric bristles. Clean one way remove lint the other way. There's a hand mitt made of the same stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 1. Sell current couch 2. Buy leather couch. If that's not possible, a good clothing brush or masking tape will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximum Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have three long haired cats (2 white, 1 ginger), plus a poodle/maltese cross that doesn't shed. I've got several hair removal strategies, depending upon the fabric you're trying to get the hair off. A damp sponge is good for furniture upholstry. A regular clothes brush is fine for cotton fabrics (e.g. the doona cover, sheets and pillows on the bed). And the best pet hair roller I've used is the Aussie roller, available from Petbarn and I'm sure other places. It's about the size of a small paint roller and it works REALLY well on all clothing. Much better than the regular sized rollers you buy from the supermarket and small petshops etc. It's a bit expensive to buy - about $30, from memory - but the refills aren't too bad. Animal hair is considered a condiment in my house - I'm surprised I'm not coughing up hairballs! *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried it, just heard it How about dying your dogs the same colour as the couch Thats a great idea(dying) She's not on the couch all the time, but she was losing her puppy hair and it just got on everything. She's not losing much at the moment. I have tried a sponge and that worked allright, will give the packing tape a go. I got a nice and cuddly rug from the op shop and she has been made to lay on that when on the couch and with the addition of some throw rugs or covers things should be ok.

black magic Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We could swap lounges, I have a black dog, cream lounge The lounge also comes with a free gift............ my OH who always seems to get pen and dirty feet marks on it. I'm for ever cleaning it. When we got it the man said, "I take it you don't have kids" My vacuum has one of those turbo pet hair attachments couldn't live without it. Scout doesn't get to go on our lounge, but the hair still finds its way there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole... Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have one of those velour sort of clothes brushes. I used it on the couch in desperation the other week and was amazed at how well it worked. Aside from that I'd go for the packing tape around your hand version that someone else recommended... cheap and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnesse Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Evercare Pet Hair Pic-Up. This was voted the best pet hair mitt by Choice Magazine and is fantastic, I swear by it. I own 2, one for in the car and 1 for in the house. Great for the furniture and your clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
