Pets have a tendency to shed hair that can be a pain to remove. Fortunately, there are a variety of household items you can use to get your carpets looking and smelling great. However, it's a good idea to make a regular cleaning appointment with your carpet cleaner to prevent unwanted hair from building up in your home.
Lint rollers can be a helpful tool in removing pet hair. These small tools can be used on the front of your vacuum to collect dog and cat hair from your carpet. If you have a dry mop, you can also use it to remove pet hair from hardwood floors.
Another option is to use a pumice stone to scrub away hair. This is an abrasive surface, so you should test it out on a smaller area first. Using a diluted fabric softener solution will also loosen up your pet's fur. Alternatively, you can simply sprinkle a little baking soda on your carpet to deodorize and loosen up pet hair.
You can also spray your pet's coat with a mixture of water and fabric softener. The mixture should be applied to the carpet with a light mist. Spraying the area with the right amount of liquid will not only loosen the pet's hair, it should also bond with it so it's easier to pull out.
A squeegee is another way to remove pet hair from your carpet. Squeegees are not the cheapest items, but they do a decent job of getting rid of the hair in your carpet. It's a good idea to buy one that is extra wide to better grab the pet hair. Once you have pulled up some of the hair, you can either vacuum the carpet or wipe up the residue.
Aside from a squeegee, you can also use a sponge mop. A sponge mop is a good option if you're dealing with a particularly large or difficult spot. In addition, you may want to use a microfiber mop if you have hardwood floors. For a fast and effective solution, you can also use a dryer sheet. Not only will the dog hair come out of the dryer, but it'll pick up dust and other debris from the carpet.
Finally, you can use a vacuum to do the job. However, this method can be time consuming, as you may have to repeat the process several times. While a vacuum cleaner is an effective way to sweep up pet hair, it can also cause clumping of hair and lead to mold, mildew, and other unpleasant odors. Keeping your vacuum in good shape will help you avoid this problem.
Although these may not be the most convenient methods to remove pet hair from your carpet, they are the quickest and most efficient. With a bit of practice, you'll be able to enjoy the fresh scent of your rug again. Plus, the mess that's left behind can easily be cleaned up with a vacuum.
