We love our dogs—they’re part of the family! But pet hair on furniture? Not so much. Whether it’s your couch, chair, or car seats, dog hair has a way of sticking around. At SuperShine Carpet Cleaning, we know the struggle, so we’ve rounded up some simple, effective tips to keep your upholstery fur-free.
1. Use Your Vacuum Properly
A vacuum with an upholstery attachment is your best friend. Go slow, vacuum in different directions, and empty the bin often for maximum suction.
2. Try Rubber Gloves
Put on a pair of damp rubber gloves and run your hands over the fabric. The static electricity helps lift hair, making it easy to collect and toss.
3. Lint Rollers or Tape
For quick cleanups, a lint roller is perfect. No roller? Wrap packing tape around your hand, sticky side out, and dab away the fur.
4. Loosen Hair with Fabric Softener
Mix a little fabric softener with water in a spray bottle, lightly mist the upholstery, and vacuum. This breaks the static bond and makes hair easier to remove.
5. Brush It Out
Use a pet grooming brush or upholstery brush to reach deep into crevices and corners where hair collects.
