Removing Dog hairs from the upholstery and carpet.

Hi everyone

This works really well on the black I am attracted to dog hairs carpets they have fitted, as I have tried everything from wet cloths to package tape. You just get a pair of latex gloves, the type they use in hospital etc, and swipe your hand firmly over the upholstery, and the hair just rolls up like magic! Thumbs Up WAMMG

It does work well but the gloves are quicker and you can get into awkward spaces better also, and it helps as I get the gloves for free! WAMMG

One of my services is an anti-stain treatment (like Scotchgaurd). When this is applied hairs tend to sit on top of the pile rather than in it thus making vacuuming easier. I also use a Dyson when working. Tried all the fancy valeting tools & they are not that much assistance to be honest. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Or just breed one of those hairless Mexican dogs with your chosen dog and you'll soon have no problem, well once you sell the remaining litter of hairless sheepdogs Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I hate to admit it, but we have 4 (yes, you read that right) cats. So, I consider myself somewhat of an expert at collecting cat fur on anything and everything.

We've found that the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair works pretty well. Both the missus and I are in the medical field, so we'll have to give the exam gloves a try.

Here's a link to the sweepers:

The dogs are my other half's, and the oldest a Shih Tzu cast's like mad, but the kids love them, sometimes when he gets into the front of the FL2 and leaves a trail of hair all over the place the 12 gauge gets threatened to be brought into action Twisted Evil But common sense prevails! WAMMG

Your dog must be ill, as my shi tsu loses no hair whatsoever and not does my previous one ? they are known for not losing hair ? that why needs cutting every 8 weeks. You do get it cut ?

Hi there yeah we have read this as well but our dog seems to be the exception, the Lhasa Apso we know doesn't shed either. The other half Bow down has her own Dog grooming business, so the dog would be washed and blasted regularly Sheep oh and hes fit and healthy! WAMMG

I would'nt have believed it!!
We have two border collies and i tried the latex glove trick.
My word, it really works!! The hoover is almost redundant.
A really good tip, many thanks Thumbs Up

Oh, by the way, i got several odd responses from 'er who must be obeyed' when i asked her to get some latex gloves!!! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Hi there

Yeah when I tried it, it was great that I wasn't spending so much time cleaning the car!
The gloves can be bought cheaply at any good DIY store.
