If you’re a pet parent—especially a dog owner—you know that pet hair has a sneaky way of getting everywhere. From your couch to your favorite sweater to that hard-to-reach corner of the carpet, pet hair seems to have a life of its own. But don’t worry, there are simple and effective ways to tackle this hairy situation.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to remove pet hair from furniture, carpets, and other surfaces in your home. Plus, we’ll introduce you to The Bare Brush, an eco-friendly pet hair cleaner designed to make your life easier.
Why Does Pet Hair Stick Everywhere?
Before we dive into solutions, let’s quickly understand the problem. Pet hair is lightweight and often comes with natural oils that make it cling to surfaces. Static electricity and fabric textures like upholstery or carpets can make removing it even harder.
But here’s the good news: with the right tools and techniques, you can keep your home fur-free (or at least fur-controlled).
How to Remove Pet Hair from Furniture
Whether it’s your couch, chairs, or bed, furniture is a magnet for pet hair. Here’s how to keep it clean:
1. Use The Bare Brush
The Bare Brush is your go-to tool for removing pet hair from furniture. Its eco-friendly design makes it safe for upholstery, and its hypoallergenic material ensures it’s gentle yet effective. Simply sweep The Bare Brush lightly across the surface, and watch the hair lift away effortlessly.
2. Damp Microfiber Cloth
For stubborn hair, a slightly damp microfiber cloth can work wonders. The moisture helps grab onto the hair, making it easier to remove.
3. Vacuum with Upholstery Attachment
A vacuum cleaner with a dedicated upholstery attachment can be a lifesaver for deep cleaning. Use it regularly to prevent hair buildup.
Pro Tip: To maintain a cleaner home, brush your dog regularly to minimize shedding. If you’re looking for high-quality food to support your dog’s coat health, check out our Candidly Fresh Chicken Kibble, which contains probiotics to promote skin and coat health.
Best Way to Clean Pet Hair from Carpets
Carpets can be one of the trickiest surfaces to clean, but with the right approach, you can keep them looking fresh.
1. Start with The Bare Brush
The Bare Brush isn’t just for furniture—it works wonders on carpets too! Its unique material sweeps up embedded pet hair with ease. Simply glide it across the carpet in short strokes to lift hair from the fibers.
2. Rubber Gloves Trick
Put on a pair of rubber gloves and run your hands over the carpet. The friction helps gather the hair into clumps, making it easier to pick up.
3. Vacuum Regularly
Invest in a vacuum cleaner with strong suction and a pet hair attachment. Vacuum in multiple directions to ensure you’re lifting hair from all angles.
Pro Tip: If your dog’s shedding seems excessive, consider switching to a wet food like our Seriously Beefy Wet Food. A healthy diet can reduce shedding by improving coat quality.
How to Remove Pet Hair from Clothing
Nothing’s worse than stepping out in your favorite outfit only to realize it’s covered in pet hair. Here’s how to fix that:
1. Keep The Bare Brush Handy
The Bare Brush is compact and versatile, making it perfect for quick touch-ups on clothing. Whether you’re heading to work or meeting friends, a few swipes of The Bare Brush will have you looking fur-free in seconds.
2. Dryer Sheets
Run a dryer sheet over your clothes to pick up hair and reduce static cling.
3. Lint Roller
A lint roller is a classic solution for clothing. Keep one in your car or bag for emergencies.
How to Remove Pet Hair from Hard Surfaces
While pet hair is more likely to stick to soft surfaces, you’ll occasionally find it on hard floors, countertops, and even walls. Here’s how to tackle it:
1. Use a Microfiber Mop
A microfiber mop or cloth is excellent for picking up hair on hard floors without scattering it.
2. Electrostatic Duster
Electrostatic dusters are great for grabbing hair from corners, baseboards, and other hard surfaces.
3. Vacuum with Hard Floor Setting
Switch your vacuum to the hard floor setting to suck up pet hair without scratching surfaces.
