Pet Hair Upholstery

[NobleCarpetCleaners]

Always trying to shave time off my upholstery pieces; removing pet hair rarely seems to be easy. I get by with my round brush nozzle and a small turbo nozzle (a fairly beefy one). I don't beat around the bush when I see the hair and point out to my crusty it's "additional" to vacuum the hair.

Anyone here use the Kirby Zipp tool?

Anyone here use the full size TurboCat? (I'm thinking that might be really move around piece holding it by hand and even hooked to a backpack Proteam)

Anyone here use the smaller TurboCat called Rugrat?

When we had our cleaning company we used one, though it isn't a good detail tool. We still needed to use the round brush attachment and crevice tool as well.

The soft brass brushes sold for grooming velvet and chenille fabric are also good for removing hair.

We carry a rubber curry brush made for pets. Works well on most fabrics.

We sometimes use Rug Rat with success. For isolated areas we find a circular motion with a damp towel will ball up the hair and make it easy to remove.

Rubber gloves can help too.

Rubber gloves can help too.

I agree, latex or nitrile gloves alone work great. if powdered wash gloves once you have them on. run your hand over pet hair area and it helps.

Pet shop has the curry type brush in a glove too. The rubber nobs are the key

This is one thing I know, live and breathe, with 14 dogs and 1 pissed off cat here.

Go to Harbor Freight and get one of the blocks they use to clean sanding belts. They are awesome at removing pet hair from upholstery.

This is why I try to go back and check every thread. Little nuggets like this are great!

Thanks Lisa.

You can sand one end of them into a point to get into the nooks and crannies too.

I buy these little yellow pad things from Target that fits on a sanding type block

the old style dri master upholestry tool was great at removing hair

Chem sponges work too. The kind you use for smoke damage restoration. But the sanding belt cleaners are much cheaper.

Take care,

I've always used a lint roller, but I'm going to try this.
