I use rubber gloves for cleaning.....found that a damp one would gather dog fur on fabric into 'ropes' that are easily just picked off and tossed in trash. Just swipe your hand over couch like you're petting the pet.
I have 4 dogs (3 pitbulls and a little mutt that is a mix of Dachshund, Beagle, Chihuahua, and Jack Russel). The little girl sheds more in a day than the other 3 in a week! Shedding is the reason I have tried training ALL of them to stay off the furniture (although the little one gets on it when I am not there -- guess how I know THAT? LOL) For a quick fix I use rolls of packagain tape (it is wide and can pick up more in one pass than conventional tape). I unroll the tape just enough to bring it around the roll and back onto itself and then roll it over the couch until it won't pick up any more, then cut it off and reroll the tape around itself and then over the couch again. This works quickly and easily. Some vacuums (although not mine) have a special attachment that is meant to pick up hair off the furniture. You may want to check into that. OR you can take a SLIGHTLY damp rag and lightly and quickly brush it over the area with the hair in order to "brush" it off, but then most of the time the hair clings to the damp fabric and you have to go outside and shake it off and hope when you go back for the next swipe across you don't end up transferring hair back onto the couch from the damp cloth .. sighhh ...
So that's about al lI can say, Michal, and I wish you good luck .... packaging tape for a quick job of it UNLESS you want to buy a sweeper with a pet hair attachment to it ;) .... Thnaks for coming to Hometalk for an answer.
I dampen an old sock and put my hand in it and then wipe the furniture. The hair comes right off. I've even done this to my carpet because I have an area they my dogs like to lay.
I sweep it real well first. Then get large masking tape wrap around fingers and blot

A damp old sock will pick up hair. But you know, no house is a home without some dog hair!
Damp rag works great. Squeegee works too.
