Love Your Pet But Don't Love The Hair They Shed All Over Your House?

by BrightNest

If you love your pet but are less enthusiastic about the hair they shed all over your house, we have a solution! You don’t have to banish your pet from furniture or the living room – instead, try rubber gloves! This trick works better than lint rollers or tape, plus you can use the same gloves every time. Say goodbye to annoying pet hair!

HOW TO:

Moisten the glove. You want your gloved hand to be moist but not wet. To make sure your glove isn’t too wet, we recommend spritzing it with water instead of running it under a faucet.

Test your furniture. To make sure the water won’t ruin your furniture’s material, test the trick on a small area of the furniture (preferably on the back or bottom).

Grab the hair. If your test was successful, then it’s time to ditch the hair! Run your gloved hand over the surface of your furniture. The glove will give you much more control than a strip of tape and is far more effective than a balloon or tennis ball. Just make sure you rinse the glove periodically to avoid spreading the collected hair around.

Do you mean like a latex or vinyl glove, or like the big yellow rubber dishwashing gloves?

  @OnBlissStreet Yellow, rubber household gloves or latex surgical gloves work well! :)
