    Try a lint roller for the clothes, and an item to invest in if you have a dog is a rubber broom. Run that across the carpet and vacuum. Good Luck!

    Put dog outside permanently! Vacuum home thoroughly every day, wash clothes until all hair is out of the clothes!

    Lint rollers come made for pet hair removal. Some are on long broom handles, some extra wide and all with extra strength sticky rollers for those stubborn hairs. Better than a vacuum for bedding and the broom-handled one great for in between vacuums.

    I bought a shark vacuum when my vacuum died and love it for getting up the dog hair. We have four dogs, three white and one red with white undercoat. We could probably knit a sweater with the fur we vacuum up daily. Pet vacuums come with attachments to deal with removing fur from floors, be it carpet, tile, wood, linoleum, whatever. We use a pet hair adhesive type roller and one of those velvet type ones, they both work really well. If you have dogs, you will always have hair floating everywhere and on clothes. We have a huge dog door for our "kids" and you still get hair by the bushel. It is down right mean to put the "kids" out and never let them in. Would you put your own kids outside for good if they were messy in the house? I would try to make sure some of the hair is removed from clothes before washing if that is possible. When I know I am having company I vacuum the furniture and cover with old sheets just in case the dogs get up on the furniture in the meantime. When they come, we let the dogs meet the company, then the doors are closed to the dining room and back library room, so they are out of the way and still have access to the dog door in the back room. We remove the sheets when the company is in the driveway.

      Our vacuum has the same type brush and it does wonders on furniture! We have the sling covers for our car for when we have the shepherd and shepherd cross in the car. Our ankle biter sits in your lap and our white chow rests on the center console only, so we usually don't get much hair in the car. One thing I have noticed with clothes, is the more they are washed and dried with Bounce dryer sheets, the less the hair collects on most clothes.

  • I have rubber brushes that I purchased just for this purpose and they are excellent! Plus I have a good vacuum cleaner and vacuum every single day, but I have a lot of pets. And the sticky paper lint rollers, I buy the better brand as for me I think they work better. I have at home, in the car and at work.

    You can buy a rubber glove with nubbies to groom the pets.

    I have heard of people using regular rubber dishwasing/cleaning gloves or squeegees to remove hair off of furniture, and clothes.

    Wearing rubber gloves and rubbing the sofa cushion, for example, works beautifully.
