Pet hair is often a problem for car owners, especially those with dogs or cats. Hair can accumulate quickly on seats, floor mats and door panels, and it can be difficult to completely remove them. Fortunately, there are several tricks and tips for effectively removing pet hair from your car.

Tips for removing pet hair from your car

1. Vacuum

The easiest way to remove pet hair from your car is to vacuum it. Use a household vacuum cleaner with fine attachments to get into the nooks and crannies of your vehicle. However, the most effective solution is to go to a washing center equipped with more powerful vacuum cleaners , designed to remove pet hair. It is important to note that the vacuum may be less effective for hair embedded in carpets and other fabric surfaces. It is therefore recommended to combine this method with other cleaning methods to ensure that all hairs are removed.

2. Brush the seats

Using a brush (whether velor, with an adhesive roller or electrostatic) to remove your dog's hair can be effective, especially for large, flat surfaces. However, it is important to note that this method can be time consuming and does not guarantee complete hair removal. It is therefore recommended to combine this method with other cleaning methods to ensure that all hairs are removed.

3. Use gloves

You can also use rubber gloves to remove dog hair from your seats, but this method can be tedious and does not guarantee complete hair removal. Operate by circular rubbing: hairballs will form quickly. All you have to do is collect them and then throw them away. Note that there are also gloves designed for brushing dogs and picking up hair on the way: you can also use them on your seats!

4. Run a damp cloth over the seats

In a container, combine water and a few drops of fabric softener. Moisten a microfiber cloth with this mixture. Rub the seats, the hairs will clump together, and your fabrics will benefit from a clean shot. Small warning however: start by applying your mixture on a small surface, not visible, just to check that it does not damage your seats!

5. Use protective covers

The best is probably to invest a few euros in protective covers . You can also install an old sheet where the dog settles: guaranteed effectiveness!

6. Sticker roller for clothes

Simply run the roller over carpets, seats, etc. sticky paper will do the job. However, it is important to note that this method is not environmentally friendly and it can take a long time to remove all the hair.
