The hairs from your beloved family pet can be very frustrating when they are scattered all over your carpet, but fortunately there are certain methods that will keep them at bay. Here’s our top 10 tips on removing pet hair from carpet.

Give your carpet a vacuum and then lightly dampen a clean, regular kitchen sponge. Rub the carpet with the sponge to pick up any hairs left over after vacuuming. The fur will roll up into clumps that you can pick up with your hands.

Rub Velcro rollers on the surface of your carpet to pick up excess hairs. Use sellotape to catch the pet hairs. Wrap some around your fingers (with the sticky, adhesive part on the outside) and tap your carpet where the hairs are to pick them up.

 Put on a latex glove and rub the surface of your carpet. The excess fur on the carpet will stick to the glove, allowing you to remove it from the floor. Inflate a balloon and rub it across your carpet. The static on the surface of the balloon will attract the hair. O

nce you’ve emptied the balloon and pulled off all the hairs, you can re-use it to pick up more. Use a sweeping brush on particularly stubborn hairs. The bristles are effective with static electricity and the hair will stick straight to the brush.

Try mixing some fabric softener with water and mist it on to your carpet with a spray bottle. Don’t dampen the carpet too much -€“ a fine mist is all you need. Allow this to dry and then go over your carpet with your vacuum cleaner.

Use a squeegee that is long enough to push along the floor. The rubber will pull up the pet hair and make it easier to vacuum away.

Consider purchasing a new vacuum cleaner. The Dyson Animal is designed specifically to remove pet hair from carpets and has received some excellent reviews about its capabilities.

Use a pumice stone on your carpet to drag up any unwanted hairs. Groom your pets regularly to prevent their excess hair from falling out onto your carpet.

Each of these methods will make a big difference when it comes to removing unwanted hairs from your carpet, meaning that you can allow your pets to roam around your house without being as cautious about their fur.
