Animal hair in the seats

AH!



I just spent 2.5 hours getting all the hair out of my Ford Focus. Yep, 2.5 hours for a little car, that's what a Lab and an Aussie Shepherd will get you! My poor shop vac.



Anyway, I found that using a lint brush/my hand to ball up the bulk of it was the best start. However the lab hair that gets woven into the seats is a different matter. I finally found that rapidly rubbing the crevice tool tip over the material while vaccuming was the only way to get them out short of tweezers. The "scrubbing" action coupled with the vac works the hair out and then sucks it up. Takes a while (obviously), but I actually got my interior hairless...just in time to have to run the lab to the vet.



Hope that helps someone out.
 
I use one of those rolling lintbrushes that have the tape on them. When it gets full just peel back a fresh sheet. It works perfect and its 1.99 at Walmart

This works. I had the embedded pet hair in the headliner and this was the only thing that took it out. It sounds like the thing at topoftheline if you would rather go there but JB is a GREAT place for all things pet related..

Using a slightly damp terry cloth, I wipe down the cloth starting at the top of the seatback moving downward and for the seat cushion from inside towards the door, then vaccuum the accumulated pet hair. I do the same thing for headliners. Duct tape removes the rest of the stubborn stuck in hairs.



I have two dogs ( lab/spaniel mixes) and my vehicles get vacuumed after every "Boy's wanna go for a ride?" road trip.



The other alternative is to shave the dog LOL ;)

That's what I do, and it works great!



Unfortunately, if there is a lot of hair, you can go through quite a bit of tape rather quickly. :doh
 
I recentley learned to spray the seats ect. with Fabric softener like Downey then take a brush to it then vac. works great the downey takes the static out so the hair doesn't stick to uph.
