Whether you occasionally or frequently travel with your pet, pet hair can be a great problem for your car carpet. After removing the pet from the carpet, you can start wondering how you can get rid of the hair leftovers.
Five easy techniques to remove dog hair from your car carpet.
Hand Vacuum
Invest in a good handheld vacuum that will give you an easy routine for removing the hair any time you remove your dog from the car. Run the vacuum cleaner through the car carpet to collect the dog’s hair. You can also run it through the car seats to get the best cleaning results, especially if you carried the pet in the back car seats. It may have been playing around and left its hair on the seats.
You can also use a sponge to remove the pet hair if you do not have a vacuum cleaner. This process may be hectic and tiresome because manual removal of hair will take a lot of time.
Balloons
You can use the balloons to collect the hair because it has static electricity that will attract the pet’s hair. This is an excellent method because it will attract up to the finest hairpieces that have fallen on your car carpet. All you need to do is rub the balloon on your car surface and hair will start sticking on the balloon. Repeat this procedure several times until all hair is removed from the carpet. However, this method might be limited to remove long strands of hair you can use the vacuum cleaner.
Use a Fabric Softener
A fabric softener is a good cleaner because it has an ingredient that loosens the hair and makes it easier for you to remove the pet’s hair. What you need to do is add 3 teaspoons of the fabric softener in water and mix them in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the carpet and wipe the surface with a paper towel to remove stubborn stains. Brush through the surface until you see all hair is removed, and collect them with a vacuum cleaner.
Use a Duct Tape
This is a reliable method that repairs a lot of things and it can be used to remove pet hair from your car carpet. All you need to do is to roll the duct tape on your hand with the sticky part facing out and press the surface. When you lift up your hand, you will see pet hair attracted to the sticky part. Repeat the procedure several times and ensure you change the duct tape for effective cleaning.
Use a Squeegee
This is an effective method of removing pet hair just like the rubber gloves and it is cost-effective. A squeegee is a rubber-like blade that you can use to eliminate hair from the car carpet as you run it through the surface. It collects the hair in a pile which becomes easier for you to clean it after use.
