Getting pet hairs off furniture carpet etc,

It was cats in our case. When it was just family, I kept a throw on the sofa to collect the loose fur, all of which seemed to be white. I removed the throw when we had visitors.

I use the rubber brush that is designed for brushing the cats, or a plastic scouring pad that I dampen well.

Unfortunately, this entails working on ones hands and knees if the animal hairs are on the carpet, but it does work.

Quite right dalrymple

Shell: Don't bother! Dogs are hairy shedding creatures - I have three. Just give guests a clothes brush on the way out!

I used to wonder why ‘For Sale’ sites said ‘from a pet free home’.

I suppose that’s why.

I strongly recommend one of these; don’t be tempted to buy a cheaper version.
From the long River company,
it was recommended to me and I’ve used them ever since for furniture and mats.

I use a small rubber brush and follow up with our Miele vacuum with the turbo brush head attachment. A rubber glove also works to gather up the hair before vacuuming.
