Remove Pet Hair from Your Car: Household Hacks

Lint rollers and vacuums are always effective at removing dog hair from a car. Don’t have either of those on-hand and need to remove pet hair quickly? Try the following:

• Duct Tape/Packing Tape
• Fabric Softener Sheets
• Wet Rubber Kitchen Gloves
• Inflated Balloon (Rub the balloon over the pet hair to create static electricity, which will help pick it up.)
• Velcro Curlers (Don’t forget to clean them when you’re done!)

How to Get Dog Hair Out of Car Seats

When you need to remove pet hair from cloth seats, refer to the list below:

• Pet Hair Roller: The long handle and sticky lint roller at the end make this an effective tool for grabbing hair quickly.
• Fabric Sweeper: You can find this item at most Phoenix and grocery stores. It uses two rollers to remove pet hair and trap it in a small receptacle.
• Rubber-Bristled Pet Hair Brush: You can use this type of brush to brush your pet before putting them in the car and after to remove any pet hair from the upholstery.
• Pet Hair Removal Mitts: Made from a soft fabric, these mitts can remove stubborn pet hair from softer fabrics without causing damage.
• Fur Remover Broom: Do you have more than one furry friend? This rubber bristle broom doesn’t play games and makes removing pet hair from the seats, floor, or cargo area easier in one sweep.

Does your car have leather seats instead of cloth? A quick wipe down with a microfiber cloth and lint roller should do the trick.

Use Pet Hair as a Pest Deterrent for Your Garden

If you have a garden, pet hair — dog hair, specifically — can be a great way to keep your herbs and produce safe. Rodents and deer are driven away by the scent of dog hair. So, what’s the best way to get dog hair out of a car and use it in your garden? Place the dog hair a breathable burlap bag and set it near your plants or sprinkle it around the outer perimeter of your garden.
