Dog hair...

How do you remove dog hair from the interior fabric? I have some on the back of my seats and even a really good vacuum won't get it all. I've heard of using latex gloves. Any suggestions?

You can try taking clear packing tape or duct tape something like that, loop it around your hand where the sticky side is pointing away from your hand and you have a cheap lint brush, just rub on the dog hair that should work to get it up. also you might want to go back over it after you do that because if the hair didn't come up by the tape at least it is a little more loose and just go back over it with a vaccum. good luck

I use my Dyson vacuum. It picks up every last hair with ease... It only takes me about 3 minutes to vacuum all the hair out of the car from my German Shepherd.

I was a little upset my wife wanted to spend so much $ on a vacuum, but since then (3 years ago) I've seen how good a vacuum it is.

And NO - I don't work for Dyson.

I had the same problem in my old Mustang, I let my dog go for rides with me in the car and his hair got all stuck in the carpet. My normal vacuum job wouldn't get rid of it, tape, lint rollers, brushes... nothing seemed to work.

RUBBER GLOVES!

The disposable ones, yes. It's a pain in the ass, but it works. Don't blame me when you want to cut your hands off though, as it ends up taking a lot more work than you'd think. Basically just put one on your hand and start rubbing. Not sure why it works but it does, I basically kept my vacuum on and held it with my one hand, wiping the seats down with the gloved hand and let the hair fall into the vacuum. Worked great, and I never let the dog in the car again after that.

my wife's shedding after giving birth to our 2nd kid.

i use a generic hard bristled nylon brush to remove hair and small
soil. works great. you can get them pretty much anywhere.
