How to Get Pet Hair Out of Furniture and Your Home
Pet hair is easier to manage when you treat it as a regular cleaning task rather than a once-in-a-while deep clean. The key is to target the fabric surfaces where hair accumulates most.
Focus on high-contact areas
Start with sofas, couches, pet beds, blankets, cushions and clothing. These surfaces tend to collect loose dog and cat hair quickly.
Use the right tool for fabric
A reusable pet hair remover roller can help collect loose hair before vacuuming. FurAway™ is designed for repeated manual use and requires no batteries or electricity.
Vacuum after removing loose hair
Once loose hair has been collected, vacuum the remaining debris from floors, upholstery and hard-to-reach areas.
Wash washable fabrics regularly
Follow care labels for blankets, covers and other washable textiles. Removing loose hair before washing can also reduce the amount that ends up in the machine.
Reduce future buildup
Regular grooming, frequent light cleaning and keeping pet bedding clean can make daily maintenance easier.
A simple weekly plan
- Remove loose hair from furniture and bedding.
- Vacuum upholstery and floors.
- Wash washable pet bedding according to its care label.
- Repeat smaller cleanups during the week when needed.
For delicate materials, test cleaning tools on an inconspicuous area first.
