Default Hair Removal

When cleaning the interior of a car, the most stressful part for me is getting all the hair out, especially if you have black interior. So how do you get all the cat/dog hair out of the carpets?

I use rubber gloves and just rub my hand over the hair creating a little bit of friction. I get the hair in a nice pile and just vacuum it up. I've tried everything and this has been the best method by far.

I used my Dyson to vacuum my car to get rid of all the cat hair my friend's coat left in it.

On the CG website they have a roller thing that grabs up all the hair, but do you think it can slowly rip up the carpeting in the car also?

Removal of animal hair (Carpets):
1. Solution 10:1 Fabric Softener / Distilled water. Its anti-static properties help to release the hairs from the carpets fibres. The scent will actually help to destroy odour since most contain anti-bacterial agents.
2. Distilled water / Woolite 10:1
Powerful Vacuum
A pair of household rubber or latex gloves

Techniques used:
1.Vacuum the area first. This will remove any loose hair and surface dirt.
2.Wet area down with the fabric softener mix, but do not soak.
3.Allow to dwell for 5-10 minutes.
4.Turn your vacuum on and place the nozzle at an angle close to the area to be worked. With one hand, rub the carpet with some pressure in a sweeping motion towards the nozzle. The hair should pile up. I now lightly spray the area with a solution 10:1 Fabric Softener / Distilled water
