I’m going to be revealing the top five ways that you can remove pet hair from your car. To save you the hassle of doing all the research and trying to find the right methods and tools, I’ve got you completely covered.
I’m going to be revealing all the different pros and cons of every single tool featured in this video. Plus, I’m going to be explaining why I personally believe that there is not one perfect tool for removing pet hair.
my dog, Sunny, and he’s my best friend. One thing he likes to do is get messy. I’m sure that many of you dog owners out there struggle to remove all the pet hair in your car, and that’s mainly due to modern-day cars which now have cheap, low-quality carpet that just grips the hairs. Unfortunately, hoovering on its own simply won’t cut it. But it doesn’t mean that you need to spend a fortune on expensive equipment.
So let's kick it off with the first pet hair tool on the list
You can pick these up for around four pounds on average. Not only are they great at removing pet hairs, but they’re also pretty good at carpet stripes too. Because they have plenty of micro teeth on them, they’re quite effective at pulling out some of the shorter hairs. However, one problem I’ve found with these over time is that they start to disintegrate pretty quickly because the rubber dries out. Then, as you brush into the fabric, you’ll find tiny particles of rubber falling in there. It’s not a terrible thing and not a deal-breaker, but it’s something you should be aware of. If you’re going to continuously use these, you may need to stock up on more than one. While this block is excellent for carpet stripes, its main purpose is to remove pet hair, and while it works pretty well, I wouldn’t say that it’s the best. In fact, the next tool on the list might be even better.
This happens to be one of the best tools you can use for removing short pet hairs from any type of fabric. Although I genuinely love this tool,
I have to say that in the wrong hands, you will cause damage to any of the plastic trim if you scratch the surface. I now want to give you a quick demonstration to show you exactly what I mean by that.
Whatever you do, do not try this on your own car because it will scratch it, and you won’t be able to fix it. So, just say I’m removing some pet hairs and, whoops,
I catch it on the trim. This is bad; you can hear it. Now I’m going to wipe it just to show you what that’s done. Don’t forget, you can also scuff leather seats too. If you’re not 100% confident in your steady hand, then I recommend you stick around till the end because there are plenty more alternatives still to come.
Every single household probably has at least one pair in their home, and they’re pretty good at removing pet hairs.
However, when I say they’re good at removing pet hairs, that’s about as far as it goes. They’re not great, and whether these gloves work or not is purely down to the type of fabric you have within your car.
For example, in this footage, I’m working on a Tesla, which has a beautifully manufactured carpet. To remove the hairs is so simple, and there’s no real effort needed.
However, on your typical carpets, you won’t get anywhere near the same results with the rubber gloves.
If the gloves don’t work for you, then you really need to take a look at this Maxshine pet hair brush.
With an average price of nine pounds, it’s not the cheapest out there, but it’s still a good five dollars cheaper than others brush, and it does exactly the same thing.
I prefer this over the pet hair block mainly because the pet hair block deteriorates too quickly.
With this one, I don’t have any teeth on it, which means you don’t get any small bits of rubber that fall into the carpet.
I love these, especially if the car is completely clogged up in the boot with dog hair, because they’re so quick at removing it. However, you have to be very careful using one of these. Use it too heavily in one place, and you will cause snagging on the fabric. You have to know your material here. You don’t want to start using this on very delicate cars that you really want to keep on top of. These should be just for the really old bangers where it doesn’t really matter as much. One of the biggest problems about using these, though, is the amount of mess that you’re going to make. Yes, it’s great at removing pet hair, but no, it doesn’t solve all those problems because you’re going to get dust flicking up everywhere. Unless you’ve got somebody literally holding a hoover right next to it to capture some of those hairs in the dust, it can cause a huge mess. I’m not just kidding here; I’ve done it myself in a video, and it just blew it everywhere.
