If you have a dog or cat with fur, the fur is going to get into the carpet. It's a fact. While regular vacuuming is a must, pet hair can get embedded into the carpet fibers and can be tricky to get out. Here are a few methods and tricks to help take the pain out of carpet cleaning up pet hair.
Clean Up Dog Hair with Baking Soda
The baking soda method is not only great for extracting dog hair out of your carpet; it also leaves it smelling great! All you’ll need is a vacuum and a fresh box of baking soda (which you probably already have in your pantry.) Apply the baking soda liberally to the hair infested areas of your couch and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Vacuum it thoroughly and you’re done!
Clean Up Dog Hair with Fabric Softener
Cleaning up excess dog hair from your carpet doesn’t have to cost you a thing. In fact, when you use the fabric softener approach, all it takes is some creativity and a little bit of time for this perfect do-it-yourself remedy to take affect! For this DIY, you’ll need a spray bottle, fabric softener, water and a vacuum. Start by mixing three parts water to one part fabric softener and pour into a spray bottle. Without spraying too much onto your carpet, spray solution by lightly misting the affected area of your carpet. Let it stand for a few minutes and vacuum it up!
Use a Sponge Mop or Squeegee
For stubborn hair that has been in your carpet for a while, it can easily become embedded deep in your carpets fibers. Try using a rubber squeegee and brush it along those troubled areas that contain your dog’s hair and fur.
