Love your furry best friend but hate the fur all over your car? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Removing pet hair can be a real pain, especially if you have a long-haired pet. But with the right tools and techniques, it doesn’t have to be.
In this post, we’ll share some tips and tricks to help you get your car looking fur-free in no time. Whether you’re a Pet person or a cat lover, you’ll find something helpful here. We’ll cover everything from the best tools to use to the most effective cleaning methods. So, let’s get started!
Methods & Tools to Completely Remove Pet Hair from Your Car
Use Your Home Tools – A Vacuum Cleaner.
This is a commonly used method for removing fur from car seats. And most importantly, it’s a tool at your disposal. Standard home vacuum cleaners work best for removing hair from carpets and seats because they are more powerful and come with a range of attachment tools. So, you can reach every corner of the car.
When vacuuming, make sure to follow a lifting motion. It will help you to lift loose hair from your carpets and seats but will not damage any as it balances the suction.
Use a Link Roller
This tool is designed for removing small particles attached to freshly washed and dried clothes, bedsheets, and other linens. Therefore, it can also be used to remove hair from your car seats. Simply roll it over your seats and other interior surfaces.
It’s a handy tool to keep with you when you’re out and about, and it can easily be used to clean recently shed pet hair. It’s quick and simple. However, there’s a drawback to using lint rollers: they can’t reach every corner of your car’s interior. Keep one in your car’s console to remove pet hairs quickly after each trip.
Velcro hair curler
While it’s a bit unconventional, it’s surprisingly effective. Its curlers easily grab hair with minimal effort. Importantly, these won’t damage your seats and can even be used to clean your carpets. As a bonus, you can reuse the curlers as many times as needed. Keep one in your glove compartment for convenience, and you won’t regret it.
After use, simply wipe off the collected hair from the curler outside the car.
Use a Pet Hair Cleaning Brush, Stone or Glove.
As an owner of a pet, you must have one of these at your disposal. Did you know that you can use the same tools to remove hair from car interior.
- Pet Hair Cleaning Brushes: These brushes utilize static electricity to attract Pet hair, making them ideal for car seats and rugs. The durable yet soft rubber bristles ensure gentle cleaning without damaging your upholstery.
- Pet Hair Cleaning Stones: For stubborn hair embedded deep into your car fabric, these stones can be a valuable tool. They help loosen and remove the hair, making cleaning easier.
- Pet Hair Cleaning Gloves: These gloves, often used for grooming Pets, can also be effective for removing hair from car interiors. The soft silicone tips collect loose hair, providing a convenient and hands-on approach.
Squeegee
A squeegee offers a quick and budget-friendly solution for removing pet hair from your car. Like rubber gloves, the rubber blade of the squeegee gathers Pet hair as you swipe it across seats and floors. This efficiently collects hair into a single pile for easy disposal
Use a Wire Brush
A wire brush can be a valuable tool for removing stubborn Pet hair, especially after other methods have been used. However, due to the potential risk of damaging carpets, it’s best reserved as a final step. Use the wire brush gently on the upholstery, ensuring you’ve removed all remaining hair before proceeding.
4 Ways to Prevent Pet Hair on Your Car Seat
Preventing Pet hair from accumulating on your car seat is key to maintaining a clean interior. Here are effective strategies:
- Use Seat Covers: Protect your seats with specialized Pet hair seat covers or even temporary options like moving blankets.
- Apply Anti-Static Spray: Static electricity attracts Pet hair. An anti-static spray, containing a conducting polymer, helps neutralize static charges and prevent hair from sticking.
- Employ a Car Humidifier: Dry skin can lead to increased shedding. A car humidifier helps moisturize your Pet’s skin and improve air quality, reducing shedding and hair buildup.
- Regular Brushing: Brushing your Pet before they enter the car removes loose hair, minimizing the amount that ends up on your seats.
By implementing these preventative measures, you can significantly reduce the amount of Pet hair that accumulates in your car.
