Why can't I get my dog's hair off my carpet?

Question

I can sweep a thousand times and still it doesn't all come up. I have a dyson which has been the best vacation I've had yet, but still doesn't help in that department. I've tried other products as well.

Answer 1

I use a Kirby vacuum ( I love it, it picks up all the pet hair)  and for touch ups I use a large sticky lint roller which I got from target. The vaccum website is listed below.

Answer 2

Because its better to have wooden floor if you have a dg cause its easier to get the dog hairs or you should get a new carpet

Answer 3

You could try a pool table brush. When you swipe it in one direction it picks up hair then when you swipe the opposite direction the hair comes off. They make a similar product in glove form for cleaning cat hair off clothes.

We have this one and it works really well. The brush has the same type of fabric on it, but I can't seem to find any links for it. Unfortunately, this might take quite a bit of time to clean your floors.

I'd also check the brush level on your vacuum, if it's set too high it wouldn't be able to brush the carpet. And make sure it's not tangled and the brush is spinning. Good luck!

Answer 4

The best method that I've found is to buy the large foam mops for kitchens.

If you spray your carpet down with water (lightly) and then move the mop in the same direction on the carpet, the hair will ball up and stick to the mop.

Do it *after* you vacuum, that way the majority of hair is already up.

Tried using a vaccume?

Answer 7

I bought a broom with large plastic bristles that works great. I pull in near the edge of the carpet and vacuum. It also loosens up other hair and dirt.

Mine looks like the one:
