Is pet hair a problem?

Unless you have a snake, Sphynx cat or goldfish, pet hair is probably something you have to contend with as a pet owner. Shedding is healthy and natural - but no one wants fur all over their clothes, furniture and carpet, so here's how you can clean it up.

How do you remove cat hair from a dog?

These tricks work just as well for cat hair removal, too. In fact, you can even use them to remove excess hair from your pet's body. Simply run a rubber glove (or a glove specifically manufactured for pet hair removal) over your dog or cat's body and watch as the hair statically clings to the glove instead of your pet.

Can cats and dogs live without pet hair?

Cats and dogs: can't live without them, can live without their hair. If your home – and therefore, you – are forever covered in pet hair, you'll no doubt be looking for ways to get rid of it, especially if you're a house proud allergy sufferer as well as a pet owner. So, what are the best ways to get rid of pet hair?

Is it possible to have a pet hair-free space?

As long as you have pets at home, it isn't possible to have a totally pet hair-free space (unless you have a hairless cat as a pet), but thankfully the best pet hair remover tools can help manage the seemingly endless flow of fur.

How do I choose a pet hair remover?

These are the primary questions to ask yourself when you’re choosing a pet hair remover. If it’s just a bit on your clothes and sofa from time to time, then a roller, like the Evercare Pet Hair Extra Sticky Lint Roller, is your best bet.

How do pet hair removers work?

When your pets shed hair, they often get caught or embedded into strands of carpet, clothes and furniture. There are a few different variations of pet hair removers but many work by catching onto the hairs to pull them out. Your typical disposable lint roller works with sticky tape to - literally - stick the hairs onto the rollers.
