A wet rubber glove. It works brilliantly. Clothes, upholstery, carpet etc. Put glove on hand. Put hand under tap. :p run your gloved hand over the surface you want to clean. Rinse and repeat. Yellow rubber glove at dollar store = $1. I use this as step #1, and then use a lint roller to get any stubborn little bits that I notice after. Even water on your bare hands rubbed over clothes...it get the bulk of the hair off. Mom of a leonberger, husky cross and cat, approved method.

I use a dirt devil ultra hand vac to get hair off of furniture, blankets, catbeds, recliner, and small corners. It works really good. It pulls off all the cat hair and beats out dust. It has a spinning brushroll. You can hear how it beats the couch. It has microfresh filtration and uses bags. It smells fresh when it's ran. It costs around $30 at Wal-Mart. I really recommend it. It uses a cord so it never loses power.

I use a dog bristle hair brush (metal with rounded ends) it removes all the vat hair from my couch! I've bought every type of lint roller and product and I find the dogbrush works the best

I was just about to post the same tip about the Pledge product. The back and forth motion makes a huge difference in how much pet hair you pick up. I have never had a problem with the pet hair coming back out like another commenter said. I swear by this thing! Great for getting pet hair off of lamp shades as well.

Great presentation and comparison of products! I have now subscribed to your series... hoping for a cleaner 2016! : )

OMG... I use the pledge product and NEVER knew the rollers were removable! I have catS and have 3-4 on hand at all times. THANKS for this money saving tip!

The lint roller also works great on suits, and being so cheap many office workers have one in the car and one in the office for quick cleans of their suits (as well as several in the house). But when my bed sheets (or a duvet cover in the video example) get covered in cat hair, it really does seem a waste (despite each lint sheet costing about 1.5c each) to go through multiple sheets. But having watched this video, I think the best solution is for a combination of the Pledge Fabric Sweeper AND lint roller. ie. Sweeper to really quickly remove most of the hair, then the lint roller to really quickly get the final bits of hair with only one or two sheets.

New comment on an old post but with the Pledge product, make short, back and forth motions and it will pick up a ton of hair faster. Also, don’t pop the rollers out - there is a switch on the top end that you use to lock and unlock the bottom from the top to clean out the hair. If you pop the rollers out, you take a chance at breaking the area where the rollers are held, rendering the product useless. I’ve had mine for years and I love it. White bed linens with 5+ cats! I only use the lint roller for my clothes and the brush is useless (IMHO).

I have a german Shepard that sleeps in my bed with me... i go trough atleast 40 sheets of the rolling paper 😂 before every wash

The two best things I use for my three cats are the rubber gloves (wet them first -- they pick up more when they are wet); and a small squeegee. The squeegee works great on bigger surfaces like couches. I also have success with a wire brush on a suede couch.

Getting a good hair brush for your animals helps a lot too.

I have used the Pledge fabric sweeper for a long time now, and I love it. It actually works better than you are showing, because you are not using it properly in this video. It says right on the box to slide it "side to side in short strokes" because of the directions of the rollers, this motion scoops all the hair to the center to collect in the sweeper.

I like my rubber hair brushie thing. Esp on the office upholstery

The brush attachment on your vacuum can be really helpful too! Cheers we love your videos!

Molly was an added bonus! Love her!!!!

Great video! I have 2 large dogs and if I don't vaccum every other day it's like a 'hair explosion'! I wash my duvet covers and sheets atleast once a week or else I am choking on hairballs. My lint trap in my dryer is ALWAYS full of hair. I also use my dog brush (furminator) to brush my area rugs and it works really well but it is just time consuming. Love your videos!

What a pretty cat! Thanks for the tips. I'm a new sub and I LOVE your videos!! Keep them coming!

Love the intro! Adorable!

it very educative thank you very much

Hey Melissa you should try a fulminator on your cats. I have two puppys and my wife and I noticed way less pet hair in the house! I groom them once a week and less fur to deal with!

The schticky is a great alternative to the lint roller. More expensive but you never have to buy refills. Just rinse it off.

I think you edited the video at 5:12 which I think is to demonstrate that the fabric sweeper was the most effective...

Thanks for your video. I have an Italian Greyhound who sheds his tiny hairs like crazy all over the bed. The sticky tape roller brush takes too much time, creates too much waste and will always be an ongoing expense. It takes 20 minutes to thoroughly de-hair our emperor size bed. I can't take it anymore. I even tried using my Dyson. Besides being awkward, it just doesn't work on soft/fabric surfaces. I found those self-cleaning roller brushes on AliExpress for just a couple quid (a couple dollars). Just ordered one and will arrive in about a month.

So I looked for the pledge fabric sweeper not sure if they discontinued them but they sell on average for 50$ and upwards of 200$ crazy money

I use 2" masking or box sealing tape folded in a loop sticky side out... to take the hair off of my suede house slippers, have a harlequin great dane. it works great...faster than a vacuum cleaner...

They threw the cat lmao 😂😂😂💋

The fabric sweeper works best if you sweep it back and forth in a quick motion as opposed to one way sweep like you did in the video. FYI. Love your videos!

Was that cat thrown at you?

The lint roller comes in a 12 inch wide size. It makes quick work of pet hair on a bed or furniture.

Rubber gloves work great

I stopped caring about cat hair on my clothes a long time ago..unless I need to dress up for a certain occasion. I store all my best dresses/formal skirts in vacuum bags and when I get changed, I hide in the bathroom and leave the house as soon as I'm finished :D

I found the best way is to actually get a Furminator and brush all the fur off my dog periodically, most of it anyways, now it's a lot easier and alot less hair that I see floating around the house that needs vacuumed

nice job

Entertaining vid, great reviews.

thank you!

Yellow rubber gloves with the little bumps on them. Works like a charm. $1 at the dollar store and you can reuse them for cleaning.

Also seen other videos use a rubber glove and vacuum on the couches and carpeting .tried it works pretty well

Found it!!! Looking for this video! :)

how are those pet hair series hand held vacuum? got any reviews?

I think it is because the pet hair is so "woven" into the fabric. It was nice to see it works well on pet hair that is on the top of surfaces.

that rubber brush you have there is meant to ball up hair so its easy to pic up and works well on everything.i also use a small cordless vacuum with that same ruber brush on the end.its good for use when pet hair gets bad so you don't have to drag the vacuum out all the time

I don't know what you mean about Siamese cats not shedding... mine definitely does!

The brush is a great tool for harder surfaces. It's great for automotive use. It doesn't remove the hair, but rather gathers it up so you can vacuum it away. Instead of long stokes you do lots of short strokes.

A squeegee or rubber glove are the best things to use to get pet hair off furniture, blankets etc.

Thanks

I love your videos!!

I have a dog. Thanks again for the advice.

I have tried all of these. I honestly have found that rubber gloves work best.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

fabric softner dryer sheets also works.....i learned that when i workd as an housekeeper...u cn dust with thm as well, plus make the house smell good. its worth a try if you have any.

Hi Melissa! I wonder why you gave the Pledge Fabric Sweeper 9 instead of 10, when you like it so much. I want to find that for myself, but I'd like to know if there was a negative. Maybe I just missed something in the video...? Wow. I just noticed that the video was upload five years ago, so I hope you still do this! =) Thanks!

Thank you! I have three cats in our house and they are all different colors and shed a lot!! Lol

Hey Melissa can you do a video on how to clean carpet stains? Mine has a huge black one. Thanks!

Where did you buy the Pledge Fabric sweeper for under $10? The cheapest I see online is around $45. ?

I love the pet hair explosion at 5:30 - lol

Loooved the intro :D

I would love an updated video on this! What are your favorites now?

The fabric sweeper, you actually should go back and forth not just one way sweep, the rollers help pick up more hair... and I love that its easy to actually empty and re-use instead of getting another.

3:09 I like how the cat is all sneaky-like, hunting something that's not there. lulz

Loved your idea's sometimes I just take a white dish cloth and wet it with cold water then wipe my clothes. I would really like to know if you find any other ideas because we have two cats with no end to the hair flowing.

Ive got these two oven mit looking things my whole family uses and they grab up all the hair we ever needed to get off . we got two dogs and a mainecoon so lots of hair ! I think its called Evercare Pet Hair Pic-Up Mitt . Its better than a roller because you dont need to waste paper and you actually dont have to clean the mitt up after EVERY use.

It was entertaining, I don't know if i would do it again though ,my cat resented me a little lol... probably because i laughed every time i saw her. Thanks for replying!! i love your videos.

my mom wants me to be on youtube and watch your videos cause i am always so motavated to clean

The Pledge pet hair remover has to be used in a back and forth sweeping motion. Going in one direction will not work nearly as well. I've had mine for 2 years and regularly take it apart and vacuum it. I love it. I paid under $10 at Walmart in Canada for it.

Learn Liberty Will you be my personal pet hair remover cuz my clothes get rediculously full of hair. But question: Right now i just washed my clothes 2 times and there is still hair all over them, looks as if they wernt even washed. I use the De-Staticker or what ever it is and nothing seems to help, even used 5 dryer sheets to see if thatd help. Any tips on how to keep hair off and away from my outfit. I do have pets but they do not come in this particular room i always shut the door but i still have hairy clothes. Help me with everything u can tip out or what ever. Thanks.

I LOVE the Pledge fabric sweeper. That and regular vaccuming keeps the pet hair in check. P.s. I

Have you ever tried using a squeegee? I have one and it works amazingly for us(for the carpets)

helped a lot! thanks. Got two Ragdoll's (HAIRBOMBS), so i really need to clean up the hair before i start coughing up hairballs lol.

I have the same problem with my beagle. Her hairs are so thick and stiff that they actually get stuck into fabric. I didn't have any luck with the pledge sweeper either. I had to buy a new vacuum that was designed to pick up pet hair. It's a pricey option but worth it in the long run! Another cool thing you could do is get a de-shedding tool to use on your dog. I bought one and my dog sheds a lot less. Hope this helps!!

I don't think you touched on this, but when you started using the second product on your cat at the end, it got me thinking, another great way to prevent pet hair from being too bad, is not only to stay on top of vacuuming, but to groom your animal daily or as often as is recommended for your type of pet.

Your cat is too adorable!

Btw, i love your video editing :)

You kitty is beautiful...she looks like my Siamese that I grew up with. I have a rubber brush similar to the one you use. The only thing I use it for is to brush off people's couches. It was supposed to be amazing and make my work life easier...it's "eh". With my own duvet...I have a blanket for my kitties to sleep on (sometimes they do!) I just throw my duvet in the dryer for a bit. Works wonders. I'm loving your videso!

It also helps to brush your animals on a regular basis, something i don't do as often as I need to. :)

you're lucky you got the fabric sweeper for under 10 bucks them bad boys are like 60 bucks lol I was instantly excited when I seen you use it and was going to order one !!!! Now I'm sad 😔 !!! lol thank you though for the info!!

So in my experience the pledge device works best if you wiggle it back and forth, gradually working your way along a surface. In fact, I think that is what the instructions tell you to do (I don't remember with any certainty because it has been a long time).

does the pledge box pick up short hairs good?

Absolutely love the cats entrance haha

Hi Melissa, Do you have any tip to remove blood stain from clothes?. Would really help if you do. Thanks.

Hi, I pretty much make it right with my roomba with my floors and rugs. My problem are the bed sheets and covets and in my country (Catalonia, Spain) there is no Pledge fabric sweeper. Am I doomed? Thank you.

That’s right that rubber brush is called a Curry brush it removes loose hair from shedding cats and dogs. There is also a shampoo & conditioner and brushes called FURminator it works really well on deshedding your pets if you groom at home along with a high power dryer it will help with excess hair along with allergies, asthma. It helps with the hair build up. Good luck

I got the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for the back seat of my car where my 60lb boxer sits. It removed ZERO hair from the car seat fabric. The only thing that has worked it a stiff brush and the sticky rollers.

@cleanmyspace Thanks!! I may have to just Google for a duvet similar! I sure won't be buying expensive for our bed either, LOL but thanks again :)

Where can I find the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for $7 or $8? I could only find $40 something crazy price for this product!

I did not read all the comments, or hunt through to see if anyone suggested this. as back ground, i use to work as a pet groomer and had to deal with hair everywhere obviously. My very Fav product is the Microfiber head pet hair brushes. (will link) you run this over your cloths in the direction indicated on the brush and it picks up lint and animal hair, then just run your hand in the opposite direction to clean off what it's picked up. Anyhow i like this better then the sticky rolls, because you don't have so much waste and paper and there are many different kinds online you can buy... long strokes for general pick up, sort strokes for stubborn hair. Also, the rubber brushes work best with short strokes, i have a full rubber broom i use at home for getting stubborn hair out of carpet. www.amazon.com/Home-Store-10-inch-BRUSH-Double/dp/B0061WRUA4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412289503&sr=8-3&keywords=lint+brush

The furminator is great, but for a less costly brush, the "shed ender" is the same tool. I used to groom dogs and cats, and I think the $40 furminator and the $10 shed ender work just the same! Plus it's a little smaller so your kitty enjoys it more. Good luck ,shedding can be a nightmare to deal with.

what also woks is rubber gloves. and the squeegee is great on carpet and helps to keep you from constantly having to declog your vacuum. what i like to do is "sweep" my carpeted bedroom with a big squeegee and then vacuum. (i guess if you have an awesome vaccum you wouldn't have to constantly declog it tho... mine is pretty cheap -.-")

Hi Melissa I Love your channel ❤ I have 3 Huskies. So let me tell you about hair 🙄🤯😬🤬 So before I use a lint roller on my clothes I use a baby wipe. It's not good on all fabrics like silk but most. Let me tell you anything that's less stressful I'm all in 👍

You could use the Pledge roller over the whole bed first, then go over it with the lint roller c:

What's best for clothing? Will the fabric sweeper work?

good

The rubber brush actually works quite well if you know how to use it. I breed Persians and Himalayans and I have 2 or 3 different types of rubber brushes like the one you used in your video. You need to use short brushing motions in the same direction, and the hair will ball up so you can pick it up and throw it in the trash. If I didn't have this brush, I'd NEVER get my cat trees clean! They really are amazing, when you know what you're doing with them.

I have the kids play with balloons in the hairy areas and then have them take those outside and pop them taking most the pet hair with them...its fun...but doesn't work completely but it helps get the most of it out of the house (of course after popping they throw in the trash)...so its a fun way to clean pet hair

Love your cat.

i've heard squeegee could help with the carpet but i havent tried it but if you want to give it a try thats a thing :)

Hi Melissa, I am an auto detailer so you can imagine how much hair I deal with on a daily basis. I have tried all these products and had ultimate disappointment. Have you ever heard of a pet hair stone? I'm sure you could do a whole new video on this one, its also called Furzoff. This funny looking little stone is amazing on carpets and my microfiber couches. I carry them on my truck because customers always want one of their own. Also another product I use is Wipe New, I use it on plastic bumpers and paint but I have also used it on my patio furniture to bring back the color and shine its amazing. See what you think and thanks for all the videos.

I have two Labs, I vacuum 2 times a day!

I have 4 cats. I use a damp bar rag which is really textured. Actually any rough textured cloth will do. :o)

The Pledge product should be used in sort of a back and forth motion so that the two roller bits bring the fur into the container. Way better than a lint roller, especially if you have fur-covered fabric with a loose weave that fut gets embedded in rather than the kind of fabric your bedspread is made of. However, you did enlighten me in regards to removing said roller bits. Now why did I never think of doing that instead of cutting a hole into the plastic bit to remove the fur?

I do the vacuum/ hand held vacuum/ rubber gloves/ tape stuff and it all works pretty well. However what do I do with a blanket? I try laying it on a hard surface - couch, floor, bed - but it keeps bunching up as I remove the hair (dog hair). Can you please give me any suggestions? Many thanks.
