Anyone has any good ideas as to how what is the best way? My weekly vacuuming is quite a chore as the hair are just so difficult to be sucked up by the vacuum cleaner.
I've tried using a brush and even duct tape or masking tape. Not bad ideas but very troublesome and time demanding... any ideas?

I like to use the rubber brooms, such as Sweepa. They work on hardfloors and on carpet. We use these at the grooming shop where I work.

The broom we have at work we had had since October 2004 and so far it still has all the bristles.

We got a Dyson. . the model made specifically for pet hair. It works 10000% better than any other vacuum I've ever owned. Couple that with weekly brushing of all your pets and you'll have way less hair in the carpet.

After going through the comments it seems that it would be the best choice!!!
Hahahahha but if you guys checked my profile, I'm actually from Asia and I don't think I've seen any of these brooms in stores!
I think I'm gonna get my buddy from NY to get one of these for me since he's coming back at the end of the year!!!

THere are products that I have used that work pretty well for getting fur off the furniture. There is a yellow latex sponge you can get that works okay and there is also what looks like a rubber brush that I have used also. The trick to those is to rub in a circular motion so that the hair balls up on itself. If you dampen the area just slightly with a fine mist of water, the fur balls up even faster.
If it is the carpet you are trying to remove the hair from, I'm afraid I don't know anything better than the vaccuum cleaner. The kind with the rotating brush work best, especially if you can adjust the carpet height on it; a lower height usually works better.
Good Luck.

Yes... and it depends on the type of carpet/rug. For those office type, its generally very easy to lift any hairs up. But for those "fury" carpets like I have in my room, its really a nightmare!!!
I find the fastest way not is to "scrape" the carpet with my fingers or a brush so that the hair "balls" up. Definitely faster than a vacuum cleaner!!!! Hahahaha...

Hmmm damp cloth? As in wiping the area over with it? Is might be possible on hard surfaces... but on carpets? I don't think so right? :)
