Removing Cat Hair from Upholstery

Instersting. I will have to try that. Does it work on all types of upholstery?

Having had my two wonderful cats for 20 years I can completely agree with you that rubber gloves are the most excellent way to rid anything made of material of cat hairs .. One thing I always found to be a challenge was going out without having cat hairs all over me ... a quick rub down with rubber gloves on really does remove practically every hair from your clothes ... I also used to gently stroke my cats with rubber gloves on ... this removes loose hairs from their coats and helps your cats to keep their coats nice .. especially helpful for older cats who are not so mobile for reaching awkward spots ... and if you do it from a kitten they will enjoy having it done and it saves a lot of hairs being left on furnishings too

Hey ACE! Thanks for the info We have two cats and we will DEFINATELY try this method!

That's a good idea? I usually use the upholstery attachment on my vaccuum sweeper and that works pretty well too. I also have a throw blanket I leave on the couch. The cats tend to lay on that instead of directly on the couch. Very easy to toss that in the washing machine for cleaning!

I have never tried this. i know that sometimes I would get so frustrated with hair that I would use masking tape to get hair off my furiture. I will have to try this. It sounds much more easier. thank you!!!

How did you find out about this method? Great idea! I will definitly have to try it. We don't have a cat, however we have a Boxer puppy and though she doesn't shed much she does shed. Are you using the latex gloves or like dishwashing gloves what? Thanks for the info!

I no longer have a cat but i imagine this would work for other types of fluff and dust as well

That is excellant advice I will pass that on to a friend of mine who has that trouble, thank you so much.

Why thanks for sharing that, I'll give that a try next time. Our cat leaves hair everywhere specially in summer.

I use the rolling lint remover for clothing. But your way is much cheaper. Thanks

im glad you shared that tips...much costless i think..thanks anyway and more power to you here..

well i've seen a product by telebrands on tv.. its a mini powerful vackum cleaner and they demonstrated that,... it really works if we believe in that demonstration...

I dont have a cat in the house at present but had a cat for 13 years. I used to do the same thing to get her hair off from the upholstery. It really works like a charm and is by far the most easiest way to get cat hair off quickly and efficiently

You can also use the bottom of a clean tennis shoe, that works good too. A damp washcloth works good too. I will have to try the rubber glove trick.

That does work well. Something that I've found works even better, though, are lint brushes like they make for removing lint from clothes. I'm a former cat breeder/show person and have 17 cats in my house, so cat hair is something I'm way too familiar with. The lint brush is my best tool for removing it.

That's pretty cool. Sorta like that roller you see the commericals on tv. :) Except you don't have to buy the as sold on tv product. Cool! I use the tape rollers. I don't have a cat, so I don't know if a rubber glove would work on getting all the dog hair off my bed. So I keep a roller beside my bed. This way it is also handy for when my clothes get any fur due to them sitting on me lap. :)

If this is for real, then I should try removing dogs fur from some of my clothes. Even after a wash, they stick. I just put up with it because I love my dogs. But I wonder whether it will drive people away from me!!!

Good work trick will be usefull really

I was reading Good Housekeeping magazine today and this happened to be one of the topics they were giving tips for. They suggested taking an old pair of panty hose, crumpling it into a ball and rubbing it over the upholstery. They said the hair would stick to it and then you just throw it away. I haven't tried it so I can't vouch for the method personally, but they usually know what they're talking about.
