Remove Pet Hair From Furniture {Tuesday’s Tip Jar}

I have spoiled critters. They are allowed on the furniture. Why not? After all, there is nothing as relaxing as watching a movie with them cuddling with you! My “girls” are a part of my family.

Allowing them on the furniture means constantly getting their fur off  – which is one of the reasons I recently slip-covered my sofa. Regular brushing and grooming is good prevention and helps a little.

There Are Easy Ways To Remove Pet Fur From Your Furniture

• A lint roller or lint brush will quickly remove surface fur from your cushions. I’ve personally found that the lint brush works best of the two. It picks-up the deeper, woven-into-the-fabric fur.
• A slightly damp sponge will work just as good as any gadget seen on TV. Rub the hair briskly in a circular motion. It will gather up and you can remove easily.
• Before vacuuming, spray with Static Guard®. This loosens the fur’s grip to the furniture allowing for easy removal with the vacuum. This works especially well when fur gets woven into upholstery.
• Using the same principle as Static Guard®, use a dryer sheet to pick-up fur. The bonus is that “April Fresh Scent”.
• Rubber gloves work well to. Put it on, rub in different directions and viola – instant fur remover.

Now, here’s an interesting way to keep the fur off of the furniture. I don’t think any of my girls would allow me to do this since they scatter as soon as the vacuum is turned on. But it’s a great idea!
