Default How to Remove Dog Hair

Hi,

I'm attempting to clean my dad's RX. The dog has been in the back of it(trunk) unfortunately and her hair is almost woven into the liner etc. I have taken a vacume to it and tried to get most of it out. Is there any suggestions to getting it all out.

Thanks

Couple things that have worked pretty good for me are;

K-9 mitt sold at pet stores and online as here; http://www.autogeek.net/autk9upcarmi.html

For a quicker route with something most of us have around the house; Duct tape wrapped around your hand, sticky side out. Not super fast, but it works well.

Good solution. Next thing to do is shave the dog.

If you have some anti static spray (the wives usually have some ) then spraying that a few minutes before you use the duct tape helps too. Don't wet the seats down with it though.

Once the tape starts to clog up with hair, time to wrap some new tape around your hand. You'll go through a few wraps if there's a lot of hair.

I always charge a "nuisance' fee for excessive hair, because it can take an extra 1/2 hour to 1 hour of labor to get it all. Not fun for me or the customers' wallets.

Harder for people with cloth seats vs leather. I always cover my seats and floors with blankets, it helps a lot with my (2) dogs. Also saves the leather from scratches or gouges.
