Hair on Roof Liner
After buying my RX, I noticed that there are what look like dog hairs in the roof liner. They are small black ones probably about 2-5cm in length and they are black. Now in a light coloured interior (especially the rear) these do tend to stand out, especially to me. What is the best way to get this off without damaging the roof liner?
I have tried the following options:
Thanks for any advice.
I have tried the following options:
- Rubber glove to "catch" as I swipe - this didnt work at all
- Individually picking - on second thought that would take forever
- Sticky tape - pulls hair out but fills up very quickly and doesn't make a huge impact straight away
Thanks for any advice.

A lint roller. Now there's an idea. Seeing as it's the headliner at the back of the RX, there's plenty of room to use one of those. I will give it a go this weekend.

Why not a vacuum with a soft bristle brush attachment? Works great for furniture, can't imagine it wouldn't work in the car.
Lint roller is a good option, but the vacuum seems like a better one because you can hit other areas, too, and keep the car clean.

I tried just brushing off with hand and they are in their tight. I don't know if my vaccuum actually has the strength to take out all those tiny hairs. Admittedly I haven't tried it, so will give anything a crack to get it working.

Bought a lint roller today and it did a fantastic job of removing most of the hair from the headliner. Really easy without too much effort to get it off. Thanks for the suggestion.
