Does anyone have any tips tricks or a cool tool for pet hair removal from cloth seats or a interior protectant that help the hair not stick.

My current process is to vacuum as much as I can use a interior brush to loosen the remaining hair vacuum again tape roller and some times twease the remaining hair out.
 
I use a rock called a pet fur remover rock... Works amazing, but for the life of me I cannot remember where I found it.

Light mist with a 20:1 dilution of fabric softener to release the static electricity then wipe with a rubber glove hand into a pile.
 
A pumice stone (found in the cleaning supply section at Walmart) works miracles. Carefully wipe it lightly across the upholstery, also works great on carpet!

:iagree:I use the Wal-Mart stone on carpet but found a nice one in the foot care section and rubber dish gloves on cloth seats also works great.
 
I usually fall to the ground, kick and scream till one of my guys does it for me. Works great! :dblthumb2: lol

Probably the best method of them all. If you don't like falling and Screaming try an intense bathroom break.
 
I've been using duct tape inside out then padding it until it's gone..... Hmmmm, I'll have to give some of these ideas a try. :props:
 
Wrap your hand with masking tape (sticky side out)...pat-pat-pat.

Gentleman,
Perhaps you may already know, but they make a tape roller especially for pet hair. It can usually be found in the pet department or the checkout lines out wally world, Lowe's, Home Depot, and Menard's. You'll get quite a bit of lint on the tape as well, which I'm sure you're already aware of. The roller works flawless for hair that's on the surface, as does tape wrapped around your hand. The good rollers are a bit more sticky than the cheapo's. I'm not sure, but I think my good one is made by 3M. Still not as strong of stick as duck tape though. It's just easier to use the roller and it's easy to rip sheets off when you need a new one.

However, from my experience the roller or tape around the hand doesn't pull out embedded hairs very well (have to try duck tape). This may be where the stone excells, in removing the stubborn embedded hairs that dig deep into the fabric. I can't say for sure if it works or not as I've never had a chance to use one, but I hear they're the bomb for removing hair.

I wasn't aware the stones could be found at wally world. How big are the one's found there? I do know that some are sold (though they're small) at sporting goods stores under the name Burrs-Off and are used for burr removal. I used on of those once and found it to be harsh on fabrics, so you'd just have to use some commone sense in using them.
 
I've used those roller types too and we have them in the house. They work pretty well but these stones everyone's mentioning intrigues me....:props:
 
I use a Pet Hair Sponge...sometime called a Pet Hair Lifter Sponge. Works exceptionally well and not abrasive like a stone. In essence it is a sponge that is rather tacky...they are very much like a soot sponge used for post fire clean up prior to painting.

Not sure is this sponge is like the rubber comb I bought or not, but that comb sits on the shelf alot.
 
I have tried the rollers and now have a shelf full of them. I discovered the stone when one of my clients hauled a white Yeti around in her Porsche. Black Porsche carpet is VERY thick and the roller just could not get into the fibers. Vacuuming only accomplished so much. Mr. Renny Doyle suggested the stone and I have not looked back since. It sounds harsh being a stone but is actually quite safe and easy to use. I worry that combs and brushes would start pulling the fibers up.
 
Don't know if these stones are any different from the pumis ones at Walmart but ADS has them.
