Any tips on pet hair removal

I may have to look into these stones. I have been using nitrile gloves or for heavy pet hair I have a dog grooming mitt that is made of rubber and has little nubs on both sides. And of course a good vacuum.
 
The other day I had a nightmare vehicle. Pt cruiser with a ton of dog hair everywhere.... Used a shop vac, that was a no go. Used the lint roller, got out some, but not all the embeded hair. I ended up using the hook part of a hook and loop pad, worked pretty well.

But I came across this video of the stone you guys were talking about

I think I'm gonna have to get me one of those
 
The stone works great on carpet but can be kind of tough on some cloth seats. The pumice stone I use from the foot department at wal-mart is about the size of a bar of dial soap. I still refer the rubber dishwashing gloves on cloth seats over the nitrile gloves.Kudos to Todd Cooprider for this tip from his "Ask the Pro"blog on Detail Image's site.
 
not sure if it was mentioned already but the pet hair stone guys are referring to can be found by searching 'furzoff'

and as mentioned above, be careful on cloth seats. as well as any adjacent plastic to the carpeted areas (the stone will scuff them if not careful)

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.

Check your local superstore in the toilet cleaning area. Its nothing more than a pumice stone, often recommended (also) for removing hard water rings from the porcelain throne.

Not sure is this sponge is like the rubber comb I bought or not, but that comb sits on the shelf alot.

Your comb sits on the shelf a lot? I thought we were talking about pet hair...not your lack of hair? ;-) I am not sure if I would know what to do with a comb if I owned one...

It is actually a polyurethane sponge (often called a soot sponge)...if you have ever had to clean up after a fire you will know how effective they can be...

Good to know, Probably a lot cheaper too.

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.

These are great tips that I will add to my arsenal! Thanks guys!
 
The name of the sponge I use, is called Pet Hair Lifter. Its green in color and I got it at Dollar Tree for $1. Google it

A damp microfiber works great too
 
I think i got a bad pumice stone and gave up on them. Will have to try another one. In the meantime I go with rubber dish gloves. The purple ones work great where the yellow ones dont work at all.
 
My method is a pet hair brush that has round nubs on it. when you run in on the carpet it creates static to attract the hair the brush.I will brush the hair into the vacuum nozzle and it goes bye bye. if you are on the dash the old rubber glove does the trick in a similar manner. I detail a few cars for customers that have very short hair dogs and you can not imagine how they shed. this method is basic but it will work every time . if you run across a ride full of hair and are in doubt , time to pull the rubber brush or gloves out !
 
Chemical sponges work great.

I am a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner and the only thing I have found to work well on upholstery is a chemical sponge. It is NOT a typical sponge you can get at walmart of other retailers.

Chemical sponges are rubbery and hair sticks to them very well. I also give them to customers that have a ton of hair on upholstery.
