How to Remove Pet Hair From Your Car

Pet hair weaves itself into car carpet and cloth seats, which is why a regular vacuum often leaves most of it behind. If you're tackling it yourself, start with a rubber glove or pet hair stone to pull hair into clumps, then vacuum slowly with a stiff brush attachment.

DIY tips

  • Lightly mist fabric with water so hair releases more easily
  • Work in one direction with a rubber brush or glove
  • Vacuum seams and under seats where hair collects
  • Use a seat cover or hammock for future trips

When to call a professional
