How To Remove Stubborn Pet Hair From Your Car

January 5, 2022

For the people who own pets, they are more than mere pets. Our pets are part of the family, and having the opportunity to travel with them is often one of the most enjoyable things we get to experience with them.

When we travel with our pets, we introduce them to new things and places they wouldn’t get to see otherwise, but the excitement can quickly dwindle once we see all the hair left in their place on the seat. Luckily, there are several actions pet owners can take that will help us to remove and prevent pet hair from being a permanent accessory in our car.

Proactiveness Vs Reactiveness

If you’re worried about the amount of hair your pet could potentially be leaving behind in your car, it is always better to be proactive as opposed to being reactive.

Being proactive will allow you to keep your pets hair from being left behind, whereas trying to react to the amount of hair in your car and trying to remove it is a much larger undertaking.

A reactive approach to fixing your cars hair problem is usually a far more involved process because it requires you to remove hair that is stuck within the fabric of your car.

Best Methods For Removing Your Pets Hair From Your Car

There are many different ways to remove dog hair from the seats of your vehicle, from using things like balloons or a wire brush or any number of other methods you want to use, we are going to go over some of our favorites.

Seat Covers - Specialty seat covers will prevent your pets hair from getting on your seats in the first place and will allow you to remove the cover and clean that instead of trying to clean the fabric itself. Any hair that does make it through the cover will be confined to one spot on the seat and will become much easier to clean.

Furz-Off - A Furz-Off brush is made from foamed glass and looks very similar to a pumice stone. Furz-off brushes are specifically designed to remove pet hair from car seats. They are great for fabric seats that hair can easily become embedded in because of how pourace they are.

Silicone Brushes - Silicone brushes are great when it comes to cleaning embedded pet hair, they can be used to remove hair from a number of different spots in your car. The brushes can vary in firmness depending on a few factors like what material you are looking to clean hair out of and also where in the car you are looking to clean.

Latex Gloves - Latex gloves are another great option for removing pet hair from your car seats because of the friction they are able to create. By rubbing your hands over the upholstery, enough friction is created to easily pick up hair, dirt, lint, and any other debris trapped in the upholstery in your car seats.

Removing pet hair after the fact can be a rigorous and time consuming process and being proactive in preventing hair from becoming trapped in your car seats can save you a lot of time. If your car seats already have your pets hair trapped in them, these are just some of the many ways that can be used to remove the hair that is stuck.

Whether you want to handle the removal yourself or you would rather save time and have a professional remove the trapped hair for you is entirely your call.
