Was just wondering what you all use for removing heavy pet hair out of vehicles.

Those things work pretty good?
I use a Pc with the brush attatchment but you can't not get into a lot of places with it.

They work better than just using a vacuum. They are not perfect but it's the best way I've found.

Cool deal! I have a car to do Sunday and it will be filled with pet hair. Looks like I will be making a trip to Petco tomorrow.

I got mine from Meijer actually for $10, it is green and white.

Using that brush and a vacuum at the same time is the best method I've found. It still leaves a couple stray hairs, can never be 100% hairless.

If you wanted to try saving some money, a rubber glove can work fairly well too. (Not to say a brush wouldn't work better, mind you... :D )

Thanks for the tips! I clean this car a few times a year and it is the worst one I get. I think the dog must live in the car or something because you can not see the carpet do to the hair all over. :lol: Not funny actually. :P I picked up this rubber brush thing from Pet Smart and it worked awesome! I was using the Cyclo brush on my PC and that worked great too but it can not reach the tight spots. This brush did a heck of a job. It also gave my arms a workout.

I hear you, after most interior details my arms are killing me.

a vinyl/latex glove misted with water works great. Get the glove wet, scrap into a pile, amd vacuum. Wah La.

same kinda concept as the rubber glove and brush the a mini rubber squeegee I got from *ahem* *cough*TOL*cough*. and that thing is great for pulling the hair into a ball and in one little spot.

Actually you can not attatch pictures from your computer, they have to be online somewhere already. :(

I have had good luck with the Hair and Lint Extractor from Meguiar's.

I just recently got a black lab and I have two long haired adult cats, so there is no shortage of dead hair in our vehicles.

That looks like the tool I use as well. I got mine from the local Pet Smart.
