Pet hair all over your clothes can be extremely annoying right? Well, there are however a few ways to make removing the hairs easier. This blog post shall outline a few simple yet effective methods for removing pet hair on clothes.

Preventing

By simply preventing hair build up it naturally becomes more manageable. Preventative measures you could use are:

– Isolating your pets from your clothes. This could be achieved by preventing pets from going upstairs. With cats just shut doors to bedrooms.

– Hoovering on a regular basis can make a huge difference to the amount of pet hair floating around the house.

– Brushing or grooming your pets regularly will help to reduce the amount of loose pet hair on them. Thus, reducing the amount of pet hair being collected on your clothes.

The use of water

Water can be a very effective tool in getting up pet hair. This is because the moisture from the water makes the hair heavy and therefore more dense. This then causes the hair to be less able to stick to surfaces. With slightly dampening your clothes, you should find that the pet hair starts to stick you your hand instead of your clothing.

Alternatively, using the same principles, instead of your hand you could use a sponge or cloth. You should find that the hair starts to curl up into a ball and stick to the sponge or cloth and no longer your clothes.

Damp rubber gloves are another option.

Sellotape

Sellotape has a strong grip surface, making it an ideal item in pet hair removal. By simply laying Sellotape on and lifting off will help to remove much of the hair on your clothes.  There are also special lint rollers that act in the same way.
