Having pets has a lot something fun and warm. Not only they are good company for your family members, they help your children learn how to love and care others. However they create some problems as well. One of the major problems is their hair staying on sofa, carpet and other furniture. As they are small and very attach to the furniture, it¡¦s quite difficult to get rid of them.

Pets shed their hairs and get everywhere. These tiny hairs can be very annoying when it go deep into clothing, coaches, carpet and furniture. They are not just unpleasant in appearance, pets hairs are actually one of the source of different kind of allergies. They have bad impact to the respiratory system especially for young kids.

Here are some simple ways to get rid of the pet¡¦s hair from you clothing and furniture.

Rollers or Tape

This is probably the cheapest, simplest and yet effective method. It works exceptionally well for removing pet hair from clothing where there is an uneven surface. Simply use the roller to move back and forth against the hairy areas until all hairs have been picked up. Make sure to tear off the piece when it is fully covered up by hair and do not stick any more. Similar technique applies when you use package tape, duck tape or scotch tape. Wrap you hand with the non-sticky side toward your and adhesive side face out. Brush your hand over the desired area and pick up the hairs thoroughly. However rollers and tape method may not work so well for larger piece of furniture like sofa and carpet. It can be a tiring job if you do so.

Lint Brush

Have you try to use a lint brush to clean out the lint on your cloth especially for wool and woven clothes. They can be used in picking pet hair from yours cloth also. The key is to drag the brush in one direction only. Do not brush back and forth as by reversing the direction you can re-deposit the hair onto the furniture. Smaller items such as chair and coaches are suitable for lint brush. However it may leave out some small gaps unattended because the lint brush is flat. So you may need to follow up with a tape to work in more detail areas.

Vacuum Cleaner

They is the most effective and handy method as a suitable vacuum cleaner can cover a large piece of area. This is especially good for carpet, curtain and large sofa. Eureka and other vacuum companies have come out with several pet hair attachments to help suck up pet hair from difficult pieces such as carpet. You may use two different head attachments to deal with larger flat surface such as carpet and smaller gaps and hanging pieces such as curtain.
