Ridding your upholstered furniture of pet hair can be quite difficult. But, it does not have to be. With a few easy steps you can have your furniture looking as if your home does not have pets. At least, not on the furniture.
Diagnosing a Pet Hair Problem
Okay, you know you have a problem if you have a friend come over to your home wearing clean black pants and have them leave with a fur-covered rear end from sitting on your furniture. How embarrassing! Or, if the actual color of your upholstered furniture no longer shows through the cat or dog hair matted on the fabric. That is really disgusting.
Gather Your Cleaning Supplies
You will need a few things to tackle this problem head on. First, find a pair of those thick rubber gloves used for washing dishes and cleaning the bathroom. Do not confuse these with the little flimsy gloves used for handling raw meat or dyeing your hair. You want the durable ones that have the textured marks on the fingers. You will also need to get a bucket of warm, soapy water. Make sure that your upholstered furniture can handle getting a bit damp. You can either read the manufacturers tag on the cushion or test a small, out of the way spot. Get a roll of duct tape next. You can also grab a few dryer sheets, such as Bounce.
Get Busy
Now it's time to start working. If your upholstered furniture can take a little water, put the rubber gloves on your hands and dip them in the sudsy water. Wipe off any actual soap bubbles, and just start rubbing your upholstered furniture with your gloved hands. This is a fantastic way to remove pet hair. You need to constantly rinse your hands to remove the pet hair. Continue doing this until the pet hair has been removed from your upholstered furniture. Let it dry.
