Owning a pet can be a hairy business. While there is no end to the cutesy antics of our little bundles of joy, there’s also no end to their hair shedding and making our homes look like textile factories.
The shedding of fur is an essential life process for all dogs and helps them remove old fur. This is so that a new and shiny coat can grow in its place.
Whether your dog is a high shedding breed like a Labrador retriever or a low fur one like a dachshund, dog hair is just part and parcel of life with your pooch. Today, we’re bringing you the best pet hair remover tools for managing the hairy mess at your home with ease.
1. Rubber Gloves
One of the simplest ways of removing dog hair from your home involves a good old fashioned pair of rubber gloves. Put on a pair of basic latex gloves, get them slightly damp (or even dry) and go to town on your fur-covered sofa, rug or clothes.

2.Sticky Lint Roller
One of the least expensive ways of removing pet hair is a handy little device for a quick touch of cleaning here and there; the Sticky Lint Roller. Just move this sticky roller back and forth all types of surfaces to get rid of any type of dust and fur. The sticky tape of lint rollers will remove pet hair from carpet, clothes, furniture and soft surfaces and needs to be replaced after a certain amount of use.
It’s not the ideal tool for dehairing the whole living room in one go. But for many, it’s probably going to be enough. If looking for a more eco-friendly solution that doesn’t require consumables, try the Sticky Buddy Reusable Pet Hair Remover Brush. For a lint roller on steroids, try the Evercare Pet Mega Cleaning Roller.

The Zoom Groom is a grooming brush for your pet that also works for shampooing. It removes loose hair from your pet and stimulates capillaries on your pet’s skin to promote a healthy skin and coat. It works great for both short and long fur and leaves your pet feeling good after a “groomassage”. The only minor downside is that dogs may mistake it for a chew toy. Better not leaving it lying around!

10. Winix Pet Air Purifier
If you or someone in your home is allergic to pet hair, a good air purifier can help keep the place clean and make the air feel less stuffy. While most air purifiers are good for dealing with pollen and smoke, this Winix model was built specifically to purify the air with pet hair and dander in it. Using PlasmaWave technology, this purifier gets rid of pollutants on a molecular scale, neutralizing viruses, odors, and allergens. Another plus of this pet hair remover is the fact that the air filters are washable.

11. Fur-Zoff
This cheap little product is like a pumice stone for lifting pet hair out of upholstery and carpeting and is very good at what it does. Reviewers are amazed at how good it is at attracting hair and auto interior detailers swear by this product. You have to clean the rock as you go because it loses its ability to collect hair once it has caught enough. This little pet hair remover works great on soft surfaces but you have to be very careful on hard surfaces because it can scratch them.

12. Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Cordless Hand Vacuum
If you don’t have the space for an upright vacuum such as the Bissel or Shark Rotator, a hand vacuum such as this Bissell can also do the job. It’s great for small spaces and has nearly the same suction power as an upright vacuum. It’s cordless, which means you’ll never trip on a power cord, and comes with an upholstery and crevice tool so you can use it to get pet hair out of every nook and cranny. This makes it in our opinion one of the best pet hair vacuums.
Alternatively, go for a robot vacuum – it might just change your life…. for the better!
Of course, not every option works well for everyone and some are more easy to use than others. However, we hope this post has helped you chose the very best pet hair remover for yourself!
