Getting Dog Hair out of Carpet

Post by Dopecracka »

Hey everyone I'm new here and this is my first post, so forgive me if this has already been covered. I recently purchased an 05 Vibe Base and the previous owner had a golden retriever which means loads of golden hair in the black carpet. I've tried vacuuming and lint rollers but the stuff just doesn't seem to come out. Does anyone have suggestions for the best way to make my carpet black again?

Thanks! :)

The Vibe carpet is the hardest to clean that I've ever seen. You could try a damp dish washing glove, it works on sofas and chairs.

Thanks for your reply! I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

You could also try some very tacky tape and run it across the carpet.

X2 ! That's exactly what I was going to suggest. I have a WIDE roll of Gray 4" duct tape! Covers a lot of area and one good strip of it will do almost all of the carpeting! :D

x3! I've always used packaging tape with great success.
