Pet Hair Removal- Vacuuming Is Not Enough

If you’re one of the many dog owners in Hailey or Ketchum Idaho and you’ve spent any amount of time hunched over your backseat with a vacuum in hand, you know that removing pet hair from a vehicle is not easy. 

Seat covers, blankets, and pet hammocks will keep some of the fur at bay, but even with these protective measures, pet hair still finds a way into the carpet fibers of your vehicle.  Before you waste an entire Sunday afternoon attempting to vacuum it all out yourself, do what professional detailers do and consider using a pet hair tool.   

Vacuuming alone may remove the loose top layer of pet hair, but unless you do this very regularly, the majority of your pet hair problem is probably more embedded in the vehicle’s upholstery, making your vacuuming efforts nearly useless. 

Using a pet hair tool will help release much of that embedded hair and is then much easier to vacuum.  If you’ve never used a pet hair tool before, it’s a game changer that will almost certainly save you considerable time.  Simply search “pet hair removal tool” on Amazon to see the most common tools used by professionals and DIYers. 

Before purchasing anything, note that not all pet hair tools are ideal for all types of vehicle upholstery.  Some tools can be too aggressive for some vehicles and actually damage interior carpets.   When we at Make It Last Auto Detailing perform pet hair removal, we may have to reach for 3-4 different tools before finding what works for a particular vehicle.  Also, even with a tool, removal can still be a lengthy and tiring process especially in vehicles that have gone a long time without a thorough cleaning.

If you’d rather forgo the search of finding the right tool for your vehicle’s interior, or if the initial removal just seems like too much to tackle, let us take care of it for you.  We offer pet hair removal as an additional service with any of our interior detail packages.  Pricing is based on how many sections/rows of the vehicle contain pet hair.  Currently our pricing is $45 per section/row and this service can easily be added on when you book an appointment online. 

In summary, if you want to save yourself some time the next time your vacuum your vehicle, get yourself a good quality pet hair tool. If you want to save yourself some back pain and do something else with your Sunday afternoon, book a detailing appointment online here.
