Short strokes worked best. I ended up settling on a forward stroke, lift and repeat motion. However, another tester preferred to use a half-circle sweeping motion – both resulted in effective hair removal. Unlike other fur removers, the Gonzo Pet Hair Lifter also traps dander and dust. This leaves each area you wipe incredibly clean. A downside to this is that the sponge will discolor over time. However, I am happy to report that this in no way affects performance. I found this article extremely helpful as I hate chores almost as much as I hate dog hair on everything in the house (including my toothbrush). While it may seem like a pet hair remover gets rid of dog hair like magic, they are, by no means, a miracle product – they work best with frequent cleaning. Kurgo Shed Sweeper was a modern fur remover with rubber bristles. The Kurgo Shed Sweeper could have been great for smaller areas of hair removal, such as your car seat covers. Unfortunately, the tall design meant it was difficult to squeeze into narrow areas like under your seat. The bristles are also spaced wider than other hair removers. This made it less effective at removing short, coarse dog hair.

Best pet hair removers for a fur-free home (23+ Tested!) 6 Best pet hair removers for a fur-free home (23+ Tested!)

need a pet hair remover. Dog hair is worse than glitter. Even if your dog doesn’t shed, hair still turns up everywhere… As for whether you need one, it all depends on your dog. Do you own a heavy shedder, such as an Akita, Chow Chow or Golden Retriever? If yes, then you’ll be all too familiar with dog hair covering every surface of your home. In addition to this, I also cleaned 12 different houses owned by people I befriended at the local dog park. The one condition? That they had indoor dogs. Who would turn down a free cleaning? This allowed me to test the pet hair removers on a wide range of different surfaces and materials.

Conclusion

We tested a variety of candidates, such as the Furzapper (featured in the guide) and a range of generic products such as washer lint balls, lint traps and a floating pet hair collector (that was only suitable for top load washing machines.) Like my former neighbor. She slept with three fully grown Alaskan Malamutes. You had better bet that her king-sized bed was always covered in dog hair. It disgusted me, but it didn’t bother her in the slightest. But then, she hated chores too. Unfortunately, these products failed to noticeably reduce pet hair. It didn’t matter if it was towels, sheets or clothes, we experienced the same. It appears that removing pet hair from wet fabric is a difficult task. Even the wool balls that perform well in the dryer failed to impress in the washing machine. When determining which size product you need, consider where you’re going to be removing pet hair most often. If you want to get in small spaces or take it on the go, opt for something nimble and light. If, however, you’re trying to cover a lot of territory—such as all the floors in your home—you'll probably want something bigger.

These pet hair removers use a microfiber fabric to trap dog hair. They only work when swiped in one direction. They lift and catch pet hair and require you to remove the dog hair from the brush manually.

Does your dog shed hairs all over your couch and carpet? Are you tired of leaving home with your clothes covered in fur?

For the car, we recommend using a rubber brush. Rubber brushes are best used in tandem with a vacuum because they cause pet hair to clump together into easy-to-remove wads. This cross between a broom, rake, and squeegee is a powerful tool to keep in your pet hair removal tool kit. But this wasn’t a problem for the ChomChom Roller. It took a few minutes, but I was able to return my sweater and yoga pants to a condition not seen in years. My husband now religiously uses the ChomChom Roller on his denim jeans – now if you look at the pair of us in public, you would never guess that we own a dog. Well, unless we are walking her, of course.

In my opinion, the only people who should skip a pet hair remover are those with a hypoallergenic dog or if you aren’t bothered by dog hair… Plastic laundry fur removers rattle and clank as they tumble around inside your dryer. In comparison, the wool balls were whisper-quiet. Besides a few soft bumps, they were not obnoxiously loud or disruptive. A pet hair remover you throw in with your laundry isn’t going to clean your couch. Similarly, smaller pet hair removers that are great for the small gaps in your car are too time-consuming to use on large blankets and sheets.
