How to get rid of cat hair

How to get rid of cat hair

How do you get rid of cat hair from chairs?


By Country Queries of The Field

Monday, 01 June 2009

A local cat has been breaking into our house by squeezing through any window we leave open, no matter how small the gap. Though we have virtually cured this problem, we can't seem to get rid of the excess cat hair left behind. It appears to be stuck to various chairs and a vacuum doesn't remove it despite the manufacturer's claims. Can you help?

A quick and efficient way to remove cat hair from upholstery is by using a rubber glove that has a raised grip on its palm. Put the glove on, dampen it, then rub in short scraping motions against the fabric. The cat hair will stick to the glove. This also works using a dampened sponge. If you are concerned about the upholstery getting slightly damp, test a small area first to see whether it marks.
