Cleaning Pet Hair from Carpets (5 Professional Tips)

    If you have pets, you know how difficult it can be to keep carpets free from hair. Pet hair embeds itself into the fibres, making it tough to remove with regular cleaning.

    At Five Valleys Cleaning, we have the expertise and tools needed to thoroughly clean pet hair from carpets, leaving your home feeling fresh.

    Here are some effective ways to get rid of pet hair from your carpets, and how we can help you achieve a spotless finish.

    5 Tips for Cleaning Pet Hair from Carpets!

    1. Vacuum with a Pet-Specific Attachment

    The first step to removing pet hair from carpets is using a vacuum equipped with a pet hair attachment.

    These attachments, often featuring motorised brush rolls or rubber tips, are designed to pull embedded hair out of carpet fibres more effectively than standard vacuum heads.

    Regular vacuuming is key to maintaining a pet-hair-free carpet, but make sure to go slowly and make multiple passes over problem areas.

    Professional Cleaning Tip: At Five Valleys Cleaning, we use high-powered vacuums with specialised pet hair tools to remove even the most stubborn hair from deep within your carpets.

    2. Use a Carpet Rake

    A carpet rake is a handy tool that can be used to pull up pet hair before vacuuming.

    By combing through the carpet, it loosens hair that has settled into the fibres, making it easier for the vacuum to pick up.

    Raking your carpet regularly can help reduce the accumulation of hair and improve the overall cleanliness of your home.

    Professional Cleaning Tip: Our cleaners at Five Valleys Cleaning use carpet rakes in high-traffic or pet-prone areas to ensure that every bit of hair is removed, leaving your carpets looking refreshed.

    3. Rubber Gloves or Squeegee for Small Areas

    For smaller sections of carpet or tough-to-reach spots, a pair of rubber gloves or a squeegee can work wonders.

    Simply rub the rubber surface over the carpet, and static electricity will cause the pet hair to cling to the gloves or squeegee.

    This method is especially useful on stairs or in corners where vacuums may struggle to reach.

    Professional Cleaning Tip: We use similar methods for detail cleaning, making sure no stray pet hair is left behind in tight spaces or along edges.

    4. Baking Soda for Odour Control and Hair Removal

    Sprinkling baking soda over your carpets can help with both odour control and hair removal. The fine particles of baking soda loosen pet hair, making it easier for the vacuum to pick up.

    Plus, it absorbs pet odours, leaving your carpets smelling fresh. Let the baking soda sit for 10-15 minutes before vacuuming to get the best results.

    Professional Cleaning Tip: Our team uses eco-friendly products and methods, including natural odour-neutralising techniques, to ensure your carpets smell great and are free from pet hair.

    5. Deep Cleaning with Steam Cleaners

    Steam cleaning your carpets is one of the most effective ways to thoroughly clean and remove embedded pet hair.

    The heat and moisture from a steam cleaner help loosen and lift hair trapped in the carpet, while also sanitising the area.

    This method is particularly helpful for homes with long-haired pets or during shedding seasons.

    Professional Cleaning Tip: At Five Valleys Cleaning, we offer professional carpet steam cleaning services. Our powerful equipment ensures that your carpets are deeply cleaned, removing not only pet hair but also dirt, dander, and odours.
