advice please: remove dog hair from car carpeting.

[Dustyg]

Anyone know how to remove dog hair (short) from floor carpeting in car? I've tried vacuum, roller, and shipping tape...the hair is all still there. If I have to choose between clean carpets and happy dogs, I'll always choose happy dogs, but I'd love to have both if possible, thanks.

There is a small suction powered beater bar that fits on my shop vac.
Maybe I could loan it to you.
I may have an extra one you could buy.

When I had a Salvation Army imitation oriental carpet, I could NOT vacuum the dog hair out of it; when I told a friend that I couldn't understand why, since I could vacuum the hair easily out of a real one. He said "that's the difference between a $20 rug and a $220 one.

What I did to get the hair out of the other one was get down on the floor with a hair "pick" and laboriously comb it out...and I soon gave it back to the Salvation Army....

There's a grooming tool with fat rubber teeth, used for horses. I think its called a rubber curry. It works really well getting hair off things. Also used a "furminator" which could help unless the fabric is loosely woven and can catch on the very fine teeth it uses. Good luck. Its not impossible.
